Recording with Us

As your record takes shape we’ll partner you up with an engineer and session producer specialised in capturing your music, whether its choral or instrumental, ensemble or solo.

We can help recommend rehearsal and recording spaces optimised for capturing your acoustic, and help book with discount rates offered to us. We provide the equipment and handle the setup so you can focus on live performance.

You can expect our engineers and producers to interactively make recommendations to fine-tune the best possible audio range and balance but leave the artistic decisions to you.

Film featurettes add huge emotional and commercial value to your record, letting audiences engage with your music and get to know you as artists.

We can help pair you up with a videographer who will be on hand during recording to capture scenes which will be edited together with the mastered audio.

We can also guide you in scripting interviews and behind the scenes footage on the day while remaining unobtrusive to recording the audio.

Once recording is over and mastering is underway we’ll pair you up with an expert creative director who will guide you in designing amazing artwork for your record.

We’ll discuss your artistic vision and what ideas inspire you to create concepts for cover art and themes for booklet content. You can bring your own photography and content or we can help whatever your budget to commission new cover and artist photography and to help prepare your content.

You’ll also be given an outline marketing and PR plan for once your record is in production. We’ll give guidance on all the ingredients of a commercially successful record including how and when to launch, where to market your record, which media to pitch to and where to invest in promotion and publicity if you choose to. We’ll also take the lead getting your record in front of the big music publications and broadcasters and getting your music seen and heard online.

We typically aim to get artists finished artwork and studio masters to production on the same day so you’ll take possession of your record about two weeks later.

On complex recordings where editing and mastering takes extended time or for example where we’re shooting and retouching album photography we’ll bring creative or engineering deadlines forward working back from the planned record launch date.

Our engineers and editors take great care mastering our artists records and every audio detail is painstakingly reviewed in over several passes to produce an exceptional studio master. Where we make recommendations to produce a natural, definitive sound, we give you complete control on how much or little editing and mastering is done, and review high resolution audio with you before we sign off the final master.

Once you’ve approved the master and the creative we proof both and our producers oversee the production and pressing of your record and queue it to you for delivery to you.

Ahead of our agreed launch date we do the hard work putting your record into all the online distributors and pitching it to physical distributors to put in high street stores around the world.

We’ll also get review copies in front of key media and start actioning our marketing plan for the disc. Typically we retain a number of discs and also high res audio for digital downloads made available to buy direct through Convivium Records, and we’re here to help you get setup selling the disc through your own channels online and offline.

The record launch is the end of the production process and the start of the life journey of your album where we are here to give as much or as little support as you need as artists to sell and market your record.
