Our service will provide you the best live orchestra sessions with an affordable price.

No need to book the whole studio and the full orchestra for the entire day !

From the first steps of preproduction, to the final step of mix and mastering, we are able to offer everything you need in order to produce a piece that sounds more then amazing.

Our Services:
Orchestration, Pre production, Music editing, Orchestra recording, Score Revision, Production Advice, Audio Editing, Mixing and Mastering, Video Recording.

The orchestra will play your music. You will be connected with zoom and audiomovers. So you will take part to the session. If needed you will also have the chance to talk directly with the conductor and the orchestra.
Then, after the session you will receive the Pro Tools session with all the material

Step 1: you book the session you need. We offer 10,20,30,45 or 60 minutes. During this first step the payment is not yet needed!

Step 2: you’ll upload the piece you want to record in our system (we will provide a link to our DropBox folder). You could send for example an Mp3, just to let us understand how is the direction of the piece.
Then you’re upload the full score (pdf).

Our artistic team will check and double check it.
If the orchestration is correct you will have the green light from our Maestro. So you’ll receive the confirmation email with a PayPal/Bank Transfer link.

Otherwise, if the orchestration need some revisions our team will work on it in order to deliver the most readable, solid and bullet proof score to the orchestra players.
Keep in mind that a live orchestra sounds way better then any digital sample library…but you need to score the music in the proper way.

Step 3: We need your “preproduction” session on ProTools. We use the latest version of Pro Tools.

If you don’t have Pro Tools or you need our help, feel free to ask. Our music editor will work on it. We need those separated stems in this exact order:

Full preproduction of the piece if you have it (a premix made with your sample libraries) – muted Woodwinds,
Brass,
Percussions,

Piano + harp,
High Strings (violini/viole) – muted Low Strings (cello/bass) – muted Synthesizer
Rhythmic Sequencers

Please put all the markers in the same exact bar on both Pro Tools and score (Sibelius/Finale/ StaffPad/Dorico). In the following examples you can see the marker A and B that are in the same exact place.

As for the score editor we do use StaffPad, Dorico, Sibelius.

 

We do have a Neve 88r. We record on Pro Tools. 24/48

Yes, of course. It-s a full buy out session. That means that you own 100% of the copyright and master rights.
