REMOTE RECORDING
In addition to recording at the major Hollywood studios, Sara can also record your flute tracks directly for you from her home studio through the method of REMOTE RECORDING.
What is
remote recording?
If you are a composer, fellow instrumentalist, a vocalist or music enthusiast and you want to include one or more flute tracks to your creative projects, Sara can record for you from her home studio!
This is how it works:
- Send a file either via Pro Tools or a WAV file of the score or a mock-up
- Send the music of the flute part(s) to be recorded by Sara, or you can have Sara create her own parts for your project or adapt what is in your mock-up. Sara could be your soloist, principal flutist or your entire flute section!
- The recording of the flute parts will be done in a dry room so that you will have a clean, clear recording to which you can add your own reverb or manipulate the sound in any way from the dry, clean initial version.
- Sara will send you the sample(s) early via Drop Box or WeTransfer, for example, in the format and sample rate you designate, and you can begin listening.
- Any desired changes or revisions are most welcomed. Sara wants your project(s) to be perfect and will happily make the revisions you want and will send the newly revised cues back to you promptly for review and approval.
FLUTES
AUDIO SAMPLES
All flute tracks are recorded and delivered clean and dry (unless otherwise specified). This is so the composer can manipulate the sound in any way they want to. Here are several examples with some reverb added to originally dry, clean tracks.
