Choir recording session, Sheboygan

The approach

“Allow the technology to disappear from the music making.”

Every session is engineered to preserve the natural acoustic of the room, the full dynamic range of the performance, and the tonal character of the instruments. The goal is transparency.

That means choosing the right microphone placement for the space, not fighting the room. It means not over-editing. It means the ensemble hears itself on playback, not a version of itself.

Sessions are run on Dante-networked signal chains with redundant recording paths. Files are archived and available for future recall.
