Concert sound recording can be the most challenging environment for a sound engineer, if done correctly the listener will feel that they are an audience member of an exciting musical performance. For a good sounding concert recording a careful combination of mic placement, equipment selection and timing are crucial. In some instances it is possible to obtain a better recording from a live show than from hours of work in a recording studio.

The energy of the performers and the sound of the crowd combine to make an amazing recording. What a great alternative to an expensive and lengthy process of making an album! Just get a live recording!

The final product is still mixed in the industry-standard program Pro-Tools, with careful attention payed to the blend of clean instrument tracks and gritty live sound from the crowd mics at the back of the venue.

In some cases there can even be “fixes” performed after the show to get another shot at a solo or flubbed moment. All the same microphones and techniques are used in the live music recording process as would be used in the recording studio, but now you can do it cheaply and quickly!
