Live Event Recording in Chicago
Capture your show while our crew runs the sound.
Live recording for Chicagoland events
When Complex Sound AV runs your sound, we can also record it. We capture multitrack audio straight from our digital consoles, so your concert, service, recital or keynote is saved from the same inputs running in the room. One crew handles setup, sound and recording, anywhere from the city to the suburbs.
