Topic: How We Edit the Audio
of Live Concerts
This is a hands-on meeting of
BAS members who have years of experience in recording
and editing live concerts. Hands-on because we will
demonstrate via computer how we do it. None of us
purport to be highly paid or the best audio recording
engineers; some of us work for little or no fee.
Our goal is to provide our audience a quality reproduction
of the concert with little or no alteration of the
sound. Most of our recordings are for the orchestras
board and members. Utilizing some of our software/hardware,
we will answer several questions often asked by
potential recording engineers.
1) What equipment do you
use
2) How much time/space/sound to provide between
movements
3) What audio editing software do you use
4) Describe the loudspeaker/headphones you
use to monitor
5) If you had an unlimited amount of money,
what equipment would you recommend
6) Do you recommend high bit rate recordings
above 16 bits and 44-kHz
7) How much audio compression should be used
8) How much EQ should be applied
9) How do you handle
audience noise, squeaking chairs, furnace and air
conditioners
10) How to place
microphones for different large/small groups
11) Typically, what
is the maximum number of mics you employ
12) How much clipping or overload do you permit
while recording
Refreshments will be available
