Some technical stuff:
We are proudly rooted in Steinberg Nuendo as our Digital Audio Workstation of choice, with an extensive feature set that complements our needs in music composition, editing, sound design, and final mix.
Our studios are all interconnected by a Dante audio network setup across all of our rooms and workstations, which means we can record from anywhere at any time. And all studios are equipped with Genelec monitoring systems and acoustically treated for the highest audio fidelity.

We have a Dolby Atmos Mixing Studio (cinema) and offer a variety of remote recording solutions including Source Connect Pro X, VST Connect Pro, Audiomovers ListenTo, and video conferencing (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams). This includes fully synchronous remote ADR features on simple home recording setups, with no additional requirements.

Pressure Music Catalogue - it's not just a music library; it’s a carefully curated Music Catalogue.

We understand that creative projects often come with tight deadlines and budgets, so we’ve created this catalogue to bring your brave ideas to life, no matter what.

Our continuously growing selection of premium tracks is composed by our own team from real briefs for real creatives, and is packaged into an easy-to-use resource.

Each track is customisable, giving you direct access to the composition sessions, making it the next best thing to commissioning original music.

Navigating music licensing can be daunting, but we're here to guide you through it, ensuring you make the most of our extensive collection for your projects.
