Acoustic Recording Techniques the recording process 11 5 2016

The first thing we did was run the stage box and then we placed the mcrophones in the drums

This is Kai he is running this stage box cable safely out of the way to make sure there is no trip hazard

 Each channel on the stage box will have the same channel number as the audio interface so that we can keep track of what sound is going the which track this makes it easy to follow.

This is an AKG micro microphone on the snare we make sure that the microphone is placed close to the drum to help to reduce any noise spill

 AKG micro on the tom

 This is the AKG S1000 that we used on the hi hats it is place at an angle about 2 inches from the snare 

it will pick up some noise but it will be kept to a minimum and we can EQ some of the noise out when we mix the track

 The audio interface is the Focusrite clarett we use this to send sound to and from the computer all the microphones are plugged into this and then the sound goes to the computer where we can see the level and make any adjustments

 Genelec studio monitor professional monitor , we had to be careful of the sound level to protect our ears

the bass is pugged directly into the audio interface which means that there wont be any noise spill on the bass track from the drums so we don't have to put them in separate rooms

 We use Logic Pro to record the bass guitar and drum kit at he same time, we used we used six different microphones on the drum kit and the bass was plugged directly into the audio interface, each track was separated using the interface and logic pro which gave us full control of each individual sound . We were then able to mix the track also monitor and change the level of each track so we can add dynamics and effects for a professional sound.We had to take regular breaks to make sure we didn't get tired and protect our eyes and rest our backs and neck...

At the end of the day we managed to record a good track that we can add more instruments to , we add the vocals from the vocal booth which is acoustically treated this ensures that we get the best vocal sound with no noise spill at all, although you can hear the head phone spill on the vocal track
