What will happen on a typical 1-day recording session with Plan-c?

Sometime around 9am… 

Martin drives out to your rehearsal room with a bootfull of gear.

You meet him, hands are shook and doors are unlocked.

Martin starts to set up the gear, mics and stands while the kettle boils and the rehearsal space warms to a point above freezing.

10am

We start to sound check the band. This can take ages as we adjust the mics, arrange sound baffles and generally get the best sound we can.

 This is where the real work gets done by the recording engineer. Time spent here will pay huge dividends later.

 Maybe Noon…

The band play their songs and Martin records them.

We’ll do a couple of re-takes as the backing singers giggled over the first one and then the drummer broke a stick over the second take.

We might get 3 songs done if you’re well practiced and slick

4pm

The lead and backing vocalists will probably need to re-record their tracks and perhaps patch up some dodgy bits.

6pm

Martin’ll probably burn off a (very rough) mix for you to take home.

We pack up and go.

Later still…

Martin takes the raw recordings and mixes them into a more polished set of tracks on another day and sends them to you in the post.
