Re:Sound - Mixing
From Andante magazine re. ‘Leonid Kogan in Paris’ (Testament Records) Beethoven: Violin Concerto in D Mozart: Violin Concerto No.5 in A “Paul Baily’s splendid transfers have brought us as close to the actual 1950s sound of the Salle de la Mutualite or the Salle Wagram as we are ever likely to get.” (Robert Layton)
Most recordings these days are multitrack, whatever the genre of music. For a classical recording, expect a minimum of two main mics, two ambient mics, and a number of spot mics to help bring out various instruments or vocals.
On a ‘pop’ track, a single guitar could easily have three microphones. All the tracks must be blended together to create a pleasing result with all the parts having their own space and place. In popular music this will involve creative use of effects such as compression, equalisation and reverberation.
Re:Sound will mix your multitrack recording down to stereo in liaison with you to achieve your desired sound.
