live recording
Live recording is the process of capturing audio or video directly as an event happens, such as a concert or broadcast. Instead of recording in a studio beforehand, the performance is recorded in real-time, often with multiple microphones or cameras to capture different sounds and angles. This approach requires precise coordination to ensure high-quality sound and visuals without the benefit of multiple takes. Live recordings offer an authentic, immediate experience, preserving the energy and atmosphere of the event, and are used for broadcasts, live albums, or streaming. The major challenge is managing technical complexities in real-time to produce a polished final product.
