NFL Produksjoner - Your InternetStudioPartner

(Press the picture to watch a presentation video, with details from the two studios I work from)

NFL Produksjoner can be your Internet Studio Partner — helping you get Broadcast Quality and Release Quality  for your songs 

And — even help you get digital distribution, without yearly cost or startup cost! (more on the Current Price List page)

My studio is situated at 1.st floor in Building 66, in Hydroparken—a creativity and technology center in Notodden, Telemark, Norway.

My old studio had a fire in 2008, and all my equipment —collected over a period of over 20 years—was totally damaged by the fire and the smoke. When I build my new studio, I decided to go for a full digital solution. So, it is brand new, and completely based on digital technology, and with the help of ProTools and Samplitude, monitors and sub-bass from Adam, plugins from Massey, Trillium Lane, Sonnox Oxford, Izotope and Waves, among others, —and convolution technology like the Focusrite Liquid Mix, I can provide you with mixes that will make your songs shine, and make you smile.

I can't guarantee you a chart-listing or a record-deal, however, one song I Mixed & Mastered (with digital-only technology) in 2009, reached No. 13 on the Official Norwegian Singles Sales Chart, and I mastered an album that reach 32 on the top-40 sales list in May 2011, so with the results I deliver, it is possible.

As you know, 'It's not the gear—it's the ear!'
Still, there might be times where one would want analog processing. Letting the drums hit real 2 inch tape, and processing your vocal through a real Fairchild 660?

If you for any reason would want to have your songs processed by the 'real thing', I also work from the locally famous and award-winning Notodden studio 'Juke Joint Studio', doing recording, mixing, and processing.
Recordings I've done there, includes recording the 77-year old blues-legend 'Lazy Lester' from Louisiana, the summer of 2010, for his 2011 album, and recording and mixing the 2011 album of the award winning Rita Engedalen.
The studio is in the neighboring building from my own studio, literally 50 meters away, and they have an large amount of famous analog gear, including a Fairchild 660, 2x Teletronics LA2A, Urei 1176 LN, Urei 1178, RCA BA6A, 2x Pultec MEQ5, a Pultec EQP1A, EMT 140 mono, EMT 140 stereo, and lots of more, including the great sounding mixing board, the Auditronics 501 'Son of 36 Grands' with the inscription 'Property of Stax Studio, Memphis' — yes, it looks like it used to be in the Stax Studio back in the old days ...
And a great microphone collection, including a fab sounding RCA 44 bx, two RCA 77 dx, an original Neumann U47, a Neumann U87, and the usual Shures and Sennheisers, and some Røde mics.
And; a very large recording space with 5 meters to the roof! 
Oh—and did I mention the super sounding MCI 2-inch 24-track machine?
For that tape sound, here we got real tape!

You can also look at a video recorded there in May 2010, made by the National Norwegian Broadcast Company, NRK, it's available at their web page.
They made a lengthy radio programme about the studio, and they also made an article about it on their web, and they also made a video from some live blues playing in the studio.

I was the engineer, and you can see me shortly in the beginning of the video, and I'm also quoted on the web page:  http://www.nrk.no/kultur_og_underholdning/1.7174621
