Location Recording Services, Concert Recording, CD Production and more
Location recording services are our speciality at Ambisound, so whether is it a concert recording, a session for a cd release, or any other sound recording you would like to make, our range of services can meet your needs. Along with location sound recording, we offer a full range of services to all musicians, choirs and groups wanting to record their music and produce their own cd. This includes digital editing and mixing, audio mastering, cd design and artwork, and cd production. If you are in the position of wanting to record your own cd, but don't really know how to go about it, we can take care of the whole process for you from advising on the location and arranging the recording to producing a cd complete with a sleeve, finished to the highest professional standard. We can do this all for a very reasonable all inclusive price, with no hidden costs. We also provide a range of other sound related services including audio restoration and digital transfers and conversion between a wide range of sound formats. For more information on our wide range of services, please see the relevent sections below.
- Location Recording Services. In recent years recording technology has advanced tremendously. These days recordings of an high professional standard can be made with compact equipment in a wide variety of locations. No longer do musicians have to use a recording studio to produce a high quality recording. At Ambisound we have made many excellent recordings in a wide range of environments. Our experience has shown that many musicians perform much better in a less pressured setting than that offered by a recording studio. Of course recording studios are expensive places to operate and therefore use, as well. Through using our location recording service, musicians can save money as well as hopefully record a more natural performance.
- Concert Recording. Recording a concert comes with it's own problems, but when done well can result in a really special momento of a unique event. At Ambisound as we specialise in location recording services, we have the experience and expertise to capture the magic of a live performance. Our aim is to do this without compromising on quality or causing any interference to the performers.
- Voice-over Recording. We can comfortably undertake any spoken word or voice-over recordings at our base in East Sussex, where we have full video playback facilities, or if it's more convenient we can easily bring our mobile recording service to wherever you need.
- Digital Editing and Mixing. Using the latest digital hardware and software, along with high-grade studio outboard processors we can edit and mix your recordings to a very high professional standard. Clients are always welcome to attend mixing sessions of their recordings and are encouraged to give their input at all stages of the recording process.
- Audio Mastering. At Ambisound we have a professional mastering facility, utilising top quality analogue and digital processing to ensure your recordings are optimised to the highest fidelity prior to the manufacturing process.
- CD Artwork. Included in our service is a full professional cd sleeve design service. We can generate all the artwork, including original photography, based on your consultation, or if you have your own plans for the cd design we can help you to prepare it for the manufacturing process.
- CD Production. We have a great deal of experience in preparing recordings and artwork for cd manufacture. Our knowledge of the production process and links with the manufacturing companies ensures that your cd will be pressed to the highest standard and at a very competitive price.
- MCPS Licensing. When producing your own cd, by law, you must obtain a licence from the MCPS (Mechanical Copyright Protection Society), before your cd can be pressed. We can organise this for you and explain the issues of copyright that may relate to your project.
- Audio Restoration and Digital Transfers. We can undertake audio restoration work on old recordings transfering them to a digital format of your choice. Using state of the art digital processing we are able to clean up the sound of old vinyl or tapes to give a dramatic improvement to the sound quality and fidelity of your precious recordings. We can transfer a wide range old media including vinyl, reel to reel tape, cassettes, video, minidisc and dat to cd or dvd. We can also convert to and from most digital formats including MP3, optimised for the web or other uses.
