Services
1.
Acoustic Music Recording
Sessions take place in concert halls and churches. Musicians are often seated in a circle around a central array. Balance and tone are set during their sound check: a small move of the microphone, or a chair, does the work an equaliser would do later. The array is placed for the balance between the instrument and the hall. Distance and angle decide how direct the sound is, and how much of the room comes with it
2.
Post-Production
Editing is done in Copenhagen. Takes are chosen and joined with the same attention as the session. What remains is level and edits, not of correcting of the sound. The sound was set in the hall
3.
Mastering
A short last stage: level, format, the album as a whole. Not a second production. Little is added, because the recording is already close to the release
4.
Dolby Atmos Music Studio
Calibrated and measured on site by Dolby. Used fpr post-production, not for sessions. Stereo and immersive versions come from the same location recording, not from a rebuild in the box
About
3C Sound is Daniel Davidsen’s studio in Copenhagen. The three C’s - Classical, Contemporary, Crossover describe the work: standard repertoire, living composers, and projects that sit between genres or formats.
The name is also the method: Creativity, Collaboration, and Clarity.
Recordings are made on location in concert halls and churches. One engineer takes the project from the microphone array to the master, including large orchestral productions. Musicians are often placed in a circle around the array, so that what is captured in the room is already close to the released sound.
The Copenhagen Studio is a Dolby Atmos Music Studio, aligned by Dolby, used for post-production
