[openscene]

This week I have been working with a young band to cut a song for their new release. They have been cutting their own demos on a cassette four track but wanted to do one in studio as a lead in to the rest of the album. We spent a bit of time talking about guitars at the start. The feel was start with Nirvana - Bleach style sound; thick but loose with lots of drive. After playing with a few sounds, we locked into a slightly driven AC30 top boost and then used a JHS Pack Rat to really drive the amp. After some back and forth on different Rat models, we settled in on the 'Caroline' mode that offered a lot of gain with some overtones not present elsewhere. For microphones, I used my trusty pair of an Ear Trumpet Labs Edwina and a Sennheiser MD421 II on the AC30. I like the similar but different tonal qualities of each, especially in the top end when dealing with distortion. It really allows it to sound like two different amps in a lot of ways. For the drums, I stuck to my normal array of microphones. Sennheiser e902 on the kick, e905 on the snare top, e904 on the rack and floor toms, SM7B on the hats, and a matched pair of Lewitt 140AIR condensors as overheads. I like this set up for a rock band as it allows me to run live off the floor and get good sounds, plus it feels a lot like how I would engineer it live. If I were to change anything, I would have lowered the overheads a bit to more closely mic the cymbals as Sam is a bit of a hard hitter. I also ran an ElectroVoice RE20 as a room mic; I originally had considered using a large diaphragm condensor like an ETL Edwina or Rode NT1A from my arsenal but, in a smaller room like mine, liked the idea of being able to be more unidirectional and aim directly at kick drum from across the room.

While we tracked the guitar and drums live off the floor, we tracked bass and vocals separately. Sam played my Fender Jaguar bass and we put it through a SansAmp Bass Driver DI and a vintage Traynor MonoBlock II into a Traynor TC1510 cabinet with the EV RE20 on a 10" speaker. We dialed in a slight drive sound through the Bass Driver, but tried to keep it somewhat clean and smooth to contrast with the high gain of the guitar.

Since picking it up on the cheap second hand, the EV RE20 has also been my go to mic for vocals in the studio and we again went with it for this one. Rick doesn't particularly sing loud but is fairly consistent in his volume and cadence, so getting takes wasn't difficult. Overall, we cut three full takes and a couple of partial takes to go through. Largely, the final vocal line was taken from two main takes with occasional words or lines from others, but again his singing was consistent so it was fairly easy to choose the best takes for the final track.

Sam, Rick, and I spent about the last hour or so really dialing in a working reference mix so we could come back to it with fresh ears the next day. The biggest direction from the band was to get the guitar most present in the mix. Mixing the two mics together, we got a really aggressive sound that needed a touch of taming on the high end. Once the bass was added, it really thickened and added punch to the mix. We mixed the drums to this, starting with overheads and then adding the individual channels. I have a tendency to set kick very high in the mix, so I tried to be aware in my placement of this. Sam and I differ in our preference of snare sound, so I tried to find a happy medium between his like for high end and my beefier preference. Ultimately, it is a bit thinner than I prefer but still has a lot of presence from the overheads.

The vocals is where we spent a lot of time creatively. We started with some EQ and the Abbey Road J37 Tape Saturation plug in to get a bit of a fuzzy sound. We tried some different reverb sounds to give space, but ultimately ended up working with the delay in the Greg Wells VoiceCentric plugin to get where we wanted. I like this plugin for vocal compression, so it ended up being a good way to get both on the vocal chain.

After leaving it to fresh ears, I played with the mix a bit and changed some compression settings the next day. I went back to the EQs on the kick and snare but the band to be more my taste but the band ended up preferring where we were previously and we changed it back. We added more delay and I cleaned up a bit of EQ in the Master chain while adding some loudness and compression on the final mix. Overall, it was a quick job on a scrappy song but we all ended up with something we were happy with and the band will be releasing it on time for their show on Saturday, October 11 at Gobblefest 30 here in Sydney.

Need a new mic

Need a new mic Hey I'm looking for a new mic around 500$ in the used range, going to be running it through an Apollo twin and in a treated room. Looking for a good work horse mic I can use as my main mic. Thinking about the lewitt 540 any other suggestions or reasons why I shouldn't get it will be very appreciated Submitted April 27, 2024 at 12:46PM by CurrentAcrobatic1190 https://ift.tt/BpqItvC via /r/Music

[intothevortex]

Leaving the house at 8:45am for work to come at 9:15pm from work is… let’s say… not my usual schedule ;) But... well… pandemics have different rules. C’est la vie (Excuse my French).

At least, I came home to find a package with THIS in front of my door. Seriously, I'm humming of joy ;) and I hope to being able to put my new baby to good use soon. Hopefully on Sunday. Thursday and Friday will also be very busy days. On Saturday, I will have to help my dad and my brother. 

But Sunday.... weeeell… Sunday... I will (hopefully) record the last missing bits of my “two-parter” that was to be published an eternity ago… :/

The microphone you see above, btw, is - despite its looks (that I adore!) - indeed a serious (and seriously great) microphone. It’s the Neat King Bee. A super inexpensive but incredibly, incredibly good mic. I didn’t believe my ears when I listened to (way too many) tests.

Also, it came with a toy… My Lewitt “just” came with a wristband ;)

‘Vets in Diversity’ Podcast launch

I'm delighted to finally share the ‘Vets in Diversity’ Podcast series, produced for The University of Edinburgh, Royal Dick School of Veterinary Medicine. Recorded through the pandemic,  we spoke to students, university staff and leaders within the veterinary profession about race equality, diversity and inclusion within education.

This series includes 10 episodes, which look to unfold some of the challenges and intersectionality faced by BAME people entering a profession, where 97% of vets registered in the UK consider themselves from white ethnic backgrounds.  Episodes range from the challenges that BAME people face in accessing higher education at high tariff universities to mental health support, decolonising the curriculum, dealing with COVID, racism and BLM.

From a producer's persepctive, the series features a mixture of in-person and remote interviews. I used my Rodecaster Pro desk and a range of mics for different guests inluding Rode Procaster, DSB-1 (custom made dynamic), Shure KSM32, Aston Element, Lewitt MTP 740CM, Sennheiser MKH416 and sE Electronics X1S. We even used a Mackie EM-91CU as a 'mailout mic' for remote guests, recording through the Riverside.fm platform.

This podcast series is aimed at anyone interested in learning more about race equality, diversity and inclusion, thinking about going to vet school, currently a vet student, graduate, employer, teacher, guidance counsellor, parent or someone simply interested in finding a good podcast series.  This series will take listeners on a thought provoking and inspirational journey.

The series is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

This recording is part of "What do you hear from your window?" Initiated by Gilles Malatray - a form of Sound Walking without leaving your house during the outbreak of Covid19. Link further down Recorded in my garden on Monday 4:27:2020 8.00PM - the weather was calm and grey with very little wind. Right outside my garde hedge there’s a dirt road - used by the townspeople jogging, walking their dogs and riding horses from the farm close to my house. Tonight I noticed a pair of horses walking on the far end of the dirt road, so I went to set up my microphones to catch them as they walked back to the farm - it took a little longer than I anticipated - but I recorded a lot of other wonderful sounds. The recording starts with the first jet I’ve noticed in a long time… There’s a rumble from the farmers tractor, my neighbors furnace, birds singing and my pigeon pair flying about, a person walking briskly in the gravel and the kids down the block playing a form of street tennis with their dad having fun - towards the end you hear the woman with the horses returning while they talk… a bee flying close to the mics and a dog barking from a distance and finally me walking back to stop the recording. The track is unprocessed except for gain setting/normalizing Recorded with a pair of Lewitt LCT 540 S in NOS and Sound Devices MixPre3 II 32 Bit float. Helding, Danmark
