I'd like to recommend tight-miking the drums too Phase-wise, I guess I don't understand your question. How is this any different than matching phase on stuff that's already on tape? |

I did feel a little silly ask about phase. Phase solutions are generally a button press away. |

Hello Friends I'm new here. HI!!! I'm pretty new to the recording scene but I'm learning. A lot. So I'm going to be hopefully embarking on a new project for a friend. He told me that his band really wants a dirtier sound to their recordings like The Black Keys. They're basically blues/butt rock band and their previous effort is over produced making them sound more butt rock than blues. No good. I was planning on just recording them live in my studio err basement everyone and their amps together. Real simple setup, as follows. Drums mono overhead and kick. Guitar and bass miked and keyboards direct and probably an amp too just so there is no need for headphones. And overdub the vocals after the fact. I'm not really worried about bleed but I'm terrified of phase problems. Should I set everything up close and have equal distance from say the snare drum? Or keep everything at a distance? What do you guys think? -jonah |
