Strickly Recording Techniques

Madamhelgar88 · 10-16-2008, 04:31 PM

I am a music production student and I have the task of recording Electronic/Experimental music, next week sometime. The composer wants to send the sounds through a amplifier and he works with a lot of tape manipulators and distortion units that he has created himself. I trying to think of ways of recording him, specially the distortion. Does anyone have any experience in recording such tracks? I was thinking of using a mixture of close micing and room mics that capture the natural resonance and reverb within the room. I am just a little worried that I wont be able to capture the harsh sounds well with typical microphones. We have a large range of microphones, so I will probably go for large diaphragm mics, but just not sure about positioning.

Any ideas?

I suggest that you read the strictly thread rules, and consider posting such questions posting in the Ibreath cafe.

The only recording that i have experience was during my computer graphics class we recorded our voice and a background music with the use of a multimedia software, maybe it will also work on with what you are planning. I hope so.
