FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does multi-tracking or even a live 2 track mix using proper equipment differ from the microphone on cameras or smartphones?

Camera phones just capture an ambient sense of the environment and can’t isolate each instruments impact and clarity. When you hear a band properly mixed through a sound system you hear the punch. Using multiple microphones captures that sense of excitement.

If a project starts with Scenic Audio does the final mix need to be completed by Scenic Audio?
No. Even though we are capable and would love to see the whole project through its completion, we understand that budgets might not allow it or you would prefer to remix it yourself in your home studio.
What do we get after the recording is completed?
Everything recorded belongs to you. Upon final payment you will receive all of the raw multi-track files at 96kHz/24bit.wav files and a live stereo mix that just might serve your purpose without remixing. File transfers can be achieved through the various cloud-based services such Dropbox/Google or client supplied hard drive.
What does Scenic Audio supply?
All the equipment needed for a multi-track recording including mixers and multi microphone setups. We do not provide a PA system for live reinforcement as that can vary depending on the situation and venue.
Is video recording part of the package?
We usually do not since we are not professional videographers. Depending on the scenario we will set up a camera or two for archiving purposes. The video samples were provided by the client or Scenic Audio where we would sync up the audio from the multi-track mix. We can discuss involving a videographer if it makes sense for your project or adding the archive video to the package.

About Me

Hi, my name is Robert Iriartborde. (Trust me, I also at times have trouble with my name. It’s pronounced “eerie-art-board”).

Welcome and thanks for checking out Scenic Audio. I’ve been an audio engineer for over 20 years in the San Francisco Bay Area

Testimonials

As a pianist/arranger/copyist/ producer & session musician working in the South African Music Industry (1984-1996) before making the US my home, it is important that the sound person I am working with has “musical ears!”

I was immediately impressed with his dedication to his craft. I value his professionalism and his ability to appease my perfectionist heart. I always joke that he makes my productions sound, “expensive! Both of us have worked extensively in recording studios and Rob brings this expertise to the live experience. Many times he has remixed my live concerts. I will simply not do any big live performance without him. His attention to detail and solid preparation makes him my go to person.

I would highly recommend Rob Iriartborde for all your live and studio sound needs.

Having worked with him on many projects, including music, video, corporate, live events and post-production, I fully trust his experience and input and appreciate his patience and ever-present good humor. Rob is my first choice for any audio need.”
