Click on any of the questions below to jump to the answer:
* A space or room of at least 2M x 3M and a large table for us to set up the equipment, at maximum 30 M from the performers. * 1 Standard 240V mains supply socket within 15M of recording space. * A backstage pass if required - usually at live performances. * Contact details of any sound and/or lighting engineers if at a live performance. * Access to recording space 2 - 4 hours prior to recording session. * Musical scores, pre-recorded reference material etc. See Question 3.
* It's also handy if you can supply us with a professionally pre-recorded CD (preferred) or cassette of the pieces to be recorded. This enables us to reference the pre-recorded material during mix-down & editing after the session. * If you supply us with audio materials it will be returned with your finished master recording.
* Directions to the venue where the recording will take place. * Start and finish times (including up to 2 hours of breaks) of the session. * Pieces to be recorded (title & composer) and relevant instruments/vocalists that will perform them. * Number of performers in each musical section (i.e. strings, brass, percussion etc). * A diagram or photo of the room (noting windows, doors, stage, power points, spectators etc) with rough dimensions of where recording will take place. * A diagram of how the orchestra / choir (including conductor) will be laid out within the room. * Information of any other rooms (maximum 30 meters from performers), where a 'control room' may be set up.
* Try to find a room in which you like the sound of your performances. Try to avoid long narrow rooms or square rooms as these generally have bad acoustic properties. * Please also try to avoid rooms with high voltage or neon lighting systems, rooms with air conditioning, rooms near noisy roads or airports or rooms with any other sources of uncontrollable noise. . * If you are recording live you may want some crowd 'ambience' included as this improves the feel of live recording - we cannot edit this out completely if you don't want it - tell your audience to keep quiet during performances!
* An initial rough mix of the performance on cassette either after the recording session or the next day. * A production copy of the final mix before a master is produced and any duplication takes place (if requested) - this copy has to be approved by you before a master is produced or any duplication takes place. This will be received 2 - 7 days after the session. * Further approval copies if the original production copy is not approved. * A final master copy on a digital format of your choice - CD-R, Minidisk or DAT. You will receive this 1-2 days after approval of the production copy.
