I have been trying to record myself in my 1 man band configuration, while playing on the street, in front of the local music store. I am not at all satified with what I am getting. It sounds way too thin and tinny to my ears. Could some of you knowledgable guys give me some pointers?
Here is my set up:
Vocals/harp - going through a Rode NT1 mic, about 12" from my mouth. This mic also picks up the national steel guitar, and the high hat cymbal(on my right foot).
The 2nd mic, an AT3035, was placed just to the lefft of the kick drum, at eye level. This is about 2-3' from the vocal mic.
I ran them into an ART TPS mic preamp. The vocal mic was set to the warm vocal preset, and the 30305 was set to the nuetral preset. I kept the gains below the red.
This went to a Tascam DA-30 DAT recorder. I kept the levels around 8.
I mixed it through Samplitude Master 6.5 recording software. I added a bit of compression, mids on the vocal mic, and maximized the volume.
Here are the results of my first attempt. Thanks Walter
