Recording Services

General Information

CSUEB Recording Services handles all recording of Department of Music events and concerts. This includes the Noon Recital Series, ensemble recitals such as Orchestra, Jazz Ensembles, and Symphonic Band, student degree recitals, and special faculty or guest recitals.

Automated Recording Platform (ARP)

CSUEB Recording Services utilizes an automated recording platform (ARP) in MB 1055 to record all recitals and concerts. ARP will begin recording five minutes before the scheduled event and will record until a half hour after the event is scheduled to end on the CSUEB Events Calendar.

Scheduling a Recording

If your recording is held in MB 1055*, it will be entered into ARP. After ARP has recorded the concert, it will be uploaded to the Music Major Group in Blackboard within 5 days of the concert. From Blackboard, those with access to the Music Major Group may listen to the recording. There is no fee for the recording of concerts via ARP.

If your recording is not held in MB 1055, then you must email recording@csueastbay.edu to arrange for an estimate for recording services. Fees for recording concerts are calculated on a case-by-case basis.

*ARP is not available in MB 1039, the University Theatre, or the Studio Theatre. This should be kept in mind in those cases when a recital is split between two locations.

Obtaining a Copy of a Recital Recording

Concerts recorded via ARP are available online free of charge to CSUEB students, faculty, and staff at the Music Major Group in Blackboard. (choose "Music Majors" under "Organizations and Clubs")

To obtain a CD copy of a recital performance, email recording@csueastbay.edu with your name and the specific dates and times of the recordings you wish to have copies of. If a recording is available for duplication, you will be emailed an invoice to pay for the CDs at the Warren Hall Cashier's office. The fee for each CD made is $15*.

*Recordings of concerts are only available to CSUEB students, faculty, and staff.
