PLASA Show's Stage to Studio: Recording a Live Band

Stage to Studio is this year's exciting new feature at PLASA Show, where a live band will be recorded in front of an audience by a renowned sound engineer.

Staged jointly with Sound On Sound and Headliner Magazine, these professional sessions will run from 3:00pm on Sunday, September 15, and Monday, September 16, revealing what it takes to get the best recording from a live performance.

With the engineer's digital audio workstation displayed above the stage and live commentary, the audience will learn top level techniques for capturing high quality sound from the stage. This will include microphone choices and placements, step-by-step mix decisions, and how to maximize multi-track recordings.

Following the sessions, the audio stem files will be made available and a competition will open. A team of experts will then pick the best mix and the winner will receive an exclusive professional audio prize.

The artists performing live for Stage to Studio are two highly acclaimed emerging artists. VC Pines delivers a blend of alternative soul, poetry and punk. He has garnered the support of BBC Radio's Steve Lamacq, Lauren Laverne, Chris Hawkins, Huw Stephens, and Cerys Matthews, as well as Clash Magazine, Headliner Magazine, Atwood Magazine, and Fred Perry Subculture.

Effie was crowned NME emerging artist 2018 and has gained support from BBC Radio 1's MistaJam and DJ Target, Capital XTRA, and KISS as well as Clash and Notion magazines. She lent her vocals to "Body Talk" by dance duo Just Kiddin and wrote and sang on "3 Words" by FooR. She has also earned over one million Spotify plays.

They will be mixed by sound engineer Simon Todkill who has worked with the likes of Kanye West, Matt Corby, Hiatus Kaiyote, Charli XCX, Movement, and The Griswolds, earning him numerous gold and platinum album credits. These include Kanye West's 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Matt Corby's ARIA Song Of The Year "Brother."
