London Recording Studio Life !! 

Here at The Coolest recording Studio in South London - we got the creation craving! We just Have to make new, interesting & exciting recording & mixing devices for our excellent clients.
Our most recent research has led us to develop a set of microphones (Coppermics - made out of copper!) the formats of which do not appear to be readily available on the market.
You can of course get mics spec built - but boy does this cost a ton of moolah & takes ages - so .... we put our heads together & came up with This beauty - the Coppermic King!

Microphone - The King - for vocals - guitar - drums

Coppermic The King

All three capsules are identical in tone & volume - the centre mic picks up the centre image of the audio you're recording, and the left & right capsules pick up the stereo information.
You should always eq the centre mic with a slight (1-3 db) boost at the fundamental frequency - and cut the left & right sides between 120 hz & 155 hz depending on the source material - this will mean that when you boost or cut the side microphones you will either add or subtract "air" from the recorded signal - & thus manipulate it to sound perfect in the mix!
It's pretty amazing on vocals & guitar. Even though you're recording a mono sound source - the addition of air from the sides makes it sit in the mix much more naturally - a bit of nice compression is all it generally needs to fit in perfectly with no (or hardly any ) added reverb.
Also - superb on drums & gorgeous on classical instruments / sections.
Here's another pic of The King without the foam windcovers - which are only put in place to protect the capsules from plosives or wind noise.

Rudimentary Electric Bass Recording - Puttin' the Big into Booty!

Image
Here at the Coolest Recording Studio in London Town - we do like a big fat bootifull low end - as much as we like melodic mids & tingling highs - & while there are a gazillion mixing / production tricks to make the bass sit nice, pop out or groove summore - you always gotta start out with the basics - & get the badass tracked. First thing's first - get your bass player settled - doesn't matter if they're sitting or standing - they're gonna want to see the drummer - or at least the control room. Plug the bass into a DI ( Direct Injection ) box before any pedals or fx units they may be using - you want a good clean signal going to your recorder - you can use this as is to mix in with the mic'd up amp - you may want to process it with effects or software amp emulations - or indeed you may want to run it into a different amplifier and re record a different tone later down the line. Here's a pretty good quality di: You just plug into t...

Mic Pre's - Putting Flavour In The Mix!

Image
Here at The Coolest Recording Space in London Town - we got all kinds of studio shazzle - mixers / compressors / eq's - but for audio capture, the most important thing aside for the mics - are mic preamplifiers. They come in all shapes & forms - from lovely vintage tube pre's that warm up the sound of an instrument or space to super fast solid state units that capture transient material (like metal drums or fast picked acoustic guitar) to transformer based pre's that you can distort at the input to add bloom & energy to an audio source. This is a Vortexion tube preamp as used by Joe Meek & the Who back in the 50's & 60's - beautiful for recording drums, guitars, vocals & ambient spaces with ribbon microphones. They were broadcast quality units that add a rich, fullness to the mic chain. You can also use them to pleasantly saturate vocals etc in post production. vortexion   These Ampex 602 units came out of an old tape recorder...
