Band recordings in a venue :
Every mobile
recording session needs a slightly different approach, in part this is determined by budget.
The methods are as follows:
1)Stereo bus desk FOH recording and audience mics where practical.
2)Multitrack direct channel outputs from
FOH console and audience mics where practical (mix later)
3)Split microphones / preamplify and multitrack record
with
audience mics where practical (mix later)
Option 1 is the most cost effective and 3 is the most expensive.
Option
1: relies on the sound balance the PA engineer makes
for the PA system in the venue, it might not sound quite as you would
wish but is a very cost effective option.
Option 2: a good compromise and allows flexibility in the mixing stage though
some dynamic processing from the FOH console can affect the recorded sound. The recording quality can still be influenced
by the FOH console engineer using this approach.
Option 3: is the best solution as the recording is controllable during
record and mix stages, it is also the most technically complex and a little more costly.
The equipment is not housed in a vehicle and this makes the pricing very cost effective, it is usual to
be stageside, near FOH or in an allocated space in the venue.
Equipment :
30 channels of transformer isolated mic split (2 way split, 1 direct and 2 isolated outputs)
Alesis HD24 x 2 running on uninteruptable power supplies.
24/8 way 30M snake
24 channels of microphone preamplification
(PR8E x 3 modified with high grade opamps + capacitors)
XLR to XLR patches (foil and copper screened)
Monitor mixer through Alesis HD24
I will gladly talk you through the various options and best way to proceed.
Mixing :
Performed on
a high powered dual Xeon PC with Nuendo, Focusrite Liquid Mix (beautiful EQ and compression) and high quality reverb and Fx
processing. Delivered on a CD-R with a back up of you multitrack recording files on DVD-R's.
(Please do not select
your engineer purely on the basis that he uses "Pro Tools" this is the least important aspect of your recording and mix) Yes
it's a buzz word but Nuendo is an excellent performer when it comes to music mixing.
