Pete’s Candy Store is a live music venue and bar in Brooklyn, NY with performances nearly every night of the week. Through a partnership with them, I offer live, multi-track recordings of performances there with my mobile rig. Every artist recorded receives the multi-track audio files as unprocessed, unedited WAV files and rough mixes within two weeks of the performance.
If you’ve been confirmed to play a set, and are interested in having your set recorded, send me an e-mail (it’s at the bottom of your booking e-mail) or send me a message via the contact form at the bottom of this page with your detailed setup information (As detailed as possible! How many vocalists? Does your acoustic guitar or other stringed instrument plug in? How many outputs does your keyboard or synth have? What kind of outputs? No such thing as too much info!) and the time and date of your performance. You need to send me an e-mail to setup your recording!
FAQ:
Is this just a feed from the board?
No! All signals from the stage are sent to custom made balanced microphone splitters with Jensen transformers. The signals get split into two electrically independent outputs. One of which gets recorded using my studio grade pre-amps, the other output is sent to the front of house system for the audience to hear. They are electrically isolated from each other to ensure there’s no grounding or impedance issues.
Where can I hear some samples of previous recordings?
On this page below! Here’s some select tracks from the over 100 recordings I’ve done at Pete’s since 2017. All of these tracks are recorded, mixed and mastered by myself, unless otherwise noted.
Can I use these files in Logic/Reaper/Garage Band?
Yes! The multi-track audio files are time aligned, unedited, lossless wav files, so you are free to work with them in any digital audio workstation of your choice. I do supply rough mixes of each song, but with the multi-track audio files, you’re free to mix them as you wish.
I usually record with a 24 bit depth at 48kHz sample rate at minimum, but sometimes I’m feeling saucy and record at higher sample rates.
Are there any limitations to what I do with the recording?
No! You can share them, sell them, post them on social media – they’re yours to do what you like with. However, I kindly ask that wherever you share them, that you give the venue and myself credit with a social media shout out, or whatever whatever way is most appropriate.
How much does it cost?
The cost is a flat fee detailed at the bottom of your booking confirmation e-mail from Pete’s. If you’re interested in having me spend some more serious time mixing your tracks, I would be happy to do so for an extra, per song fee that varies depending on the complexity of your setup. Some acts have significantly more complicated setups than others and, natrually, would take more time to mix.
What about video?
Let me know if you’re interested in video as well! I can put you in touch with some of the videographers who created some of the fine videos below. Rates can vary based on how intricate the video setup is based on your needs, but we can get that conversation started.
