Acoustic Recording Techniques Different mics 4/5/16

These are some of the different mics we are looking at when we are in the recording studio recording a few musicians at the same time . This is an AKG MicroMic 11  used for close drum micing up.



Base drum mic which is used for recording in the studio and live performance AKG SA40
big and is good for loud bass sounds like a kick drum or in front of a bass rig as an alternative sound to DI














This is a SM 58 dynamic microphone mainly used in a live performance it is not as sensitive as a condenser but is very strong and hard waring



This is a condenser mic mainly used in a studio recording session for vocals it is a Rhode NT2 it is sensitive and good for vocal recording



Stage Snake
This is what we use to send  individual signals to individual channels on the computer
ie Voice on 1 Bass on 2 kick drum on 3 and so on

We would send the signal to the audio interface that is connected to the computer and separate the channels in Logic pro


Here is an example of Kai setting up a condenser microphone using a mic stand this is a lesson we had on setting up a mic stand and safely putting it away
