This week was bass week, Mihail was on the bass guitar. The people on the desk set the input gain and the levels for the drum track and bass track, doing this means that the bass comes into the right level in the song.
Mics used:
AKG D112 – This mic is typically used to pic up the lower frequencies which a bass guitar or bass drum would give off. This was placed at the centre of the cone, to pick up the low end of the bass guitar.
Beyerdynamic M201 – This mic is placed near the edge of the cone, to pic up another signal, however, this caused phase issues as the two signals were almost in phase with eachother, so the quality was reduced, to correct this we flipped the phase on one of the mice
DI box – This DI is connected from the amp to the studio.
We didn’t need to use any headphones because Mihail was in the dead room where the speakers can feed the sound through, however in later takes he used headphones so he could hear the drum track clearer.
