Multibeat Music: Music Mastering Services

Mohr's first serious mastering work for compact disc dates back to 1997, and first vinyl mastering projects around 2001-2004. His work in many genres since this time has satisfied various repeat clients.

Many of his mastering projects over the years have involved the shaping of cold, digital recordings of electronic music into rich, organic, inviting listening experiences. This mastering of electronica into warm, punchy curves has been the labour of love on such projects as Minefield, Drums and Machines and Interdimensional Industries bands such as Theatre Ov Idiots, Cryptomnesia, Releveler, and Landscape Body Machine.

He has worked on pop/folk mastering recently with Laugh Out Loud (now The Best Friends With Wolves Club), Ruth Cassie, and jazz combo mastering with Sarah Jerrom.

Coming soon: before/after comparison audio samples.

Multibeat Music Mastering is inexpensive: with full-album projects starting at $100/song - discounts are available. Inquire with an email for details.

Multibeat Music: Audio Postproduction, Sound Editing and Sound Design, Audio Mixing Services

Karl Mohr has worked as a sound editor and sound designer on many IMAX films since 1996, almost exlusively with Thillaye Productions. A solid editor and an ingenious designer, his precision, detail work and attention to authenticity have helped to win international awards. He has also mixed film productions and performed the gamut of audio postproduction duties. Trained as a composer and sound engineer, he has a sensitivity to your creative and technical needs.

Multibeat has designed sounds for iPhone applications - this is an expanding market and a new focus for Multibeat.

Please email for a quote on your project. For large audio postproduction projects, hiring the Thillaye Productions team comes highly recommended.

For more information on audio services, for film, television, video, gaming, new media, etc, please visit the Audio Postproduction and Sound Editing page at Multibeat Music.

Multibeat Music: Creative Music Services, Composition

With the recent emphasis on sound editing, Mohr's music-for-picture has not been busy since the late nineties. There was a heavy period of music composition for corporate video in Vienna from 2001-2004, and he composed some music for the award-winning Latvian film, Monotonija, in 2006. His back-catalog music resume for picture is impressive - he's eager to resume writing music for the screen.

Please email to discuss your custom composition needs.

Multibeat Music: Music Recording, Album Production

Karl Mohr has produced a number of lovely albums, songs, remixes. Because of the fastidiousness that goes into making a finely-honed album of music, offering so-called 'competitive' rates is not a priority for Multibeat. Only with considerable interest in a project which includes a reasonable budget (ie. $3,000 or more), are album production projects possible.

Music mixing on projects that have been tracked at other studios is very attractive to Multibeat - rates on mixing projects are quite reasonable.

The last album recorded and produced by Mohr was Ruth Cassie's "Ivan Blackbird's Story", which featured international internet collaborations, layered string orchestras and complex vocal production. It is well worth a listen on CBC Radio 3.

Mohr is currently working with Brian West on his pop/dance songs.

Please email to discuss the recording or mixing of your music.

Visit our Album Production page for more notes on making records.

Multibeat Music: Voice Talent, Voice Recording

The straight goods on voice recording: we have good mics; we have a quiet place to record with an acoustically-balanced space; we have a talent roster which may match the voice needs of your project; we can produce voiceover sessions which evoke an exacting performance from the talent for the production (or engineer for your own producers).

We are competent and inexpensive. If you have a modest budget and need voice work, you will be impressed with the results of Multibeat studio.

Please email to discuss what type of voice, performance and session you are interested in recording.

Note: the Voice Talent page is out of date, incomplete and under construction. Currently working to get proper demos and talent list soon.

Multibeat Records: Karl Mohr's Record Label

While in Austria in 2001, Mohr had a rear-view mirror glimpse of Canadian electronica and decided to start a small experimental label called Multibeat Records. In essence, it consisted of a music review blog website featuring write-ups of some of the interesting submissions. Later, Karl changed course and decided to use his record label exclusively to release his own projects.
