Location Recording

EMRR began as a location recording service in 1993. I have produced many recordings at locations of the artists choosing, including rehearsal spaces, nightclubs, living rooms, churches, and complete concert tours. I use high quality transformer coupled mic splitters when needed, which can be essential for good isolation from PA systems in live recording. Equipment necessary to do remote recordings has generally gotten a lot more compact and easy to take on location, what with changes in technology over the years since I've started. Please inquire if you think this might be the best option for your project.
