Recording and Performance Technology Services

Recording 

Due to increased demand for engineering time, we are currently unable to offer recording sessions.

Streaming

RPTS streams all required recitals as well as NEC concerts. Concerts are recorded, archived, and available to performers upon request.

Amplification

Engineers are available for hire to support live events in our performance halls. If amplification is needed in either a smaller room or only a smaller setup is necessary, we have portable PAs available to rent with either 2 or 4 channels.

Self-Recording, Streaming and Zoom

NEC performance halls are now equipped with self-recording/self-streaming stations. These have been put in place for students and faculty to create their own recordings and stream classes privately. All halls have a very similar setup, but not identical. Below are the instructions posted in each hall. We also schedule trainings for the uses of this gear. To set-up a training time, please email us. 

We currently are not running active office hours. If you need to borrow a hard drive from us for a self-recording in one of our halls, please email us to arrange a time to pick one up. These hard drives are intended only for the use of self-recordings on campus and are expected back within 48 hours.

Low Latency

NEC has launched low-latency rooms using an advanced software; SoundJack. Soundjack allows for real-time performance with other musicians working remotely. Below we have posted the instructions to use Soundjack on-campus in rooms with the low-latency stations.
