Dharma Barn Recording
Dharma Barn Audio/Visual
At Dharma Barn, we offer an idyllic setting that inspires creativity and artistry. Surrounded by nature, our studio provides the perfect atmosphere for musicians and performers to create their best work. Dharma Barn has created a unique opportunity to have 5 cam video as well as 3D Immersive video shoots at the idyllic Dharma Barn . This is unique due to fact that the gear used for the audio/visual capture are all high end and resemble assets more commonly found in the best recording studios and sound stages in the world. As audio/visual director Chris Wright has decades of experience using the finest analog and digital components for his productions there is an impressive collection of vintage microphones and preamps dedicated to the multitrack audio capture for these shoots which render an audio quality that is as pristine as the finest recording studios in the world. In this way the video sounds far more engaging than most standard videos where the video aspect is the only focus.
