I am thinking of recording an orchestral score in Prague this summer. Has anybody any experiences (recommendations, hazards) to share? I started to talk to an agency (http://www.musa.cz/) and they seem pretty on the ball.
I have recorded 2 scores in Budapest and, although the playing was good, I wasn't entirely happy. They didn't like playing with headphones and timing with click and loops was not as tight as I can get it in London. Also the technical side was a bit hit and miss. The first time I recorded a Mafilm studios and that was a very good studio but second time round I was at the State Opera with a portable recording rig brought in and that wasn't great.
But I hear a lot of people go to Prague now and are happy with the results. Any advice is hugely appreciated - I'll send a postcard [:)]
