Live Concerts

Live concerts are often extremely challenging for recording companies because in addition to the usual challenges involved in correctly capturing both the music and the acoustic, a live concert brings in a whole new dimension – other people!

To overcome many of these challenges we have designed a great deal of equipment that has been handmade to our specifications. This enables us to place microphones in the optimum location to capture a sound that brings together the atmosphere of the live concert whilst maintaining the properly balanced sound which today’s audiences expect.   As with all of our recordings we use tried and tested multiple micing techniques that we developed over a period of four years before we ever undertook our first commercial recording. 

Prior to undertaking a recording we will always survey the venue if it is somewhere we have not been previously. It is also imperative that we are able to attend a planning meeting with the venue to discuss where microphones can be located and equally importantly where we can set up our rig.
