As part of our Location Recording module, Level 5 students recorded the Swansea Arena Main Stage Sessions last night.

All performances took place on the main stage in the round. 360 degree projections surrounded and immersed the performers. There were some amazing performances, it was a truly special experience.

We used Dante to record straight from the mixer, and were supported technically by one of our recent graduates now working on the technical team at Swansea Arena. Amazing to see them doing so well!

Massive thanks to the Swansea Arena Staff and all performers, it was such a treat to be involved in an extraordinary night.

We can’t wait to hear the final mixes, watch this space!
