Broadcast Production
Live and Direct specializes in making broadcast quality audio productions sourced from live events.
“Live events” is a collective expression for live music performances, conferences, festivals, presentations, large or small meetings and seminars.
Once the gathered content is acquired, it is then edited and produced into a desired duration radio show using the latest digital editing software.
New technology has now made the entire outside broadcast process far easier and less expensive than it was previously.
Smaller crew sizes, digital audio compression and cutting edge portable audio devices now take the place of kilo after kilo of equipment flight cases, HGV delivery vehicles and large crews of engineers and riggers.
While this style of outside broadcast production still has a place on larger and more complex events, many more events and gatherings can now be recorded and repackaged quickly, efficiently and cost effectively with far smaller levels of manpower and equipment. Yet the end result is still a broadcast quality package, usually far exceeding the expectations of our clients.
Live and Direct provide low cost high quality facilities for virtually any kind of non-studio based audio project, both in the UK and internationally.
Live and Direct can also provide broadcast facilities for real time live linking via ISDN or portable satellite.
From a simple ISDN codec and microphone kit, though to a full live stage broadcast, Live and Direct will source the best and most cost effective means of resource provision.
Our past projects include backstage live studios at festivals, live concerts, awards ceremonies and carnivals.
Live and Direct is one of a select group of broadcast suppliers meeting the high quality threshold demanded by BBC Network radio and also by the Australian Broadcast Corporation.
