SOFTWARE

Modern digital recording allows unprecedented engineering flexibility.  The right software in experienced hands facilitates quick and seamless edits, and makes the process of sound capture and mixing a pleasure. There are countless creative possibilities.

Pianorecording.co.uk has an Apple G5 running Cubase SX3: a system fast enough to never hold up the working process.  This allows studio time to be focussed on the artist and the recording rather than on glitches and fixes.  Once a good mic set-up has been achieved, the time is yours to play and record to your heart’s content.

About Altiverb:

Altiverb is a relatively new and very exciting reverb program.  Imagine your piano recording being staged in a famous concert hall, or in smaller auditoria, famous recording studios’ live rooms, or even in the rooms of European stately homes.  Well now that is possible with Altiverb.  Actual samples of the reverberation of acoustic spaces are applied to your recording.  The “effect” is absolutely convincing because the reverb being triggered is real.  Goodbye to nasty digital reverbs that only ever sounded passable on piano recordings.  And farewell to having to hire famous concert halls to get the right ambience. 

You can visit the Altiverb Site to learn for yourself about their visionary technology.
