One of the really great things I get to do in the studio is to record a number of outstanding classical singers. These recordings range from full CD’s to audition tapes and demos. Many of these singers are highly trained and super talented so it is a real pleasure to capture this talent .
Since even the largest room here at the studio (and most studios throughout the world) is not even close to creating a concert hall ambience we use the legendary Sony DRE-777 Sampling Reverb (no longer in production) to create the proper ambience. This unit uses samples from great halls all over the world to create an incredibly realistic sonic environment. Better yet-after the recording is done we can experiment with different halls and pick the perfect hall to compliment a singer’s voice.
Some of the great singers we have recorded include:
Rebbeca Cook Carter
John Blizzard
Ruth Deboer
Jane Dillard
Cynthia Farbman
Lucy Owen Hoyt
Chris Cameron
Jeff Price
Craig Estep
