Recording Session Continued
A typical day's recording consists of two 3-hour sessions each with a short break in the middle and a longer break between the two. This follows the stipulations laid down by the Musicians Union. However, this format does not have to be rigidly adhered to and we will always accommodate the musicians’ requirements above our own whether for shorter or longer sessions. As a guide, one 3-hour session should be sufficient for 20 minutes of finished music, assuming everything is well rehearsed in advance. Where sessions are required on more than one day we advise consecutive days, although this is not essential as we carefully map out all sessions in order to replicate exact microphone placements even after a gap of several months.
As well as all the equipment and personnel we also provide talk back systems meaning the musicians can stay in constant contact with the music producer. We can also arrange for “playback” to occur in the recording space avoiding the musical director constantly going backwards and forwards to the location where our engineers have set up the rig. Unless specifically requested we generally do not put up an “on air” type light whilst recording as this can be off putting for musicians.
Rates for recording sessions start from £500 per day.
