Overview

Our hall is perfectly suited for recording solo classical, chamber ensemble, smaller jazz groups, or singer/songwriter and acoustic acts. We are equipped to record up to 24 channels of reference quality audio either live in concert or in a closed studio session.

We also have three robotic cameras that shoot Full HD video, all operated from our control room. These are ideal for concert capture or audition video recordings. If you are in need of a more complex video project we are also equipped to bring in extra cameras and help you create a studio-style music video.

Whether it’s a live concert or a studio session we are able to live stream to YouTube, Twitch, or Facebook using our robotic camera system. Your concert or presentation could be viewed from anywhere in the world and open you up to a much larger audience.
