Jacob Leibowitz
Recording and Audio Professional in NYC
Testimonials
Jacob's professionalism, knowledge of music, as well as recording technology was reassuring to my team as it allowed us to focus on other aspects of the event, which he helped to record. Jacob took the time to understand our needs beforehand. He arrived promptly and dealt with the set up with confidence and aplomb. We are happy with the results.
- Yuan Fang at Nicholas Hall
My experience recording with Jacob was great -- he was very professional, quickly and efficiently set up all recording equipment, and kept me involved in all aspects of the recording process from making sure I approved of the sound quality at the beginning, to taking in all feedback between takes and adjusting accordingly. He ensured that the focus of our session was getting the best recordings that I felt the most confident in for my graduate school applications, for a very reasonable rate!
- Kennedy Plains (Bassoon)
Working with Jacob was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. His kind, professional attitude and his high-quality work made an otherwise nerve-wracking experience feel much more manageable. I cannot recommend him enough!

Work Samples
Here is an example of a standard audition recording set up.
I used a stereo pair of microphones with a single camera video.
In this case we recorded in a practice room, but wherever you would like to record, I can meet you there.

I love recording outdoors. If you've never done it before I'm happy to talk to you about the process.

I love recording in non-traditional locations. It always feels like an adventure. There are so many beautiful sounding spaces beyond the concert hall.
Have an interesting place you'd like to record? Let me know. I can't wait to hear it!
(Curious about how it sounds so wide? There is a stereo pair of condenser microphones at the top of the next floor's landing.)
