AUDITION RECORDINGS
$85
For a standard audition recording which includes 20-40 minutes of recording time and 30-40 minutes for editing and CD preparation, the fee is $85. We can either record in AFC or at our studio. For KSU music students & classical music in general we often suggest recording in AFC, due to the large "natural" acoustic space. In the studio, the sound is much drier. To make a recording sound like AFC more time must be spent adding reverb and mixing. In most cases it's more efficient for everyone to record in AFC.
When to record:
The easiest and quietest time to record a session in AFC is late evening preferably after a standard 7:30 pm recital. (Recording around 9 pm) You can look at the schedule here and see when we'll be working in AFC.
How the session works:
Recording:
We'll start with a brief sound check, then we start the recorder and quietly sit in the back and take notes. You can hopefully forget about us, and focus on the music. Depending on how difficult the material is, plan to make 2-3 passes of each movement or part.
Listen, Edit & Burn CD:
After recording, we can then work on editing. You'll be able to listen through and pick the sections you need. (You may already know this from having just played it.) We will then do the editing, make the CD and either have it finished right away or in some cases the next day.
If you need to spend more time either recording or editing the fee is
$65 per hour after the first 1.25 hours. (Rarely do students need additional time for a standard audition CD.)
