Live Band Recording
Live shows have an energy that studio sessions can't replicate. GoatHead Audio captures that energy with professional multitrack recording at your gig. We set up alongside your performance and record every channel individually so the final product has both the live feel and the mixing flexibility of a studio recording.
How Live Recording Works
We arrive before your set and set up our recording rig alongside the venue's PA system. Depending on the setup, we either split the signal from the stage mics or run our own dedicated recording mics in addition to the PA feed.
During the show, we monitor levels and ensure clean capture across all channels. After the set, we break down and take the session files for mixing. You get a live recording that sounds professional, not like it was captured on a phone from the back of the room.
What You Get
The same deliverable tiers as any GoatHead Audio session: stems, mixdown, or full mix & master. Live recordings often benefit from mixing to clean up bleed, balance levels, and remove unwanted noise between songs.
Live albums, live EPs, or even just a single standout performance from a great show. We deliver whatever scope you need.
Where We Record Live
Venues, bars, clubs, outdoor stages, house shows, festivals, private events. Anywhere in New Mexico and El Paso where you're performing. We adapt the recording setup to the venue and coordinate with the house sound engineer if there is one.
