The Recording process 11 5 16

Today we will be having a recording session in the main studio

We will be using more than 1 mic at a time and will be close miking drums with AKG micro mics

 AKG S1000 dynamic for the hi hat placed about 1 inch from the hi hat to make sure we get a full clean sound we will probably have to move it about till we are happy with the sound

 This is our audio interface the Focusrite it has 8 ins and outs so we can keep each track separate and clean

 For the vocals we used the acoustically treated booth to make sure no noise spill went on to the vocal track

this is Lottie playing the drums that is fully miked up with 6 different microphones and we plugged the bass directly into the audio interface because the bass is direct we only have to worry about the noise spill on the drum tracks so we can leave the drummer and bass player in the same room this helps with their performance as they can see each other and communicate 

We make sure that all wires are safely tucked out of the way for health and safety purposes

This is the finished recording on logic ready for the final mix

It sounds very clean so it is easy to add effects and dynamics, we can also overdub any extra recordings at a later date so over all it has been a great success.
