boojum Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Well, I am learning just how important mic location is. Close counts, but spot on is even better. And I am getting closer and closer. Check out this track from set 2 of Freak Mountain Ramblers on 2007-02-25 jamming at The Laurelthirst Pub, aka Church. Lex Browning rips it with this verison of Clapton's Crossroads. If you are not happy your money will be cheerfully refunded. ;o)Mic location: 10' high about 8' from the band.The usual recording setup: ECM-MS957 > MZ-RH1 (PCM) > PC (WAV) > CDWaveEditor > FLAC 8 > ReplayGain (foobar2000) > burn CD's. The MP3 file is from a FLAC 8 in LAME VBR V2 new fast. Ees good! 1_FMR_Church_2007_02_25_set_2_08.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A440 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Admit it, is that you going WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! over on the right? Sounds like you've got the mic in the right place. For me, all it needs is some bottom: snare drum and cymbal sound very clear, but surely that drummer also has some toms and a bass drum? Wonder what it would sound like if you raised the under 100 Hz zone with EQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the left, anyway. The place was a zoo. Good track, too. Lex Browning played lead guitar and did well. Turtle plays backup on the more echoey guitar. I agree I could crank up the bottom. But I also like to leave the sound alone. If FMR wants to use it down the line they would like to have their guy sweeten it from a pristine file. So, other folks can sweeten it. I will not. Not being a purist, just recognizing other folks' tastes. Glad you liked it. I am starting to get the hang of this. Equal is art to science. I got a good almost three hours of a bluegrass/jazz/blues/folk jam tonight with the mic about 9' up and just over the fiddler's head and infront of the rest of the group. If I can pull a good track I will post it. Damn, this is fun! Thanks for all the help and encouragment.I will have mic-man back east send me photos of the whole kit he is selling. ;o) Seems a good idea.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
