LIVE RECORDING

Glyndebourne opera house

There is nothing like a live recording to capture the excitement of a concert. Myles Eastwood specialises in live recording and has worked in a number of prestigious venues including Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, King's College Chapel and Glyndebourne Opera House. We have also recorded events in more unusual spaces such as the streets of Berkeley, California, country house gardens, multi-storey car parks and sports stadiums in London and Beirut. We enjoy making the most of each space through careful planning and optimum mic placement.

We offer a range of recording services, from stereo archive captures to commercial multitrack recordings. Files can be delivered as multitrack stems, mixed and mastered in postproduction or used as the basis for a studio recording with additional tracking and overdubs. We can also record prior rehearsals and produce patch sessions if the client wants extra material for the final edit.

We are well equipped for location recording. Our microphone locker includes matched pairs of Sennheiser MKH8040s and MKH8020s, Neumann KM183s, KM184s and KM185s, beyerdynamic MC930s, Microtech Gefell M930s and beyerdynamic M160 ribbon mics. We also have a decent collection of modern and vintage large diaphragm mics, dynamic mics and several Jensen transformer-equipped DI boxes by Radial Engineering. 

Alongside mics and preamps, we offer a wide selection of ancillary gear including mic stands, stereo bars and clamps by K&M, DPA and Manfrotto, and various hanging cable solutions that allow discreet mic placement for TV broadcasts and video sessions. We use custom-made fibre optic cable runs and analogue multicore reels by Canford Audio and Argosy, and run multitrack backups to ensure total reliability.
