LIVE SOUND RECORDING
Project 2

Picture
For this section you will learn the basics of general live audio recording.  You will be recording using microphones and your own personal devices (cell phones).  Please review the section below on MICROPHONE BASICS.


MICROPHONE BASICS

What it boils down to is that you need to know many types of mics exist, but you'll largely only use two. Each may have ways to change the direction of the field of sound they record beyond just pointing it at an instrument or vocalist. You need to know how to set the proper volumes, what the switches on them do, and how to connect them to the rest of your gear. Beyond that, there's a few concepts you should know exist but don't need to memorize them yet. It's easy! Let's cover it all in that same order.

AUDIO MIXING

Audio mixing is the process by which multiple sounds are combined into one or more channels. In the process, a source's volume level, frequency content, dynamics, and panoramic position are manipulated and or enhanced.
