Hey, guys.
I recently started a thread at the recording session with the tittle above.
I'm posting the results just so that you guys can make any comments you want about it. I had only 4 inputs.
Me and a group of friends, we have a group that put up shows for local bands in a bar (like the CBGB of Brazil...not really, but close). Along with that we make sessions for youtube, so the band can have some material of them to share throughout the internet. And we lvoe that raw live vibe of a band playing in a bar, so that is a thing to keep in mind while listening to the results.
I engineered the session and here is how I placed the mics:
Drums: One OH pointing straight at the snare as you can see it in the video - in the mix I just had to boost the low end a little so that the kick drum would be more present;
Guitars: I had trouble with this, because they had 2 guitar players and I had one mic for guitars. So I just placed it right below the OH mic with the 2 guitar amps pointing to it. We had to boost the volume reaaaaally loud so that it reach the mic without catching so much bleed from everything else - I literally had done nothing but a 150hz cut in the mix.
Bass - Shure SM57 right on the speaker of the amp. - compressor and eq
Vocals: I took the line out of the mixer so the vox were pretty much without bleed - I just compressed the hell out of it and cut 150hz aswell.
Here is the link...and sorry for the long post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8lfMh8VJ1g
(We recorded 3 songs of them...and they are in the related videos if u want to see).
