FAQ

About piano recordings and concert recordings

Is there anything I need to prepare before making an inquiry?

It's okay if the details aren't decided yet. If possible, the consultation will go smoothly if you organize the schedule, performance organization, recording time, desired plan if it is a piano recording, etc.

How many songs can I record with the package plan?

For concerts, the recording time is 90 minutes. When recording a piano, it usually takes about 3 to 4 performances until a satisfactory take is recorded. Therefore, it is safe to prepare the number of songs that can be recorded within 1/3 of 90 minutes = 30 minutes. If you can record OK takes smoothly, you can use the full 90 minutes for recording.

What is the breakdown of the 2 hours in the package plan?

The basic pattern is 90 minutes of recording time, 30 minutes of setup and teardown, for a total of 2 hours. Extension of recording time is 1 hour / 14,300 yen (tax included).

I have no experience in recording, is that okay?

Please rest assured. There may be some anxiety when it comes to recording, but as long as you just concentrate on giving a good performance as usual, you'll be fine. We strive to create an atmosphere that allows you to relax and concentrate.

ハンマーと鍵

Can I have it tuned before recording?

STUDIO 407 If you use it at a designated studio, you can request it to be tuned by a dedicated concert tuner. Tuning costs will be charged separately (please contact us for pricing).

Is it OK to record on-site at any location?

You can record at any venue as long as it has an AC outlet, space to install a laptop and microphone stands (usually 4), and a parking lot. We can flexibly accommodate your needs, including your home, practice room, live house, hall, etc.

I have a CD with the sound I like, can I make it sound similar?

If you have a favorite sound, please let us know in advance. We will do our best to get as close as possible. Also, even if you don't have a specific CD that you like, just let us know your sound image (something like this is fine) and we will reflect it in the finished sound.

Is it possible to record songs?

There is no problem with recording live singing with acoustic accompaniment, which does not require a PA (electronic public address system). We can also accommodate pop and jazz vocals that require PA, but please contact us as we may not be able to accommodate them depending on the format.

I would like to do full-scale video shooting, but is that possible?

STUDIO 407 focuses on high-quality recording, and does not perform expensive video shooting (requiring multi-camera shooting, directing, and editing). Currently, we are limited to video recording for competition judging and Youtube.

If you would like to record video at the production level, we will work with our affiliated professional video cameraman, so please contact us separately.

What kind of work is mixing and mastering?

When recording a live performance, multiple microphones are placed in different locations with different instruments and the reverberations of the venue, and are recorded on separate tracks, but these separate audio tracks are blended into 2-channel stereo to create a musical sound. The process of putting things together is called mixing. During this process, we also remove harsh parts and adjust the degree of reverberation to create pleasant music.

Mastering refers to the editing and sound quality adjustments performed when making the sound source obtained through mixing into the final master. By eliminating adjustments and volume variations between songs, the sound quality is comparable to that of commercially available CDs, making it easier for listeners to listen.

My location is far from the metropolitan area, how far can I travel?

Since you will be traveling by car, we are based on the range that is possible for a one-day trip. I don't think it's realistic from a cost standpoint to travel such a distance that it would incur transportation costs and, in some cases, accommodation costs. Please use your judgment when creating a quote.

Please tell me the precautions for hall recording.

  1. Piano selection: The quality and tuning of the piano are very important for hall recording. Choosing the right piano is necessary, and high-end pianos such as Steinway and Bösendorfer are generally preferred. It is recommended that you choose a piano that matches the type of music and genre you are playing.

  2. Preparing the recording environment: The reverberations and acoustic environment of the hall have a significant impact on the recording results. It is important to choose an appropriate hall and carefully make acoustic adjustments and microphone placement.

  3. Professional assistance: Before recording, it is necessary to have the piano tuned by a professional piano tuner. It is also essential to have sufficient meetings and cooperation with recording engineers and producers.

  4. Performer Preparation: Performers must rehearse and be ready to perform on the day of recording. It is also important to get adequate rest to minimize fatigue and stress.

  5. Post-processing: Post-processing tasks such as editing, mixing, and mastering after recording are also important. Appropriate processing is required to improve the quality of the sound source.

It is important to keep these points firmly in mind to successfully complete a classical piano hall recording.
