Learning Outcome Specific Detail

What microphone type

has you chosen and

why?

What are you recording e.g. guitar, vocals, etc.

I have chosen to record the drums.

Dynamic or condenser microphone?

Dynamic microphone.

Why have you chosen this microphone?

Condenser microphones are geared towards vocal input rather than instrumental. The pop

shield that must be there for safety reasons would get in the way of the drummer.

What placement have

you used and why?

How many microphones are you using? 2

Where are your microphones placed, and how far away?

One on half of the drum kit, and another on the other half.

Why have you chosen this placement?

I chose this because the microphone will be able to pick up the sound accurately.

What other equipment

have you used?

What cables have you used to connect the microphone to the audio interface?

XLR to XLR

.

Evaluation of sound

and any changes you

have made.

Were you happy with your initial placement and sound of the instrument?

Yes

Recording evaluation If you recorded again, what did you re-record and why? Did you re-record the whole track or

 just parts of it? What went wrong? How many times did you re-record until you were happy?

No, as the drummer was trying to rehearse and get used to the song. We re-recorded until

we were happy with it.

Health and Safety

Procedures

What Health and Safety Procedures have you covered during the set up of your recording?

wires would provide a trip hazard.
