Recording Services Policies
*Multicam is available in Voertman and Lab West for an additional $75 fee. Livestreams are available in every hall for an additional $75 fee. All services requested must be paid for in ScheduldeFM at the time of booking your recital date at least 3 weeks in advance. *The events above receive Standard Recording at no addtional cost. *Standard recital recording is available for a $50 fee, Multicam and Livestream are additional charges on top of the $50 fee. Turn Around Time is within the week or less and will show online through the Archive portion of this site. Check the recording for any technical issues, and please let us know as soon as possible. We hold the raw recording materials to re-edit from for only 2 weeks after your event each semester. We have a killer 99.99% success rate. On average we miss 1 concert of about 600 a year due to scheduling or student worker mistakes, and with our automation systems we shouldn't ever miss one. However if a recital is missed due to a mistake on our end we offer a refund for any added services and credit towards a future recital or session. We always recommend running a recorder in the hall, both for redundancy and practice for the future. Jazz recitals are recorded using a variety of studio-grade microphones, direct boxes, pre-amplifiers and digital converters. With the available time before the recital we ensure all microphones are placed correctly, to capture the instrument accurately, and discreetly so as not to disturb the audience or musicians sight-lines. We record between 8 and 16 channels depending on the ensemble. Afterwards, the recital is mixed and edited by a professional staff engineer. For our multritracking services you must correspond with our Lead Recording Technician or email us at recordingservices@unt.edu at least 2 weeks prior to accomadate staffing needs and resources. If this coordination does not take place you will downgraded to a stereo pair recording, and informed 2 weeks prior to your event. We do offer multitracking options for non-degree jazz recitals with an additional cost. Please reach out to us via email to review your options. The more information we have about a recital the easier it is for us to plan and staff the event. Some things we like to know: This is a live recording and not a studio session, and there are limitations to what can be done afterwards. We can adjust some balance between mics, but mics will hear other sources ("bleed") and limit how much adjustment can be made before it becomes noticeable. Due to limited staffing we are not able to provide multitrack production on weekend recitals. Unless special permission has been approved. Mixing and editing is completed 3 to 5 business days after your event and tracks will be available for download from the archive after that. Multi-track files are available upon request through OneDrive. In order for you to download your event from the archive, please contact us with your NAME, DATE OF RECITAL and EUID.
You will have access to download the event once it is edited and will be available below your entry in the Archive. To Download Conductor Camera footage from our Winspear events please follow the link to Conductor Camera Footage
This Fall semester starting August 19 and going through October 1, UNT Recording Services will be offering select recording sessions to all music students of interest. We will be holding recording sessions in your hall of choice pending availability in the College of Music and will provide all equipment for professional multitracking audio and video recording and will also have a post production package available. Prices are subject to change per project and packages selected. All projects MUST be pre-approved by Recording Services. If you are interested in recording a session you will first need to reach out to Recording Services at recordingservices@unt.edu and set up a meeting to discuss your project details (i.e. length, instrumentation, deadlines, etc). Projects are billed on an hourly rate
All Sessions must be pre-approved by Recording Services *prices subject to change per project* UNT retains ownership of the master recording for recordings we make. Our license and policies to use those recordings are divided up between ensemble recordings, and recital/session recordings. The College of Music's policy on ensemble recordings is that clips be posted on the official Youtube channel, or any other official account, and pass through a set of approvals and permissions. For example, ensemble directors approve, and any guest artists must approve with a formal release given prior to the performance. Some exceptions are made, such as students performing concertos or conductor cameras. Always ask us prior to posting ensemble concert footage or run the risk of takedowns. Paid downloads of an ensemble performance gives you the license to keep and watch the recording for personal use, but not to redistribute the recording publicly. Please fill out the form here to request for a performance exclusively from our large ensemble performances in Winspear to be uploaded to our official YouTube channel. Our upload process can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. Request Form
If you are the primary musician in the recital you have permission from the department to post and distribute your recital recording, audio and video, as you wish. We advise you to follow all musical copyrights and artist permissions before posting recordings. Please keep in mind that musical copyrights for publicly posting or distributing recordings are NOT covered by the university.
