Archive Recording. It is agreed that a musician may participate in one archive and promotional use audio or audio-visual recording per production during the period of this Agreement subject to the following conditions:
a. The recording/performance shall only be made during a scheduled rehearsal/performance where the musicians involved are receiving fees. No additional fee shall be payable.
b. One rehearsal/performance must be designated for the recording and a minimum of one week’s notice should be given of the time, date and place of the recording to both the Musicians’ Union and its members in writing.
c. The recording should only be of the standard necessary for reference i.e. single fixed camera, with integral microphones only.
d. Only one recording may be made. A physical or digital copy may be kept for archive purposes and the recording may also be used for promotional purposes subject to the terms set out for Electronic Press Kits below.
e. The production of the recording shall not disrupt the performance for which the musicians have been contracted e.g. with the addition of lighting or a change of seating or any other factor, nor shall any “retakes” or “patching” be permitted for the purpose of the recording.
f. No recording may be made at Orchestra alone rehearsals.
g. The recording shall not be used for the evaluation of the performance of any member of the Union.

Archive Recording. Performances may be recorded for archiving purposes. All audio-visual archive recordings will be watermarked throughout their duration to deter unauthorised uses.
