Speaker(s): Dr. Ian Corbett - Coordinator, Audio Engineering Program, Professor of Audio Engineering and Music Technology, Kansas City Kansas Community College
Whether you have only one microphone and one recording room, or have a variety of microphones and different rooms available, it’s essential to think about the final mix well before you even get into the recording studio. Join Ian as he presents some of the ideas and concepts from his Focal Press/Routledge book “Mic It! Microphones, microphones techniques, and their impact on the final mix”. What do you need to think about before and during the recording process to optimize your tracks for your mix? What are you trying to control and capture when you record? What should your priorities be? What are the sonic, artistic, time and financial benefits of miking for the mix? Real world and every-day situations will be presented, with plenty of audio examples. For students and professionals alike, understanding these issues and techniques will increase the variety of mix styles and sounds you are able to produce, making you a more versatile audio engineer ready to meet the needs of clients and employers today and tomorrow.
