Hi! I'm new to recording and I just have a couple of questions.
so here's my first
I have noticed when listening to music in my headphones some sound can sound like they are really close (almost in my ears it seems like) and some sounds sound far away. Even if it is the exact same sound and the exact same volume one sound can sound extremely close nd the other far. I have messed with reducing around the 200 level but can't make the effect because the high frequencies sound close too! I thought that this was cause by the use of bass frequency only but then listened to "prettiest girls" by pharrell and noticed the bass did sound in my ears- it sounded far away- it was weird because I thought bass was supposed to sound close up.
another question- which mics are good for recording distant sound and making them sound distant- condenser- large/ small diaphragm or a dynamic like a sm57m
another question- I was recording in the studio using an sm57 on acoustic guitar- the room is sound-proofed well. Since the studio has a digital external mixer I set the knob at the top of the mixer at about 7/8 of the the way to the right- this would increase some loudness(what is this know called) I also set the fader at -5dbs. Things were.going fine until Iturnup the fader and noticed a lot of shhhhhhhh hsssssss from the mix- not the guitar. Does anybody think they might know where this came from
another question! How do I record stereo?
thanks for reading this!!!
