What is IVOS?
IVOS stands to Interactive Virtual Online Session and is the system set up on GoranGrooves platform that will enable you take part in the recording session remotely as it is happening.
We stream a LIVE stereo mix of the recording session to you and talk to you, while you are also able to talk back to us and give instructions- all in the real time.

The GoranGrooves difference:
While there are other solutions out there for online communication, none are as easy as ours. You are able to hear a very good quality STEREO audio from our studio, talk back to us and all without any special software, plugins or costs!
Why IVOS?
In order to keep the prices of our custom tracks low and more affordable to you, we need to optimize our recording process. That means avoiding unnecessary re-recordings because of minor requests which may result in subsequent charges to the client. By participating in IVOS, you are able to ask the musician to try out different things before committing to the part. This way you can quickly find what works best for the song. You will have a total creative input during the recording session and be sure to get what you are after. You will save us time and yourself money.
How does it work and what do I need?
You will be provided with the link and detailed instructions prior to the session.
Don't worry- we made it very simple and easy for you.
There is no special software to install. IVOS operates on GoranGrooves platform. All you need is a microphone plugged into your computer to talk to us and headphones (or speakers) to hear us. Your browser has to have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (10 or up) installed, which 99% of the browsers do. A broadband connection is advisable (as little as 500kbps down and 100 kbps up).
How much does it Cost?
There is no additional fee to participate in IVOS.
Is there a delay?
Yes, there is a slight delay, because the signal may have to travel far distances. However, this does not impact the flow of the session at all.
How do I opt in for IVOS?
You will have the option of requesting IVOS during the submission process for custom tracks.

Customer Testimonials

"Tremendous skill, listened to our needs and delivered; and is truly nice guy on top of that! Goran's attention and professionalism is second to none. I was impressed by his efficiency and how he connected with the songs. The quality of the recording is excellent. He can handle anything you throw at him and take it to the next level. In the words of the terminator......"I'll be back"..."
Eddie Figueroa
"I love the sensitive support that you gave to my vocals and that you did it in a timely fashion. You're on my list of first calls for my next recording project."
"My project was facing the prospect of artificial drums (not a good thing for a slightly folky pop song…) when i stumbled upon Goran's site. Two days later i had real, human drums tracks in my Pro Tools session, recorded half way around the world away. Goran's feel and performance is second to none, but he also makes excellent use of the internet to get this done easily and quickly. Highly recommended, especially if you are on the move."
Martin MacDonald

"Totally amazed at the professionalism and the speed of completion. Sound quality was stellar. Our project was not laid out with an online drummer in mind but Goran pulled it together and turned our first project song into a keeper. Goran is our new 'go to' drummer. Just wished I wouldn't have procrastinated so long...lol. Thanks."
Mike Davidson
"Goran turned out to be the best decision I ever made for my CD. Not only is he an exceptional drummer, he is a great engineer, studio musician and a really great person to work with.

I look forward to making more great music with you."

"I sent my tracks to GoranGrooves one evening, and had tracks to review the following morning. I was amazed at the quick turnaround time. To my surprise, Goran was incredibly accessible. Each question I sent via email received a response within 2 minutes. The recording quality...Top Notch. The price...fabulous. I can't wait to get my next tune sent to Goran Grooves. This is the EASIEST and HIGHEST QUALITY drum part I have ever had on my recordings. Thank you VERY much, GoranGrooves!"

Percussion Tracks
Spice up the groove!
Percussion tracks – percussion can really enhance the groove of the music. Why not have the same feel for percussion as for the drums, so they can groove better together? A choice of congas, shakers, bongos, timbales, sound fx, cajon, doumbek, and more is available for your convenience.
Did you know that Goran had spent several years on the road playing a variety of percussion instruments with "Ole-Ole", a show which blends Rumba / Flamenco with Latin and Arabic Rhythms?
Individual drum samples of the session
More control during production with individual drum sounds.
Individual drum samples – Going one step further to allow for more flexibility during the production process, having individual sounds of the kit. This is useful for replacing an occasional sound in the drum recording. For example: at the end of a fill on toms, you may hear a crash cymbal coming through the Floor Tom mic. By replacing that floor tom hit with an individually-recorded clean floor tom sample, it can make the entire mix sound cleaner.
