mixing live jazz recording (Earlier Thread Recording Jazz Drum Kit)
hello everybody,
a few weeks ago i asked here for some advice about recording a live jazz trio with singer. Thanks again to Thomas, Nate and Scott for their helpful advice. things got a bit complicated at the gig, musicians arrived with their instruments 15 minutes before the start of the show and i had to record a real piano instead of the digital piano which i was expecting. So there was not much time for a soundcheck or trying things out. I'm now trying to get a usable mix out of the tracks i have. Problematic tracks in my opinion are the two Piano tracks: I'm missing the lower strings, they are hard to hear. The kick drum is nearly not hearable, only when it was hit hard it's hearable over the OH mikes. The double-bass didnt have a pickup, but a big-condenser mike below the bridge, which was ok. The additional U87 i used perhaps 1 ft away is not really usable. Since the stage was very small, there is more drums and piano than Bass on the U87. I did a rough mix of one song and it would be great to get some feedback. I'm not sure if I already overcompressed the individual tracks? I had some problems dealing with the dynamics, i used some compression and some manual gain-riding. The vocal could perhaps also need some more presence? Here is the link. Thanks for any feedback.
