Recording Guitar And A Dynamic Cardioid Microphone

To record this album an EMI console, a 16-track tape machine, a Fairchild limiters, and an EMT plate reverb were used. There were also up to five or six tape machines doing various delays, reverb delays, ect. at one time. Alan remembers “on the mix having to

Most successful musicians know a hidden art carried out by the work of a good sound engineer; it is essential for a magnificent album. For the rest of us novice listeners and fans, we believe what we hear through our speakers or played over the radio are the true skilled professional musicians, soaring at their craft. Most contemporary music, from pop to R&B and acid jazz to the sophisticated realm of orchestral film scores, has been modernized by several inventions encased within the studio. The art of audio engineering has taken on new forms, from the nuts and bolts, "plug it in, and see if it works" era into the digital world, because of these wonderfully tragic solutions to a

This Blue Yeti USB Microphone will make you reminiscent of that good old, classic microphone with its retro-based theme of shiny metal grilles and silver, chrome-toned frame. With its carefully crafted design, it is quick and easy to adjust, with the help of a set of knobs to secure it in place, to suit your desired microphone angle that aids in improving and optimizing sound quality.

“This album's production very much called for the live, in the room feel, not just for guitar, but for the entire band,” Myles said.

A guitar pickup consists of a permanent magnet (usually with a material core such as ceramic or alnico) which is wrapped by a tight copper coil of many turns (several thousands). The pickups are mounted onto the body of the guitar below the strings which make contact.

- I'll be connecting the skull screw wires to the recording EIB board on Monday and perform AEP recording for 2 different tones (2.0kHz and 5.1 kHz) for an hour each.

I recorded the drums (played by my pal N’Dugu) with as tight and powerful a drum sound as I could. Of course I put N’Dugu’s drum set on my plywood drum platform. Also at this time, I had a special kick drum cover made that covers the entire front of the kick drum. There’s a slot in the cover with a zipper, where the mic fits through. When the kick drum mic is in place, in the slot in my drum cover, I zip the opening tight around the mic. I brought in my good friend George Massenburg’s spectacular sounding,

I always look forward to seeing Open Mic every year- it’s usually the only program I go to throughout the year. Each year has different talents, which is always fun to see, but there are also returning acts that keep people coming back. This year I think that the singers were definitely the stars of the show. Even though, in the period I saw it, three people sang the same song, each one was different and really cool to hear. This year in particular I think that the show was better put together than it has been for some of the other years: less talking in the audience, more respectful audience, and the transition between people was much quicker. While I love Open Mic, there are definitely improvements that can be made in order to make it more enjoyable for

Upon starting to record the guitar , we decided that her guitar sounded far too bright by just recording it with the small diaphragm condenser. We tried it with just my AT4040 but it was still giving us unwanted results I suggested we try a stereo mic recording technique. We took both large diaphragm condenser microphones, a Blue Baby Bottle and an Audio Technica 4040 and created an XY mic technique by stacking the Blue mic on top of the AT4040 having their capsules at a forty-five degree angle from each other because in order to record the warmer sound of the opening of the guitar resonating but also be able to hear the strings clearly on the neck of the guitar. Both microphones have cardioid polar patterns. Which means they only record whats in a bell shape in front of the capsule. With the XY pick up pattern these two imaginary polar patterns overlap each other, and by having them the same distance away form the guitar you don 't have to worry about phase cancellation. We gave it the stereo effect by forcing a full pan left for the Baby Bottle and a full pan right for the AT4040. It gave it a more wholesome sound. Another advantage to recording the vocals separate from the

Founded in 2005, Wampler has quickly established itself as one of the foremost pedal companies in the industry. Mostly known for the prominence of the quality of their variety of dirt pedals, Wampler has a diverse selection of pedals that are refined and based on classic amplifier sounds. Each pedal design is carefully perfected by Brian Wampler himself using only his ear and a breadboard until it is a versatile, iconic finished product. Accordingly, it’s apparent why several Wampler pedals have gone on to become staples, most notably the Euphoria, Ego Compressor, Velvet Fuzz, Paisley Drive, Dual Fusion, and the Plextortion. Not only has Brian Wampler pushed created a legacy of great pedals, he also has influenced numerous current and future

TS)One of my biggest addiction, I have is pencil taping for a couple of reasons.(Point 1) To begin with,whenever I have a pencil in my hands I start hitting the closes thing to me and start taping.(Ex1) One reason I like to tap is,I always loved the drum’s. Whenever I tap I imagine myself playing the drums and being famous.(Ex2) Taping is also a way of letting me concentrate when I do any school work. This is because whenever I do any school work I listen to music while I do it.    (TS)The second reason i like music is because it calm me down. (Point 2) Songs calm me down because whenever i put a song on it changes my mood. (Ex1) The song’s I listen to are mostly upbeat, This depending on how I feel. When I love a song I start doing sign’s

I also decided to remove the overhead microphones from the recording, as the self-noise that was being transmitted from the microphones detracted significantly from the mix. It also became more prominent when EQ was added to the track in order to bring out the cymbal roll at the beginning. The cymbals could also be picked up sufficiently up by the high hat microphone, allowing the overhead to be removed from the recording without detracting from quality of the performance. I also used EQ to bring out the body and the attack of drum kit, and used a high pass filter to minimise the lower frequencies of the bass

This does not detract the sources useful information as to the advancements of recording studio technology. Bryce Merrill illustrates the interactions between memory and home studio recordings through presenting ethnographic data in his paper, Music to Remember Me By . Merrill creates an interesting argument, supporting the use of home recording studios and their impact upon musicians in regard to wellbeing. The key elements within this article centre on the use of memory in the studio, new technologies, and the practice of home recording. The emphasis on personal experience and a lack of adequate external evidence, however, is apparent within this article which does compromise the validity of the notions presented. Although, it does serve as a great personal case study as Merrill explains his personal perspective of technological changes. More so, Merrill also manifests the personal impact and the necessity to adapt to technological changes, alluded to within Gibson 's article, which is also mentioned by Pinch and Bijsterveld . Therefore, these sources provide an overall solid basis for further research into the effect of technology upon both home and professional recording studios. The advancements made in digital music technology has allowed the accessibility of information on recording knowledge, that was once privy to those within a professional status. Studio engineers have always depended
