High-fidelity live audio recording

" ..... Capturing your live performance to share with the world."

Modern mobile devices shoot great footage and capture pretty good sound for social media. However, you need much higher-fidelity audio if you want to add a live EP to your merch table or put some live tracks online for streaming or download. That’s where Sound Humans can help.

​

 

Sound Humans uses a state-of-the-art Allan & Heath Avantis mixing console with a 64x64 Dante card running at 96Khz.  But what does that jargon mean?

 

Simply put, we can record up to 64 individual channels simultaneously in very high resolution. That means we can separate every drum on the kit, every vocal and instrument mic, and every DI box on the stage. Moreover, we can also put ambient microphones on the audience, ensuring a truly live feel to your recording.

Once the tracks are locked into our computer, it's your choice what happens next

Option 1 - We know that many musicians have home studios running common DAWs such as Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton, or GarageBand. To keep costs low, we are happy to supply you with your gig’s raw tracks. These high-resolution WAV files will include any compression, gates, EQ, or FX applied during your show. It should be noted that a single-channel WAV file for a one hour set is around 1 GB of data, so a typical four-piece band can easily generate over 20GB of data during a gig.

Option 2 - If you don’t feel confident mixing down your own live show, don’t worry. We have a mixing and mastering studio set up at Sound Humans HQ in Derbyshire, where we can turn your live tracks into a ready-to-go stereo mix. Whether you want just one track, a three-track EP, or an entire set, we have you covered.
