    Maybe I'm a bit vulnerable today, but watching a mass of folks reveling in the creation of something beautiful is making me a bit teary. Good teary though.
    My local pub here in rural Australia has its open stage today. I couldn't be assed to go, it's the first 'cold'* day of autumn here, the stage is out back in an unheated beer garden, and I haven't been practising.
    But you know what? This inspired me. It doesn't matter if it takes me three tries to get the first loop loaded; I'm not a professional and no one is paying after all. But I know for a god damned fact that with the way I'm feeling will come out in the performance.
    Thanks Apartment Sessions. You made the world a little more musical today.
    *It's +11C out, I'm bloody Canadian immigrant. Hell, I didn't put on long pants until -3 back in the old country. This place is making me so weak that I'm sure the wolves would cull me the second I stepped off the plane should I ever go back.

      TheLongDark Ha! Only in the sense of dealing with the cold. I’ve now dealt with three floods, three venomous snakes, uncounted Redbacks, and the Black Saturday bushfire. Oh, and a methed-up neighbour who wanted to cut my throat because he thought I stoled his goat. It’s so peaceful here in the country... 😀

    • @FossilFishy
      @FossilFishy 6 років тому +25

      Not that anyone cares, but it went okay. Took five tries to load that damn first loop and I had a bum cable in my rig. Not the end of the world because I run some of my effects in parallel. I still had sound, just not what I expected.
      Still, there were moments where I felt that connection, the one where the emotions the piece is intended to convey is being stirred in in me too. I love that. Here’s hoping the audience felt something too.

    • @thewingedpoet8658
      @thewingedpoet8658 6 років тому +11

      Nah, you just have to have a good ear and a good vision for them. It'll take time but it's definitely achievable. Think about how orchestras are recorded, it's nearly the same in this situation. Biggest issues will be phase relationships and tuning. Otherwise it'll just be setting up a mix of the guitars within the general mix. Definitely worth the wait.

    • @thewingedpoet8658
      @thewingedpoet8658 6 років тому +16

      Still are going to mostly be looking at phasing being the majority of the problem even including mic bleed. For instance, singers are placed in front of mic A, another row of singers placed in front of mic B. There's a 2.5:1 ratio of distance between the mics and singers on A bleed into B. The bleed itself isn't the problem, it's the phase issues with the voices in A and B. I've recorded amps and drums at the same time and in the same room but the bleed didn't harm the mix at all because of the proximity of the microphones to the instruments and the overall SPL the close mics were obtaining. While solo'd the bleed is annoying but in the mix as a whole it added musicality and character to the song that I don't think would have been achieved with tight isolation.
      In all honesty, the room tone is going to impact the mix more so than general mic bleed as well.
