Today we’d like to introduce you to Tim Reppert.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Tim. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I started at Soundtrack in 1982 after attending Berklee College of Music. I worked my way up from intern to head engineer in 1985, then moved to NYC to work at Soundtrack NY. I moved to Ithaca NY in 1991 to build my own recording studio there. After 16 years in Ithaca I returned to Soundtrack in 2006 and have been here since then.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I have had my share of bumps in the road. When I started my own studio in 1991 in Ithaca, NY it took a few years to make any money, but it eventually became a successful recording studio.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
We are mainly known for audio production for radio and TV advertising. We also do a fair amount of ADR work for Film and TV, replacing the dialog track on TV shows and Hollywood films. We also own a few other companies that are in the same building, a music library company called AirCraft, which licenses music that we have created for advertising, film, and TV productions. A video company called Finish that does visual effects, color grading, and editing for the same industries. On the first floor of our building we have a shooting stage for print or video shoots called Motion CYC. We have many services under one roof.
What were you like growing up?
I was the kind of kid that liked to take things apart, mostly electronics, to see what they looked like on the inside. After a while I was able to put them back together with fewer and fewer extra parts. I also liked to crate clubs with friends that eventually turned into musical groups. I was in all the bands in school and loved to play music. When I saw my first recording studio I realized that was my destiny.
