Abstract:
You should not start a recording project without knowing how you want the mix to sound! Come and learn how to approach your recording session from the perspective of the mix, and to capture the sound you really need for the mix. You will not only produce more spacious multi-dimensional mixes, but also create a more efficient workflow that speeds up your mixing process. Topics explored will include how different microphone technologies can beneficially color and shape the sounds you’re recording, how different instrument, vocal, and stereo mic techniques affect the sounds captured, and how the recording room’s effect on the sound source and the microphones can be beneficially exploited and explored. For students and professionals alike, understanding these 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
