Week 13: Seminar - Recording Session

In this session we recorded a saxophone and the grand piano. We began by discussing the different microphone types and placements. We decided to place two Rhode NT-3 microphones on the piano to achieve a stereo sound. Being condenser microphones, they picked up the piano sound clearly even though they were placed quite high up (right and left). In addition to this condenser mics pick up the room acoustics. Similarly we used a Rhode NT-2 to achieve an overall sound of the saxophone. And two Shure SM58’s to close mic the saxophone. The images below show the setup. We also covered basic headphone monitoring and talkback from the studio to the live room.
