Preparation
Session times: Sunday mornings and afternoons are available for recording sessions.
Before the session: You will be contacted by your engineer a couple of days before your session. This is a good time to discuss your repertoire, what you hope to accomplish with the recording, and plan a strategy for the session. Plan on approximately 10 – 15 minutes of completed music for each hour of recording time. You should allocate a specific amount of time for each work to ensure that you are able to complete everything. For example, if you are recording two 15 minute works, you should allocate the first hour of the session to work one, and the second hour to the second one. We do not recommend that you attempt to record more than 30 minutes of music in one two-hour session.
During the session: Make sure you are fully rehearsed and prepared to perform the works in their entirety without stops and starts. Arrive at the studio about 15 minutes before your scheduled time so you can warm up. If possible, bring a trusted friend or teacher to your session to act as producer. The engineer will ask you to play while they make adjustments to the sound. They’ll record a short section and play it back for you at which point you can let them know if you want any adjustments to the sound or video shot. Once you are comfortable with the sound and video and you can begin recording. Typically you would play each work two or three times until you feel you have a good performance, then you can take a break and listen to make sure you are happy with your performance. If not, you can play the work again. Make sure to use the session time efficiently so you can complete everything.
Recording engineers are not responsible for musical decisions that are made during the session.
After the Session: You will receive an email with links to the audio and video files within one week of your session. Please download and review your recordings immediately, Contact us at staudrec@indiana.edu if there are any problems.
If your recording requires post-production (editing and/or mixing) make arrangements directly with your engineer (remember, we will not make edits in recordings for auditions, applications, or competitions).
