Welcome Linda Spevacek

This afternoon Dan was on-location in Tempe recording a "Talent Day" performance by students of vocal coach Linda Spevacek.

This was the first test run of our new recording rig featuring our Millennia Media HV3D-8 Microphone Pre-Amplifiers, Mytek Digital 8x192 ADDA converters, Nuendo 3.2 and our new Tascam DV-RA1000HD. The new setup sounds amazing and will allow us to make even better recordings for our clientele.

Recording and WebCast with American Bach

Today Dan and the team were on-location at All Saints Episcopal Church in Phoenix, Arizona for American Bach's annual Good Friday performance. This year’s performance featured The Passion According to St. Matthew under the direction of Scott Youngs.

This year we took on the added roll of webcasting the entire performance. While this was mostly an experiment to see if anyone would watch, it was received with great success as we had a consistent audience of about 50 viewers, some from as far as England!!!!!! With any luck next year we will be able to expand the service and provide multiple cameras and a higer quality audio feed to the viewing audience.
