I've decided to ask this of several forums... your opinions on bleed? I just tracked a singer/songwriter in my ghetto-fabulous home studio (yeah, I'm an amateur) and he likes to play & sing at the same time. So, I threw up 3 mics: one ldc for vocals, one sdc on the acoustic, and a dynamic up in the corner (w/ the phase reversed). Yeah, it bleeds all over the place, but we were going for a live performance type of feel, ala pedro the lion or iron & wine. Does this annoy you in mixing; or in the right situation, do you embrace it? I just started mixing last night and find both good and bad things... what have you experienced in the world of bleed? |

The only time bleed can bite you on the ass in a big way (as opposed to just gumming it) is bass bleed into the drum mics. |

Vocal bleed into the acoustic guitar mic can hurt back there too... hurts a lot less if it's in phase with the vocal mic. |

If you aren't experienced getting it going right with 2+ mics, just use one. |

a single mic in the toilet, down the hall from the tracking room would have been better. |
