Night Owl Recording has been multi-track recording live in the Austin and central Texas area for over 20 years. We use a custom, modular recording rig that scales to any project. We come to you, where you're comfortable, to help get the best possible recording.
Night Owl's unique, modular recording system is expandable up to 40 tracks. That's right, mobile audio multi-track recording up to 40 tracks, with 40 simultaneous redundant tracks as backup. That rivals any production truck in the region!
And because we use a custom, modular design, without the expensive overhead and labor of a production truck, Night Owl Recording can deliver the same, if not better quality of a truck, at a fraction of the cost.
So, give us a HOOT! You might be surprised at the affordability of live location recording, especially alongside today's commercial recording studio rates. Combined with a high-class, high-quality rig, Night Owl makes live recording sound so sweet.
We can't wait to hear from you. 512 825 5685 or allen@nightowlrecording.com.
