Making a great sounding and looking Brass CD really is a specialist skill and technically very demanding. Setting up in the venue, the choice of microphones, managing the session to cover any mistakes, balancing the percussion with the band, editing and mastering and then producing quality artwork. All these all require skill and experience and while there is a temptation to try the do-it-yourself approach ( which committee likes spending any money?) you need to have someone with skill and experience to make the best out of your recording session.

Over the years we we have made some great brass band recordings with bands such as Barton Town Band, Bon Accord, EYMS, Haverhill, Clacton On Sea, and Trinity Brass to smaller bands like Portishead, Swinton, Bakewell and Sandleheath right down to small village bands such as Leyburn and Reeth Brass in the Dales.

The mobile is constantly updated with latest in digital recording technology and the finest microphones but it is our 20 years experience that guarantees you will get a great result. We provide a complete service from the recording and editing to artwork design and layout and CD duplication and our CD package deals represent the best value for money available today.

For any brass band recording the choice of venue is crucial and we hear lots of CDs where the end result is spoiled by the choice of a poor venue. After 20 years experience we know what makes a good sounding venue and will advise you on the choice of location and a list of great tips to get the best result from your recording session and we have put together a short video to show a recent brass session.

The choice of venue is vital in getting a good sound and clicking on the image to the right you can view a video of a recent recording session with Barton Town Band. The sharp eyed among you will spot that it is edited from a couple of different pieces but the point is to show you that you need a good sounding space to start with. If you are considering making a recording take some photos on a digital camera and email them to me.
