Live Sound (Meyer Sound Performance Hall)

Live Performance/Webcast Sessions:
A five hour session focused on a one hour Live Performance & Student Webcast Production. The performance is recorded & mixed live by our students to a CD during the show. The performance is also videotaped and webcast by our students live from the Expression Website. The band receives both a DVD copy and a media file (wmv) of the webcast on a cd after the show along with audio cd. The band may also invite up to 30 guests if they provide a typed guest list on the night of the show. Guests should be informed that they will be in a classroom, not a club.

Advanced Recording (SSL9000j Studio)

Full Band Studio Sessions - Extended Project:
Three tracking and three overdubbing sessions (eight to twelve hours each) followed by fourteen mixing sessions. Best for pro-minded groups who have previous studio experience and enough material ready for an album. Projects will be recorded, edited, and mixed in ProTools. The students will work on the project from basic tracks through a final mix*. The band will receive a copy of the result of the students’ mixes on a CD* and if a Mac formatted external Firewire hard drive is provided, we can provide you with a copy of the ProTools session or generic audio files (wave or aiff) free of Charge.

All provided media listed above is created live by the students and subject to their performance. The band may obtain editable raw material for further production by providing appropriate media on the night of the show. A 60 Gig external Firewire hard drive is required for a copy of the 24-track digital recording (aiff files). Three 60 minute Mini-DV tapes are required for copies of the unedited camera feeds. We do not save copies of any video or audio material here after the night of the show.

Professional Services:

*Options beyond a rough mix:
For artists who obtain the master recording (analog or digital) of their sessions and wish to have their sessions professionally mixed, we can provide an excellent mixdown in our studios with one of our professional engineers at a rate of $45 per hour.

Format Transfers:

For those who would like their masters on a format other than that which we record you on, we can do format transfers/copies to ADAT, DA88, ProTools, or generic audio (wave or aiff) at a flat rate of $90 per reel, if you provide the media.
