Thanks to MusFormation.com for featuring Christian Howes String Production:
In these days of endless plugins and synthetic sounds, sometimes having the real thing can mean all the difference in the world. If orchestral is the sound you’re going for on your recording it can often seem ridiculously impossible to organize people, record the parts and absorb all the costs. Christian Howes String Productions attempts to offer remote recording of strings and orchestral arrangements at a very affordable price.

Another Satisfied Client

John Presley recently featured our production efforts in his Music Composer Blog after we recorded strings on a piece composed by his collaborator Tyler Vahldick.
Read his blog and listen to the song, here.
An excerpt:
I highly recommend using Christian on your next string project. This really shows the possibilities for creating music around the world, using technology not just to make music faster and cheaper – but to make music that comes to life with the spirit of collaboration. Being able to write a piece and put it in the hands of professionals makes the creation process a lot more fun!

Christian Howes Strings Production Go Platinum!
Posted January 29, 2010 in General Blog
Recently, we had the opportunity to contribute to the Platinum selling UK supergroup Westlife in the production of their new album Where We Are. Released in November 2009 in the UK, it placed #28 on the 2009 UK Year-end Album Chart with 427,000 sales. To date, the group has sold over 45 million records worldwide with seven of their singles having topped the UK charts.
We worked with Jesse Astin and Scott Cutler’s studio in L.A., contributing over 40 string tracks to their song “The Difference”. This song is the 7th track in their newest album and was written and produced by Scott Cutler, Anne Preven, and Brian Kennedy Seals.
Big thanks to the brilliant young producer, Jesse Astin, for recommending us on this project! As always, props to the fabulous and dedicated arrangers and players on our team, which on this song included Christopher Marion, violin, and Catherine Bent, cello.
Here’s a sample of the strings track we contributed to the song:
