  • 1.  Recorded Performance tracks

    Posted 12-12-2016 13:18

    Hi everyone,

    We don't have the capability to use an orchestra at our school so we use prerecorded tracks for our musicals. Last year, I used a company that charged almost $800.  Do any of  you know of/work with companies that provide this resource for less money?

    Thanks!

    Have you tried having the band record the music. It can provide for collaboration between the departments as well as however technical you want to get with editing. You could also try for a local college.

    Hello,

    Depending on the show you are doing we can work with you on price and save you a few hundred dollars hopefully. You can request a bid at: Right On Cue Services - Request Bid

    Thank you,

    Thanks! I'll check them out!

    I'll also talk to the band director and see what they think about a collaboration.

    It depends on the show and the licensing agent.  800 is a pretty good price.  The two big companies I know that do tracks are MTPit and ROC.  Some shows come with tracks for the price of the show.  TRW has several and MTI has some.   And most prices for tracks sure are cheaper than hiring musicians.
