The International Database of Licensed Music (IDBLM), is an initiative aimed at promoting transparency in music licensing.
COATRAX is proud to have obtained the IDBLM Seal of Authenticity - a badge that indicates inclusion in the IDBLM database, and that our COATRAX's mechanical licensing has been acquired and verified.
SAMPLED INSTRUMENTS
Every instrument used in the creation of a COATRAX is selected from sample libraries featuring two world renowned Symphony Orchestras. This lends a more realistic, natural aural experience during performances.
​
​
TEMPO MAPPING TO RECORDED OR "LIVE" PERFORMANCES
In a recorded or "live" performance, there will be fluctuations in tempo from bar to bar. The entire COATRAX is meticulously tempo mapped to closely approximate the phrasing and breath points as well as the tempo changes and nuances of
ACTUAL PERFORMANCES.
No Re-Balance VST plugins are ever used in the production of a COATRAX.
ORCHESTRAL CONFIGURATION
Each instrument is positioned in the spectrum of a COATRAX to simulate a typical Symphony Orchestra's configuration. For example; first violins on the left and cellos on the right etc.
FREQUENCY SPECTRUM
The COATRAX for every choral work has been mixed and mastered primarily with the choir in mind. It has been engineered to be flexible enough so that with minimal adjustments on the mix board, a seamless, realistic and natural aural experience for both choir and congregation can be achieved during the performance. No preset reverbs or dithering were applied. This helps to bring a more authentic "live" feel to performances at any venue.
THE CHOIR LOFT/SOUND STAGE SETUP
With reasonably good speakers, stage monitors and microphones strategically positioned, knowledgeable A.V. personnel and /or front-of-house sound engineers will be able to blend COATRAX into complementing choirs of any size during rehearsals or performances.
