Stereo Recording Techniques
Method of using two microphones to record audio in a way that replicates the stereo image and spatial placement of the instruments within the ensemble.
Acoustic Treatment
The use of materials and designs to control the sound reflections in the recording space, which affects clarity and the natural sound of the ensemble.
Directivity
The characteristic of microphones that defines their sensitivity to sound from different directions, which influences the isolation and blend of instrument sections in a recording.
Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) Usage
The software platform used for recording, editing, and mixing audio tracks. A well-configured DAW allows for precise control over the recording parameters and workflow.
Phase Relationships
The time alignment of sound waves from different microphones, which affects the overall sound when mixed together. Improper alignment can result in phase cancellation.
Recording Balance
The process of adjusting the levels of the individual instruments or sections within an ensemble to create a harmonious blend where each element can be clearly heard.
Ambience Microphones
Additional microphones placed at a distance from the ensemble to capture the reverberation and natural room sound, adding depth to the recording.
Gain Staging
The process of managing the levels of audio signals within the recording equipment to prevent distortion and maintain a clean signal.
Microphone Placement
Refers to the positioning of microphones relative to the ensemble to capture the best balance and sound quality. Incorrect placement can lead to phase issues and an unbalanced mix.
Monitor Mixing
Involves creating a separate mix for the conductor and musicians to listen to during recording, which can help them perform better.
