Archival Recording

Most live recording is done on an archival basis that is to say that the recording is being made on behalf of and with the explicit consent of both the performers on stage and the concert venue. Such recordings are not for commercial release but are intended for the sole use of the performers and the concert promoters. The microphones we use will not be invisible but we aim to be discreet and their presence should in no way spoil the audience's enjoyment of the event. We always use the rehearsal on the day as a balance test and to finalize microphone positions and stage layout, though as part of an archive recording the rehearsal is never recorded. As part of our fixed price archival recording packages we also edit the concert to remove excessive pauses etc to produce a finished stereo recording on CD-R within a few of days of the concert. This includes 5 copies on CD-R for Artistic Staff.
