Live recording- Bob Dean

(a post by AlicjaS)

Hallo All!

Here, at Guerilla Sound Lab we believe in live music; one of the audio recording services we provide is location multi-track recordings for unsigned artists. The latest performance, we had the pleasure to record, took place in The Roadhouse in Manchester.

We have recorded and mixed a Manchester based band Bob Dean. We have made this recording in close cooperation with students of BSc Professional Sound and Video Technology, University of Salford, Media City UK, and this is how we did it;

There are many ways in which a live performance can be captured. Read the full post »

Shooting ‘Saint Dracula’


(A post by Ian Williams)

I was lucky enough to work as a boom operator on a shoot for 3D horror film- Saint Dracula, directed by Rupesh Paul

This is a micro-diary of my time there:

The film is being made using a state-of-the-art 3D camera. I was involved in the production of Saint Dracula for one week, but the sheer size of the project made me feel like I had been a part of it for a lot longer.

Location Recording Survival Guide

Most common problems on location:

  • Background noise
  • Traffic, aeroplanes
  • Presence of the public on the set (loud, misbehaving)
  • Wind/weather
  • Radio microphones problems: clothes rubbing, mics. receiving different signals on your frequency (like taxi’s etc…)
  • Lights (electric hum)
  • Air condition (hum)
  • Power supply!!!!!(take spare batteries, few kinds of plugs)

Solutions:

  • Take your whole kit (even if you’re not going to need it)
  • DUCK TAPE!!! (gaffer tape, taupe tape))- take it every where!
  • Toolkit (torch, tape, elastic bands and clips, multi-tools, knife etc…)
  • Try to record good sound, don’t count on the ‘notch’ EQ-ing in post production (taking out a frequency with a narrow band) Read the full post »
