Mind you, he is a great cook as well!BrightEyes wrote:And what Symphonica said too!! Thanks buddy! I, for one, really appreciate having you on these forums!symphonica7 wrote: There's a thousand and one ways to record choirs.......I would agree that every voice is recorded seperately....yes...but also together..... using different micing techniques.....all the different vocal tracks would then be blended....the reason for recording solo voices is so the engineer has complete control over every sound as every sound or voice is different and needs different tweaking...it also gives the mixing engineer the ability place different voices in the stereo field of the track...example....the left side of the speaker or the right side...this allows for every frequency or pitch to have its own little place in the music so that it is audible...hope that makes sense...
I always look at recording and mixing like a pot of soup....you can either put all the ingredients in at once...but the problem with that is that each ingredient might have a different cooking time so you end up with some mashy potatoes and some meat that is not quite soft enough.....if you let it go too long all the ingredients just sort of become one and taste the same...
or you can cook each individual ingredient seperately and bring it all together at the end...so you still get the same dish but you can taste each individual ingredient as it was meant to taste.
You're a great cook... I mean sound engineer!
An yes, I agree! It's great to have someone here on the forum who has expierence with this type of thing!
