I have received an e-mail from RCM on how to record a concert. Here is the link, click here to read it.



IT’S NOT LIVE, BE CREATIVE!!!

Do not try to make a replica of our regular concerts. Do something that you wouldn’t be able to make on stage, it’s your virtual presentation of your successes, so make it your own way!

For example, you can decorate your instrument and position your camera in different angles for a “cool” effect. Do it your way, use your imagination. Go for it !!!
