Asking the right questions about your microphones before the talent arrives is what separates a great recording from a good one. When is it better to use a dynamic mic instead of a condenser? How do you place each mic and which is the best polar pattern for each application? You will find the answers to these questions and more as we progress through this course.
The worldwide known instrument Kawai KG 2E recorded close mic. In fact, this piano sample set used to be a freebie but can’t be found anymore as far as I know. Still a nice one.
In this course, filmed on location in one of the best drum-recording rooms in Los Angeles, EastWest Studios, GRAMMY-winning recording engineer Ryan Hewitt explains his techniques for capturing drum sounds.
Recording with contact microphones is fascinating territory to explore due to the unpredictable results; it encourages experimentation! Inspired by the incredible work of Alan Splet and Anne Krober on Dune (as described in this article) I bought a custom built Trance Audio Inducer contact mic and preamp back in 2001, and have been experimenting with it ever since. A couple of years later I added a pair of Barcus Berry Planar Wave contact mics and while these mics featured in Tortured Piano this library is something else again: it is literally the result of hundreds of hours of experimenting… If you’re interested I have explained some of my experience in more detail in this article One aspect of contact mic recording that is fascinating for sound design is the lack of acoustic – there is no reverb due to the sounds being recording via direct vibration, not through the air. This feature alone makes for very malleable sounds, excellent as components and layers in complex, composite sounds or for when you need an abstract organic sound but where the actual source must remain concealed…
Have you ever wanted to mute your microphone exactly the same way as Output Volume? Now it is possible. MuteMyMic provides you with easy way to control Input Volume from the status bar or via keyboard shortcuts. Application works in a background and allows you to control the Input Volume with a single key or mouse click while at the same time you can enjoy your favorite applications that require your mic. Now, you can adjust volume of your Internet phone calls right from the keyboard shortcuts. Since version 1.7 MuteMyMic is integrated with Growl. It will notify you each time input volume was changed by other applications. There is a new feature – “force mute”. Whenever MuteMyMic determines that microphone was unmuted it will mute it again (this feature can be enabled/disable via Preferences panel).
