Audition Special
Designed for Students & Competitions
Service Description
An all-inclusive audition special designed specifically for students and musicians preparing competition or audition submissions. You’ll have access to our professional studio, full audio setup, and an on-site audio engineer. We follow competition and audition guidelines strictly. You will receive all audio takes. Your session includes light mixing and mastering to your satisfaction, signed off on our sound checklist. After sign-off, all further mixing and mastering is post mixing and mastering, billed separately. Video recording is included, and we will sync your selected audio take(s) to the video. Extensive post-production such as pitch correction, time alignment, heavy processing, replacing notes, or other edits that could alter the performance are not included. Use of our Steinway is available if desired. The piano is professionally tuned monthly. If you’d like a fresh tuning specifically for your recording, please request it at least 3 days in advance (tuning fee applies). Microphones will be set up to match your instrument(s) and the requirements of your submission. Our room features pan-acoustics, allowing musicians to hear natural playback with controlled reflections and warm reverb. During warm-up, we’ll adjust placement and the room response so what you hear in the space and on playback supports your sound. After your first take, we encourage you to listen back carefully and note any sections you’d like to refine—tone, balance, articulation, entrances, or musical contrast—so you can communicate clear, actionable feedback to the engineer. If possible, allow a little extra time beyond your reserved session so you don’t feel rushed. A calm pace supports your best performance and helps ensure you leave with a submission you feel confident about.
