Hi Johnny just been listing to your harlem nocturne wow ! its a fine take you put a lot of soul into that, i was wondering what mic you used on the recording ,
paddy
AKG C 1000 S
it’s fine for the money but nothing like the large diaphragm condensers I’ve had the privelage of using in professional studios that can cost many 1000’s of dollars.
Just curious. When you record the songs you dont appear to have ear phones in so how do you hear track with out it being audible back through the mic which for me is the problem I have trying to record.
Having thought about that I guess you are probably just playing the track and recording the lot at once not mixing back to the program it comes from like I am doing with Audacity. I really cant get the sound right throught the Behringer mixer which is why I havent blogged as yet. The sax is either too soft or distorted when I turn the mic up.It’s a bit frustrating I thought it would be easier than it is to get a decent souind recorded.
my mic is in front of the sax (directly up a bit near the camera) my speakers are pretty much out of the mic’s close proximity pick up range.
I mix this (in Pro Tools) over the backing track so now I can blend the 2 tracks. of course there is minor leakage but the sax is so much up front and after blending in the regular backing track you can’t notice it because it’s playing over the same track.
