Hi-my son is applying for a few BAs in music with a performance emphasis (not BMs). They all require an audition and two of them require prescreening videos, including group pieces. The audition requirements do not say anything about whether sound engineers are needed or permitted. They do say it is not necessary to record in a studio and you just need good sound quality. Nonetheless, we will follow the advice of my son's teacher and record in a studio with live musicians accompanying. Any insight on whether a sound engineer should be used? In one case, I emailed the school to ask them directly because we have had many contacts already; in the other case, I don't want to do that and don't think they will answer anyway.
Thank you.
