AF / The Practice

Listening Before Recording

Audio Field begins by listening to an environment before deciding where and how to record it. Conventional and unconventional techniques are used according to the subject.

Context, technical information and useful metadata are documented so each recording remains understandable and practical for professional editing and sound design.
