Live (Stereo) and Studio (Multitrack) Recording

We can record any live performance on DAT, CDR, minidisc or (if you insist on it) on compact cassette. Please note that this method will not produce release-quality recordings.

We can also provide multitrack recording facilities. At the time of writing these are:

Digital

We can provide multitrack recording (using a Lexicon Omega audio interface and Cubase LE) direct to our laptop computer. Facilities include:

• Time synchronisation and click-track/guide track;

• Up to 24 channels;

• Simultaneous recording on up to 4 channels;

• Full MIDI interface;

• Comprehensive processing, editing and effects.

Analogue

We are digital converts (we think modern professional digital recording equipment represents real-life sounds more accurately than analogue equipment ever did), and the recording industry has overwhelmingly "voted with its feet" in favour of this view.

However, for anyone who still wants to get those "vintage" analogue sounds, we own a (serviced, fully functional) Fostex R8 8-track reel-to-reel multitrack recorder. Facilities include:

• Time-code synchronisation (requires one track);

• Simultaneous recording on up to 8 channels;

• Drop-in and overdubbing.

Replacement tapes are becoming harder to source, so the continued availability of this recorder cannot be guaranteed.

We can mix down to DAT, CD, minidisc, or compact cassette.

Our prices for this are very low, and as well as a recording engineer can include any or all of our microphones, effects units & processors. Materials (DATs, blank CDs, minidiscs, or compact cassettes) are not included. We can supply these to order: please speak to us about your requirements.

If you can provide the event, we can provide the equipment & the expertise.
