This week I had the chance to work on the desk. All the channels on protools were named and the tracks were setup for the session. The acoustic guitars and elecric-acoustic guitar were tuned and ready. we had a discussion on what microphones will be suitable for the recording and finally we decided to use the SM 57 and SE 2200a II
Shure SM 57 and the SE 2200a II were used to record the acoustic guitars and DI was used to record the electric acoustic guitar .The SE 2200a II was used as a room microphone and the Shure SM57 was placed right in front of the guitar .The omni-directional polar pattern mode was selected on theThe SE 2200a II so that it can pick up signal around the room. The DI box was connected directly to the electric-acoustic guitar and then connect to the DI rack then the signal were channeled down to desk. we worked on the headphone mix , spoke about the Mix A and Mix B function and how to communicate across to people in the live and dead room.
