Week Four - Posted on 2013-05-24 by Brendan Morrison

Week four dealt primarily with microphones and microphone placement. I do have a bit of experience recording and tracking so this chapter was definitely informative as far as reitterating some of the knowledge I've learned in the past and learning some new things as well. Zach and I went over some of the microphones we use in the studio and some dos and donts about placement and making sure not to use phantom power with some of the more expensive ribbon mics.

Its funny how a lot of these chapters seem to coincide with what I am doing outside of the internship. Started a new band with some guys and have set up a space downtown right by the recording studio and am planning on recording a demo of ours to send out to some local independant labels through some people that I've met. I'll attatch a photo of the recording area I've set up in the space.
