Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Inspired by the live recordings of the Beatles, Grammy winning engineer Francis Buckley sets out to track a live band in full without overdubs, showing students at the Musicians Institute that this technique can greatly add character to recordings.
"Playing a wrong note is inconsequential, playing without passion is unforgivable" - Beethoven
Francis uses an entire suite of RØDE's newest studio mics, including the RØDE NTR, M5 Matched Pair and NT1, explaining the best placement for each across various instruments.
Chapters:
1:25 Microphone Choice
6:52 Microphone Placement
9:48 In The Control Room
I've always thought it was funny how in the studio, every one is a perfectionist on their little tracks. But yet we all love those old live records .
More rugged than an SM58? I call BS. I saw a UA-cam video where someone dunked an SM58 in water and then shot it with a shotgun and it still worked fine. How much more rugged can a mic be?
Was that an SM58 or Keith Richards?
AWESOME Thanks Francis & People!
Nice to see so many ribbons on a session! I crave All- Ribbon sessions so that condensers won't compete in the high-freq-range, especially on the brightest things in the room, cymbals and HHats.
Did you make efforts to avoid masking in those ranges by down-eq'ing the condensers?
I did notice that some Rode condensers didn't seem overly bright in other demo recordings, that's nice as so many condensers are just loaded with "ear-candy" which gets old pretty quick.
great video just sm57 is a snare mic nothing can beat that. and the bass amp I rather take a direct out cause I won't want alot of bleed but either that that that's just my preference great video good to watch
Amazing stuff!!
beautiful learning
Great video thanks!! would it ever be possible to record a singing drummer live? too much drum bleed? thanks
Hey there- it would absolutely be possible to record a singing drummer live. To reduce bleed, a lot of drummers will reduce the gain and position a mic closer to their mouth. However, some bleed may still come through- it really depends on a few different factors.
good video
Anyone knows how the others are able to hear the singer in this setup? I see that they aren't wearing in-ears or headphones.
lot of wise words..........
What is the book that you mentioned that you read about the Beatles and their recording, at around 4:13 in this video? Never mind, I found it here. www.curvebender.com/recordingthebeatlesdeluxeedition.aspx

SIDEWAYS RAIN no, performance is everything!
I just want to hear the full song ... RIP BB king
Anyone else just wanna know what book that was?
You mean the one called Recording The Beatles? It's on Amazon for about $700.
Very cool!!
How much did you pay him to do this helpful infomercial for the students?
Its funny that they always talk about the mics and mic placement in these videos but never talk about the mic preamps that is really helping these mics shine. It can be rodes. Neumann, Shure, AKG, Sennheisers. and other brand as well as a Dynamic, Condenser or ribbon. That Mic preamp is what those mics are running through. If a person uses a crappy mic and good preamp the sound will be ok. If they use a great mic and a crappy preamp the sound will sound crappy. But great mics with great preamps is what is mixed on number hit albums.
I need help.. I have bought a Rode nt1a +beerinfer xenyx 302 and if i listen to the sound its horrible my sound card is good every thing is ok but the miq sounds bad what i have to do? It were awesome if you can help me thanks before !
+Daaqu please contact tech support at www.rode.com/request_service
+Daaqu Behringer is a piece of shit chinese manufacturing designed in deutschland lol unless you buy the numeric mixers, otherwise don't buy any of their products if you wanna do real things
I'm sorry... But RØDE and Behringer aren't really good together. You better get a focusrite or sth.
the nt1a sounds pretty thin brah. Get the NT1
I like
What's the Name of the Music when the NT1 is introduced?
hi how can we link together am in Kenya
Hey Geoffrey, you can find your local retailer here:rode.com/en/support/where-to-buy
So you run these ribbons on +48v? Doesn't that usually blow out the ribbons?
+Its Fitz Productions The NTR is an active ribbon microphone with a built-in transformer
how's the background track called at 0:28 - 1:20?
More rugged than an sm58? Bitch please! I built my house with just an sm58 and some DucktTape
Never heard the Beatles? Hear the Analogues.
Studio F
Your videos are good but there is need for better production and cohesion of your sequences. Plus the lighting is no that good and i have seen some awkward shots which could be avoided.
Black flag, nice.
