Recording Art Music
Blog Summary Widget
If you google “audio recording” or “recording music” or some other such phrase you’ll probably find an unending list of techniques for electric guitars, drum set, electric bass and lead vocals. That’s where I started, and I still love recording the four piece rock band.
But it’s hard to convey just how much wider the world of recording is when it comes to art music. The diversity of tones from the various “classical” instruments, the styles, variety of ensembles, the rooms and halls that give space to the music...
Art music seems almost infinitely deeper than pop when I think about it from a technical (recording) perspective. And though it’s no surprise that general public interest will lean in favor of American Idol, we’re still writing this blog for the (very) few folks who are interested in recording art music. You might be a high school band or choir director - or a student. Maybe you’re getting ready to make a recording for grad school admissions. The elusive art music lover may be found in even more surprising places, too.
It is here, at the penny-pinching state university level, that our blogging takes place. We record student and faculty events, and the spring semester is our busiest. So why not document it? Please join us this semester for a trip to EVERY SINGLE RECITAL on the schedule and see why we dig recording art music! Oh yeah, and please leave comments and forward this site to anyone who might be interested. Thanks! - Justin and Tom, Murray State University
