Every choir carries music that matters: folk songs passed down, new commissions, the piece your ensemble is known for. Too much of it never gets recorded, or gets recorded badly. Muni Sound exists to change that.
Book a ConsultationWe Know the Hurdles
We've sung through them ourselves. Recording that costs too much and feels out of reach. Engineers who don't know the repertoire. The technical maze of capturing thirty voices in a live room, and the bigger maze of what happens to the recording after the session ends.
You shouldn't need an audio degree to get your choir's sound preserved. Bring us the music and the questions; we'll handle the rest.
Our Approach
The studio comes to you: your venue, your acoustics, the room where your choir already feels at home. We work within real budgets and explain every step in plain language.
Kundiman, spirituals, plainchant, or a brand-new commission: we learn how your tradition is supposed to sound before we set up a single microphone. Your sound stays yours.
From pre-production through masters ready for streaming, CD, and vinyl, we stay with the project until it's out in the world. And long after, if you'll have us.
Immersive Audio
Choral music lives in churches, halls, and open air, and the room is as much a part of the sound as the voices. That's why we record immersive: an eleven-microphone Grace Design array, built to travel, capturing your ensemble and the space it sings in together.
It's how we recorded the Philippine Madrigal Singers in a church in the Philippines, and the LALÒ Ensemble in San Francisco, in a collaboration with Apple: spatial audio and 360° video for the Apple Vision Pro. Never immersive for its own sake: immersive as the most faithful way to carry traditional music out of the room it was made in.
“It's the dance of listening to and appreciating the music for what it is, and making sure that you honor the fidelity of the music when you're mastering.”
Jett Galindo, in PLAYBACK MagazineOur Process

A calm session in a space where your singers feel comfortable. Takes until it feels right.
