Oscar Torres - On the move with RME and Orchestral Recording
London-based Oscar Torres is an audio engineer who specialises in the recording and editing of classical music. Having studied Music and Sound Engineering in his native Colombia, he moved to the UK in 2006 to pursue a full time career in the recording industry.
Since then he has worked on projects for a variety of well-established record labels including Rubicon, Orchid, Nimbus, Onyx, Guild and Hyperion amongst others. For the past five years he has been responsible for engineering the CD releases of the Spanish label Tritó, including a series of recordings of the Cadaqués Orchestra.
In this video, Oscar tells us about his mobile recording rig which includes a selection of professional audio hardware from RME, such as the RME Fireface UFX+ audio interface, and the RME Octamic II and RME Octamic XTC microphone preamplifiers.
The video features a combination of footage from Oscar’s recent projects, which he worked on with producer Matthew Bennett. Both recordings will be released by the Spanish label Tritó ( http://www.trito.es );
1) Recording Mahler and Beethoven 5th symphonies with conductor Gianandrea Noseda and two orchestras (for the Mahler recordings): Cadaqués Orchestra and Castilla y Leon Symphony Orchestra.
Recorded in Valladolid, Spain on the 18th, 19th & 20th May 2017, a combination of two live concerts and recording sessions. CD to be released later in 2017.
2) Recording Stravinsky and De Falla ballets with conductor Kazushi Ono and Barcelona Symphony Orchestra.
The footage was shot during recording sessions in Barcelona, Spain on the 4th, 5th and 6th July 2017. This was the first disc of a double album with the ballets for which Picasso designed the scenography. The second CD will be released in 2018.
