About Our Company
TERRA NOVA DIGITAL AUDIO, INC. was established
in 1990 by Jerry and Diane Tubb in Austin, Texas. Jerry,
being an accomplished musician, educator, and recording professional,
saw the need for a professional audio mastering and editing studio
to provide services previously unavailable regionally. Terra
Nova was the first of its kind in the central Texas area, and
has been totally committed to providing the services our clients
need to fulfill their creative visions and to bring their projects
to a complete professional level. Through the evolution
of Terra Nova, the client list has grown to grand proportions,
and the commitment to high quality continues, the same as the
day the business began.
The mastering process is an essential step for a polished, professional
product. The sound is everything. This high tech
digital age has elevated the "ears" of the average
listener to a high level of sophistication. The average
listener may not be able to measure exactly why one CD sounds
better than another, but they know there is a difference. Sonic
quality is our main concern. Our engineers have exceptional
abilities at analyzing the sonic quality of audio productions. We
are specialists at getting the best results for our client's
recordings. We have mastered virtually every genre of music
and spoken word, and our engineers are also experts at archiving
and restoration.
When a client has completed the recording and mixing of a project,
the mastering process is the next step toward a complete professional
sound. When a client contacts Terra Nova about scheduling a session,
they will need to tell the staff the final mix format, the length
of the project (in minutes), the number of tracks, the format
the project will be mastered for (i.e., DVD Surround , CD, or
vinyl duplication). It is helpful if the client knows his/her
goals for their particular project, whether they are planning
to sell CD's or DVD’s to the public, for promotional or
demo purposes, to get a record label interested, or for the client's
own enjoyment. Having this information when contacting
Terra Nova to set up a session will enable the staff to give
an estimate of the time and money that will be involved. The
client can then plan a budget.
Our staff is always ready to provide our clients with the best,
most professional service that they deserve. We are here
to help our clients realize their full potential as artists.
Terra Nova Digital Audio, Inc moved into new facilities in July
of 2002. The new studio is located about 8 miles west of downtown
Austin, Texas, in the Oak Hill area. Our new location is
easily accessible from all areas , major freeways, and about
20 minutes from the airport. Our facilities provide a spacious,
comfortable, and relaxed atmosphere for the clients. We have
two mastering suites, including complete DVD surround mastering
capabilities. We are just minutes from restaurants and overnight
