DEMO Recordings:
RBF now offers a preproduction and demo recording studio. The studio was created in conjunction with Openroom Productions and aims to give up and coming bands and musicians the opportunity to record in a professional studio environment and learn professional recording techniques at a much more affordable rate. The Studio is ProTools equipped and is therefore also the ideal place for musicians to do preproduction work and then still transfer files across to one of the bigger ProTools HD studios that RBF has to offer.
Drama Studios:
Radio drama has always been the theatre of the mind. In our drama studios we are able to accommodate any specialised drama production, including live sound effects as well as offering ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ accoustic rooms. If the sound effect does not already exist, we will create it!
Packaging Studios:
RP Studios’ advanced facilities allow for live on air broadcasts, production of document-aries, telephone interviews, link ups with outside broadcast points, and national or international conferences via ISDN or satellite links.
Variety Studios:
Audience participation for quiz shows and variety programmes is made possible here in the Variety Studios. The audiences are encouraged to participate in the shows while recording is in progress to create an atmosphere of a live recording.
Anechoic Chamber:
This room is entirely sound proof and was traditionally used for testing and repairing sound sensitive equipment such as microphones and speakers. Due to the constant changes and advancements in technology, this chamber has now become obsolete.
RBF Gauteng also has studios available in Tshwane … Click here for more information
