Audio and video production

Realizing audio and video recordings under professional conditions - this is another thing students learn at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts. We show some of these productions on YouTube, for example, in the #recording_HfMDK playlist.

With its high-quality recording rooms (small hall, large hall, AV studio) and constantly expanding, modern equipment, the AV department team offers students the opportunity to gain experience with audio and video productions.

In addition, outstanding achievements by both students and teaching staff can be documented and, if necessary, published for representative purposes of the university.

The production of application and competition demos as well as recordings of class recitals etc. are possible within the scope of the capacities. Further information on planning and the production process can be found under FAQ.

The range of recordings and productions in the halls and in the AV studio is not just for documentation purposes, but is seen by its staff as an integral part of teaching. It is not about the development of interpretation, but about the reflection of interpretation within the respective medium. The AV department supports artistic training at every stage. The joint work of the students with the video producer/sound engineer (and specialist teacher) promotes artistic development.

Since the start of the 2024/2025 winter semester, all members of the university have been able to use the self-service recording equipment (SAE) in the concert halls. Using permanently installed microphones and cameras, this enables rehearsals, concerts or demo videos to be recorded independently. The system is activated when the halls are in use.
