Comedy specials aren’t just about recording the performer, but the audience in the room with them. Using zoned micing techniques to capture a large audience is essential. With discrete multitrack recordings of every microphone there is a ton of flexibility in post to bring a polished sound to any comedy special.
Location Sound Mixer Henri Rapp Provides Unique Sound Solutions
Location Sound For Performance Videos
Musical performance videos have become an incredibly popular way for brands to market themselves, but getting a studio quality sound on location can be extremely difficult. When working with celebrity talent that will get millions of views, it’s imperative things go right the first time; There is no time for trouble shooting or to make mistakes costing the client money and burning through a limited time slot available with the artist. This is the reason Henri Rapp Recording often gets brought in for specialty projects like this. One such shoot in 2018, we travelled to Nashville, TN to do 140+ performance videos at the George Jones Museum with several Grammy Winning Artists and several up and coming country artists. From solo musicians to full bands, a ton of content recorded in an incredibly short 3 shooting days.

For years Henri Rapp also produced many of the videos in the “Live From Bad Racket Recording Studios” series. While a bit different then a performance on location, every video brought album quality audio to live performances in the studio.
