Description of Recording Services:
Using a laptop and a small rack of gear, a low-impact recording system is set up at concert venue’s to make a studio-quality multi-track recording of live music performances. Each instrument is mic’d and recorded separately using studio microphones and techniques. These tracks are mixed later in the industry-standard program Pro Tools, with careful attention payed to the blend of clean instrument tracks and gritty live sound from the audience and ambience mics around the venue. The result is a professional live album, produced for a fraction of the cost of any of the live albums it would stand up against.

Concert sound recording can be the most challenging environment for a sound engineer, if done correctly the listener will feel that they are an audience member of an exciting musical performance. For a good sounding concert recording a careful combination of microphone placement, equipment selection and timing are crucial. In some instances it is possible to obtain a better recording from a live show than from hours of work in a recording studio.
The energy of the performers and the sound of the crowd combine to make an amazing recording. What a great alternative to an expensive and lengthy process of making an album! Just get a live recording!
The final product is still mixed in the industry-standard program Pro-Tools, with careful attention payed to the blend of clean instrument tracks and gritty live sound from the audience and ambience mics around the venue, concert hall, or bar.
In some cases there can even be “fixes” or overdubs performed after the show to get another shot at a solo or flubbed moment. All the same microphones and techniques are used in the live music recording process as would be used in the recording studio, but now you can do it cheaply and quickly!
