Studio Recording Session with BIM Students
After two recording sessions we have recorded drums, bass and guitar.
In the drum session we used a “Recorder Man” technique for the overhead mics which we used 4400 mics for. We used two SM57s for the snare to get the top and low sound of it. The D112 for the kick drum and a dynamic mic on the tom, plus two Titan room mics.
To mic up the guitar we used an AT4033a on a distance and a close up SM57, + 2 4400s for a spaced pare room mic.
The bass we took straight through to the desk with a DI line in module.
In this video you can hear a unmixed version of the guitar, drums and bass we recorded. P.S the video is not in HD and is a quick edit.

This is how I would setup an orchestra if i only had one microphone like they had in the early 1900s.
The Strings in the front because the brass and woodwind are louder then the strings. And then a simple mix with Brass to the left and Woodwind to the right so you could hear that clearly when you’d listen to it.
