Professional live session recording Switzerland

Making performance tangible

Live sessions show music in a direct recording form that conveys the playing style and expression of an artist in an undisguised way.

Live Session

For artists, bands and producers

Direct recordings of performance and interaction in sound and image

A live session is a musical recording that captures performance and interaction in real time. Artists, bands and producers use them to present unprocessed music and document performances for publication or archiving.

A good live session has a clear sound structure, a stable mix and a visual direction that makes the action comprehensible. Recording, miking and editing must be coordinated in such a way that the dynamics and expression of the performance are preserved.

OSLO STUDIOS produces live sessions with a structured process for recording, camera work, editing and mixing. Sound and image are created in our own studio or at external venues and are closely coordinated with the musical requirements.

Typical components include technical preparation, multi-track recording, camera setup, sound mixing, image editing and playout in the required formats for the web, social media or streaming platforms.

    • Briefing

      The aim, scope and line-up of the live session are defined. Questions about style, technical implementation and procedure are clarified to create a reliable basis.

    • Concept

      Based on the briefing, the setting, camera positions and recording plan are determined. Light, space and technical requirements are coordinated so that the music and performance are clearly shown to advantage.

    • Production

      Sound and image are recorded simultaneously. Camera work, miking and performance are precisely controlled to achieve an authentic and technically clean live presentation.

    • Post-production

      Editing, mixing and color correction combine image and music to create a harmonious result. Small adjustments are made for technical precision without changing the live character.

    • Finalization
