How did the name TravSonic evolve?

The company first started providing remote recording services for musical artists, bands, and events. It started with a modest setup of 2 ADAT recorders and a Digi 001 Pro Tools editing station. The name TravSonic got its inspiration from the word “Transonic”, which means flight at the speed of sound. Basically, TravSonic means audio production services done at the speed of sound. The name was officially branded in 2000 when the domain was established.
