Hello all,

I'm a complete novice when it comes to high end microphones and audio recording. I'm familiar with recording on USB microphones which basically do most of the work for you.
However, since I do video production, I've decided to step up my audio game for voice-overs.

My cousin tells me he is getting great sound by doing this.

He copy's his personal stereo EQ and put it over the track, then he mixes all the tracks so when he exports it should be neutral for anyone's home EQ.

My gut tells me this is a bad idea but he tells me it is great.

I appreciate any feed back.

I have been asked to make a stereo recording of a grand piano, flute and base flute in a small 'music room'. I have Neumann KM184s (matched pair), TML103, AKG 414s (matched pair), STC/Coles 4038. Will be using Nagra VI (4 mic channels). There will be no audience. Please can someone advise on mic placement. Many thanks, David

What is the strangest place you have used to get that exact sound you or some producer was looking for. What place was it,closet,barn,Oven etc. and what did you use to get the sound?

Hi,

I am trying to figure out the right way to use my AT2020 side address microphones in an XY technique for drum overheads. I just can't seem to understand it by reading articles about it because none of the microphones in the diagrams are side-address.

Also, is XY the best technique the best for drum overheads?

Thanks to anyone that can help me!

So I was in a bit of a hurry and needed to get a quick demo of a song I had been working on. So I quickly set up my K2 and hit the record button. The song it self is supposed to be a kind of "ghost story" feel. Think Nick Drake and Iron And Wine kind of stuff. So I spent about 5 minutes looking for a decent mic placement. I came across one I truely found remarkable.

Hi everyone,

I've been messing with a series of songs to attempt to come up with a coherent sound before burning a CD.

Just looking around.

Kind of tired of "reading" for now. I thouhgt a cool DVD would be a nice change.

Thanks.

it's usually used in electronica, where an instrument/voice cuts in and out. how is this done and what is it called? thanks, Reuben

Saw this referenced on another forum, and thought that some here would benefit from the purchase. I lucked out and got one for 2.50 on ebay, but they are cheap anyway.
