Recording Services

Based in the South-East of England,
Cantate Recordings  is now able to offer recording services for almost any group / instrument. We can record your performance and make for you any number of CDs , from 1 to 1,000,000 ! Whether it is for personal use, posterity or as a fund raising project, Cantate has experience of them all and can help you make a recording which you can enjoy for a lifetime - and longer !!



We also have extensive editing facilities and can significantly enhance poor quality recordings or prepare your own recordings for production.

Some examples of what we can do are:-

  • Convert old 78s or LPs to CD - removing scratches and clicks

  • Transfer old reel to reel or cassette tapes to CD, removing tape noise etc.

  • Remove unwanted noise or extraneous noises from audio recordings, e.g. traffic rumbling, hiss, a cough in a live performance!

  • Enhance dull sounding audio

  • Make low quality (e.g. Dictaphone) recordings clearer (depending on source material)

  • Other general audio restoration



We also have specific experience of recording the following types of ensembles:-

Choirs - a stereo recording made at your own venue or cathedral visit. We have extensive experience of recording choirs in many churches and cathedrals around the country. We specialise in making "unobtrusive" recordings in order not to interfere with services. Recording is fully digital and "cathedral - like" acoustics can be added if your own venue is too "dry". Digital editing of your recordings is also available at an hourly charge.


Bells - we can lay claim to having recorded the most number of towers bells ever ! From small village churches to large cathedrals with excellent results. No tower has yet proved impossible, so if you would like to record your bells for a special occasion, broadcast, fundraising or for posterity, we can record your bells to CD for you.


Organs - We have experience of recording many fine organs and can make a small parish instrument sound as good as any Cathedral organ!


Orchestra / Band -  we can make a stereo "live" recording of any ensemble, from symphony orchestra to string quartet. We can arrange small venues, but do not have access to large concert halls. Rates would depend on time/length of recording, not size of ensemble.


Small Ensembles / Soloists - whether you are a flute and harp duo, brass quintet or solo singer, we can record your music making. Venues can be arranged for small ensembles at a small cost. We can also arrange backing tracks or accompanists for solo artists - rates for negotiation, depending on the project.
