We also offer music editorial by an MPSE award winning team and mix services.
Some important advantages to scoring in Australia:
-
Musicians are a total buy-out with no residuals
-
Players can overdub during the same session
-
Players can be booked in 3 or 4 hour sessions
-
A maximum of 3 x 3 hour sessions can be done in 1 day
-
If you are doing Source Connect sessions from LA the time difference means you start recording in your afternoon and finish late at night; and when you wake in the morning, the edited files are delivered and ready to mix, which takes advantage of a 24 hour work day.
Scoring During Covid:
-
Current social distancing requirements mean that players are spaced 1.5 metres apart (4ft 11")
-
All players are given their own music stand
-
Source Connect, Audio Movers and Zoom connection methods are available to join sessions from remote locations
