Hi folks,

I was looking around the Internet searching for discussions related to this topic (bleeding in audio recording) in many forums.

I see people have a lot of approaches and different opinions on how to deal with this issue, or even on if one has to worry about it at all.

I came across this idea while attending a little workshop put on by some of the heavies here in town. One engineer (the youngest, but most talented) recommended this technique during one "class".

As I recall, he put the tape on opposite side of the 57 from the hihat, along the grill side. Anyone ever heard of this?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forums but I have a problem that is driving me INSANE and I'm really hoping that this forum can provide me with a solution here. First I'll describe my set-up so we are all on the same page reading this.

Good Evening RO,

Does anybody have any ideas or know how to get a vocal track clean from drums/acoustic guitars bleeding into the mic on a live multitrack recording?

I did a session years ago before I had better technique in getting a live multitrack recording.:roll:

I would like to get the vocal isolated so I can fine tune and bring it up in the mix.

There is some vocal bleed that can be heard during the mandolin solo.

I know there are lots of solutions for the snare hi-hat problem - but I want to ask if anyone has tried this:
