First off sorry if this is in the wrong place?
Now I'm just wondering is there anyway to make live recordings sound like studio recordings. Because i have a whole load of live recordings i want to make a clearer sound to. but I'm not sure how. is there any software or tips you could give me? it dosn't have to be perfect just cleaned up if you know what i mean?
Okay, so here's the deal -
I'm recording a chamber music festival this week and I'm having a terrible problem with noise. Specifically, I'm having a problem in that I'm picking up a spanish radio station as clear as a bell through my recording rig. Here's the problems -
We record a children's choir on a regular basis. They are GREAT and we have gotten some really good recordings. Lately a couple of problems have developed and I was wondering if someone could offer some suggestions.
It's been a while since we've done an overview as to the state of the Mastering world.
Have you been busy this summer? Any feelings about the upcoming fall?
What sort of work is coming in?
Is it well prepared? Better or worse than last year?
How is the vinyl cutting business?
Any surround or hi-res business?
I need some advice on how to get rid of the reverberation from a recording of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons that I made in a large stone church last month. The concert producers had a narrator read the sonnets associated with the concerti while a violinist standing behind the narrator played snippets of the solo part.
Just to have some fun, vent a little, and perhaps add some spice to the forum, I thought we could all share some horror stories while they're still fresh.
As the season winds down, you may have a couple of good ones to share as well.
The thread on recording solo piano got me thinking about the challenges of spot Micing piano on chamber music concerts. I record a lot of chamber music with piano. Generally, there are two to seven string players or wind musicians situated in front of the piano. And they all like to snuggle up to the piano and play right in front of it.
Last weekend we did a recording of a children's choir. I do this about 5 times a year. I know what to expect BUT this time they threw us a big curve. Normally this choir is done a cappella with some songs being accompanied by piano. I got a copy of the program at the beginning of the week (something that we ask for all the time) and did not note any real problems with the music.
So I am helping some people at a local church to record their band/choir. I wish I had more experience to offer, but instead I'm just running off instinct.
I know this is a huge area, and that no two instruments are the same, so this is one of those how-long-is-a-piece-of-string topics, but I'm curious to know what people's favourite mic techniques for organ are. I know the AKG 426 sounds amazing, but I've heard that some people have achieved great results with a pair of TLM-103s.
