Option 1: Stereo Live Gig Recording:

Why Record your gig?: A Recorded gig is perfect for keeping a record of what you sounded like at a Gig, or for pre-production purposes and depending on your performance these may work as quick demos to send to NZ On Air for New Recording Artist grant Applications.

Method: Two High Quality Large Diaphragm Condenser Mikes at the back of the Room, and/or Stereo Live Feed from the Desk (Optional: Microphone Backup)

Processing Cost**: $50 per band includes very basic Mastering and splitting up of songs so that they can be placed on a CD for playback or converted to mp3s for myspace.

Option 2: Multi-track Live Gig Recording:

Why Multitrack Record a Gig?: Depending on the bands performance on the night multi-track recording has the added bonus that the songs can be mixed to a high quality standard and therefore they can be used to make a Sellable LIVE CD for the band. These will also work well as demos to send to NZ On Air for New Recording Artist Grant Applications. What a great and cheap way to get a whole lot of Good quality Demos!

Method: All the channels from the Desk are recorded on separate tracks so that everything can be Mixed properly within a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) After the Gig. Two Large Diaphragm Condenser Mikes, and desk feed will also be recorded – this captures the crowd atmosphere as well as how it sounded to the FOH (Front of House) engineer.

Processing Cost**: $150 per band includes basic multi-track mixing in DAW as well as full Mastering of songs so that they can be placed on CD for playback for converted to mp3 for I-pod or myspace use.

** These prices are for if The Rock Factory are already doing live sound at the Gig being recorded. If we are not doing live sound at the Gig an additional setup cost of $50 applies because we would have to come out to the gig to setup the recording especially.
