Live Concert Recording

WE CAPTURE
THE PERFORMANCE.

From a string quartet in a village church to a full orchestra in a concert hall, we place microphones before the audience arrives and leave with a recording that sounds like the room. Minimal processing. Maximum transparency.

The Setup

We use high-quality condenser microphone arrays, designed around the acoustic profile of your venue. Every placement decision is made with your hall in mind, not a template from the last job.

Up to 24 inputs · Stereo & surround · Multi-channel

The Session

We arrive early, work quietly, and stay out of the way of your rehearsal. On the day of the concert, you will not notice we are there. We monitor in real time throughout and flag anything that needs a retake before you leave the hall.

On-site monitoring · Live mix · Multi-track capture · Discreet setup

The Delivery

Edited, mixed and mastered files delivered to your specification. Broadcast-ready, streaming-ready, or label-ready, whichever the project requires. Typical turnaround two to four weeks.

Editing & mixing · Mastering · Label delivery

The Process

HOW IT WORKS.

01

PRE-SESSION CONSULTATION

We talk through the venue, the repertoire and your intended use for the recording. That conversation shapes every decision that follows.

02

MICROPHONE PLACEMENT

We visit the venue in advance where possible, or arrive early on the day. Placement is designed around the specific acoustic of the space.

03

RECORDING

Multi-track capture throughout the session. We monitor in real time and flag anything that needs a retake before you leave the hall.

04

EDITING & POST-PRODUCTION

We edit the raw session into a complete recording, handle noise reduction where needed, and mix to a natural, transparent result.

05

DELIVERY

Final files delivered in your required format. We are available for revisions and happy to liaise directly with your label or distributor.

06

REVISIONS & SIGN-OFF

We share a draft edit for your review and incorporate any changes before final delivery. We are available throughout the process and do not disappear after the session.
