The Live room
The
live room is a stunning live recording area with all wooden
floors and and very high ceilings. This Live room can be
utilized from 3 separate studios. Drums sounds are fantastic,
the room its self is big enough to fit 100 people, so a small
orchestra or medium sized choir is no problem at all. Superb
acoustic design allow instruments to sound full and rich
avoiding the common "tinny ness" of amateur recordings. There are
enough inputs to record an entire live band and up to two
separate isolation booths provide enough separation to record
guitar cabinets while recording drums next door. Many a
professional recording has been captured in this room, some have
claimed it to be be best sounding live space in Cape Town. Due
to the immense size of the Live room, workshops and lectures can
take a new form by incorporating large format practical lessons
like drum recording and live band recording. The room is
complete with mic stands, mobile reflectors and absorbers as
well as the store room where the microphones are kept. The
College has a large range of professional microphones including
valve and condenser mics, than can be booked out from the store
manager and used for any kind of audio production. A big
room with a lot of warmth but remember to please protect the
floor.
