Concert and Festival Recording

- We make all required royalty arrangements and payments.
- We set-up EARLY. We do a thorough sound check during your rehearsal, without disturbing your musicians or conductor. This gives us time to communicate with the festival host, time to determine the absolute best location for our microphones and time to set our recording levels. This process helps to ensure the best possible sound quality for your recording.
