The Butler School of Music Recording Services department provides audio recording, editing and mastering for ensemble concerts, faculty and student recitals and sessions as well as live sound reinforcement when necessary. We also provide video production services for all performances in all locations. We produce high-quality professional recordings that can be used for competitions, scholarships and auditions.
The Recording Department staff includes one full-time recording engineer/manager, free-lance engineers from the Austin community and skilled student workers. Part-time recording staff do not keep regular hours. They are only on campus when scheduled to work. All requests and questions are to be directed to the Recording Services Manager, not to part-time staff.
Recordings are provided for archival use only. Any future sharing and/or broadcasting may be subject to copyright laws. Please contact the publisher for more information.
Facilities
In addition to our three performance halls (Bates Recital Hall, Jessen Auditorium and the Recital Studio), the Recording Department has three control rooms and a live room for studio-quality recordings. We have an extensive collection of both new and vintage recording/video gear, and the ability to produce professional sounding recordings and high-quality video.
