Technical & Staffing Provided by The Doudna

Printable Technical & Staffing Services Outline

Technical Event Form 

To improve communication between designers, directors and the Doudna staff the Technical Requirements Form (TRF) will be sent to the requester or the director no later than one (1) month prior to the performance date. This form will need to be completed no later than two (2) weeks prior to the performance date. If the form is not completed the Doudna cannot guarantee any technical help other than the standard technical assistance for that specific type of event. The TRF will also be needed for any student recital that needs anything other than a piano, stand, and/or chair. This needs to be completed by the student's faculty advisor. No changes to the technical needs of an event can be made unless approved by the Doudna Fine Arts Center staff.

Doudna's Student Crews 

Through the TRF, all technical needs for any concert or event once finalized will be communicated back to the requester and Doudna staff days prior to the event. This will allow the event organizers to focus on their role with the knowledge that the event is set up and being run according to pre-approved specifications. No changes should be made and discussed with the student crews the day of the event. If at any time these policies are violated the department will be charged all student staff costs that are typically waived for the event.

Audio/Recording Services 

Standard Audio/Recording Services provided by Doudna staff include:

  • Providing a set of stereo recording mics and solo mics as needed and indicated on the TRF.
  • Standard sound reinforcement for jazz performances.
    • When a recording involves solo or additional microphones a multi-track recording can be made and stored for future use. This must be requested on the TRF.
  • A recording will be provided to the requester no later than 4 weeks after the performance.
    • This service only includes leveling audio and cutting dead space.

Audio/Recording Services not provided by Doudna staff 

  • Recording a rehearsal.
  • Recording sessions outside of a performance.
  • Doudna support to record sophomore, junior, senior and graduate recitals. These can be recorded via the backstage recorder in the Recital Hall.
    • Jazz student recitals involving an ensemble can receive a stereo recording setup since these events are not suitable for the Recital Hall. Supervising faculty must complete the TRF.
  • Mixing and mastering a professional or commercially ready CD or track.
    • You must separately contract with the Doudna Audio Engineer or an outside vendor for the above-mentioned services.

Video Services 

Video recording services can be provided if requested via the TRF and only if the system is available during the requested time. The requester must provide an approved blank SD card for the video recording, or the service cannot be provided. The requester must then pick up the recording after the event has finished. These recordings also include audio. The Doudna staff can no longer store send video recordings.
