Studio Recordings in Electric Mayhem
We managed to get everything recorded that we needed in the 6 hours that we had booked. This meant that we were not behind and managed to get the best out of the recording session we had. Rachel then took the finished recording off to mix them and sent them off to the band who said they were very pleased with the end result and would love to come back into the studio some time and record again.
The band consisted of one guitarist, one bassist, one drummer and one lead vocalist, with two backing vocals from the guitarist and bassist.
Recording a 60s Band
I helped out in the recording of a band in the studio on Wednesday 22nd February 2017. The band was a 4 piece 60s style band who were playing covers of different songs.
The goal was to do the recording in a way that would have been done back in the 60s to get the same sort of sound that would have been achieved back then.
My job was to be in charge of the live room and the setup of the microphones. This meant I decided where the microphones were placed, based on the plan Rachel had sent us, to get the best sound. I decided to mic everything up separately so that the mixing process would be easier, which is a contrast to how it would have been recorded in the 60s, but it was more beneficial to us to have the ease in the mix stage.
