How to book time in the Recording Studio as a Exchange Application Student

How much free time do I get in the Recording Studio?

Exchange Application students currently get 2 hours each without charge to support Erasmus application recording. Any additional time in the Recording Studio would be charged at the usual rates.

How do I book my free time?

There are 3 durations of recording sessions available: Short (2 hours), Medium (3.5 hours), and Long (7 hours + 1 hour lunch). As explained on the main article about the Recording Studio, the online booking system should be used to see when there is availability for each of the different session types.

In order to use your free hours allocation, you must fill out the booking form correctly, ensuring the following fields are correctly input:

• Select from the Purpose of Recordings dropdown list: Exchange Application

Please let us know know when you book which formats your application  requires:  CD, audio mp3 file, or video mp4 file.

All file preparation except video conversion happens during your time allocation,  which is 2 hours for either an audio-only,  or a video-only session; however if your application requires both audio and video recordings,  there is an additional 15 minutes setup time at start, and additional 15 mins tech time at the end.

Regarding the recording: “No editing is allowed on any application material for the Erasmus scheme. Discs must be signed [by the Recording Engineer or your Teacher] with a statement saying that the recording is the students own unedited performance.” and we will not edit them.
Further,  video recordings are not trimmed either,  the Engineer starts and stops the camera,  and that is what is submitted.

How do I check what my free hours allocation is?

If you’re uncertain how many hours of your allocation you’ve used, we keep detailed records, so can provide the remaining allocation to students on request. Please email recordingstudio@trinitylaban.ac.uk to request this.

Terms and conditions
