Brighton-based out post sound has just completed recording of one of the final shows at this year’s Great Escape Festival organised by the Barfly Group. The gig, at the Brighton Centre’s East Wing and featuring headline sets from The Magic Numbers and Captain, was packed to the rafters with around 700 audience in attendance.
out post utilised one of it’s fully tour ready Digidesign Pro Tools HD | 2 systems with two fully expanded 192s, one Digidesign PRE, three Audient ASP008 mic pre amplifiers and XTA active mic splits recording up to 26 channels. The company then provided the session data to festival sponsor, London’s X-FM, who will be broadcasting the recordings in the near future.
out post, which only started trading at the beginning of the year, worked closely with Jon Mac from The Barfly and Giles Bristow of Alstublieft Audio to secure the deal: “This is a fantastic gig for us; the Barfly and The Great Escape Festival where one of our targets when we first setup the company. The Barfly Group have an amazing reputation and The Great Escape Festival, which is now in its second year, proved to be a massive draw for music fans last year and it has only improved with age,” said Rob Speight, company director and sound engineer.
The festival featured more than 200 bands from around the world as well as local talent and international recording artists who performed across the city of Brighton on the 17th – 19th May 2007.
“At out post we are determined to offer a more complete location recording service. We don’t just provide the gear as a dry hire. We can mix down in our studio, to 5.1 surround if required, and host recorded gigs on our high bandwidth servers for fans to download the day after the show. In addition, we can also facilitate mastering and duplication if required,” Speight detailed.
