Over several decades Rick Allen Creative has become one of the largest suppliers of broadcast branding tools... Production Libraries and station imaging parts. Fun and creativity are the cornerstones of everything we do. Come on in and listen or download demos of our work. Pictures to the left give you an inside look at the studios and gear that we use to forge the sound tools stations around the world use to brand themselves. On the "dropping names" page you can learn a little more about the people that develop these tools and the stations that use them.
The "ever changing" style of the RAC's sound comes not only from combining advanced digital software technology with classic vintage analog hardware... It also comes from thousands of hours of field recording and untold studio time spent experimenting and breaking the conventional rules of sound design (and sometimes even some self-admitted, jackass-like, late night, mind altered, "you really shouldn't do that to the equipment" recording sessions). We pass a few of those stories along on the "production buzz" page.
Whatever it takes... At Rick Allen Creative, we push the sonic envelope to the limits with the latest in digital recording systems. We also know the secret to grabbing the listener's attention. We have one of the largest collections of custom-built signal processing gear and classic vintage analog synthesizers. This vintage gear makes the difference in the sounds we create. There is a audible difference between the "real" thing and the audio recreated by inexpensive software copycats. With RAC you get the real deal! We operate out of several ProTools recording rooms as well as multiple PC based editing stations. This combination of digital and analog gear along with an incredible creative team is how we became known as the place to turn for great radio imaging.
Multiple ProTools HD systems, a custom built Moog Modular System, ARP 2600, Oberheim Xpander, multiple Mini Moogs, hand-built MIDI to Control Voltage Converters fill the main studio at Rick Allen Creative... but it is the knowledge of how to use them to create great radio imaging that makes it all work.
