Difficult situation to mike?

It's the kind of job any movie sound guy worth his pay could do in his sleep. The main problem in the mixdown would be keeping the video and audio in sync between the camera changes. Nice clip, though. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

Difficult situation to mike?

You can hear the sound of the huge echoey room as the woman in red hits those drumsticks together... but then it fades to a totally dead mix that could have been made in a studio somewhere. You'll notice the wierd shrieky tone of the clarinet (and total lack of valve sounds) because it's miked right above the bell. Bass is direct, guitar is direct. When the brass comes in at 3:16 you can hear the room ambience change as they open up all those spots on the horns. The fiddles aren't spotted as tightly, so you can hear the tone of the drums change dramatically when the fiddles are pulled up. I wouldn't say this was all that difficult a situation to mike for recording, certainly it's much easier than getting decent PA in there. But the totally dead sound is in conflict with the image. Union Station should sound like Union Station. Former regular poster Karl Winkler used to mix these guys. He was also big on spots. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
