Planning

• The band used was Harry’s band• Had a demo recorded and mixed from the band which• Made a note of aesthetic use of effects• We planned on how to recorded each part (drum

mic’ing and what rooms to use etc) but did not plan on doing a mix at the session.

• We set out to create a version of the song that sounded similar to the demo provided but in a clearer and better quality.

Recording techniques

• Drums: subkick, blumlein overheads, room mic

• Guitar: C451 pair parallel on/off axis, mic behind amp cone

• Bass: amp mic/DI blend, recorded with bassist in room for comfort

• Vox: FLEA vox mic/ Stereo room mics, 3 acoustic shields around singer

Beneficial techniques

• Bass – DI and amp allowed for better tone.• Sub kick and blumein allowed for more

presence and a more defined rhythm section• Vocals – 3 walls of acoustic panels, vocal mic

and room mic allows for control of sonic space and tone blending.

• Overbubs allowed use some more creative space when mixing.

Problematic techniques

• Trouble mounting stereo overheads lead to loss of time.

• Additional overdubs on vocals needed.• Pre production scheme, mic research.• Not enough time for creativity. • Guitar through wall caused time issues.

Research

• Harry being in the Band (FUR) we had an idea on how we wanted it to sound, Stylistically and aesthetically.

• We planned our guitars to fit the genre of which we were aiming for (Clean Tone, ¾ guitar ballad, Sit under reverb vocal. Similar to Bands like Peace, Mac Demarco and the Magic Gang)

• We wanted to sound that didn't’t sound too over produced and had a more natural feel to it. This allowed the band to co-exist in the same sonic space with no one over powering nor floundering in the mix.
