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.

Recording Sweet & Beautiful Vocals 1 - The Ribbon Mic Trick

Image
Here at The Coolest Recording Space in London Town - we get a whole bunch of vocalisers - from full on rock gospel belters to sofly spoken folkists - & they all generally need one thing - attention to detail. There's not One go to mic for any session - but you can betcha life that the Shure SM7 is a good place to start for most sessions - to test the waters so to speak. It's got a good full range - and just sounds excellent - especially if you've got someone who doesn't have great recording technique - like your live singers etc. We always double it up with either a condenser or tube microphone to add either variety of tone or airiness - looks a bit like this. The sm7 is sung into from about 5-6 inches away - the tube or condenser mic is set further away to pick up more air. Another great trick is to set up either an omni condenser or ribbon microphone & face the side to the singer - this means the voice will hit the side of the mic body & e

Creative Miking for Larger Than Life Space Creation !!!

Here at The Coolest Recording Space in London Town - we got The Science! You can't always rely on the luxury of a huuuuge space to record your drums / guitars or bass in - so how do you make a drum kit sound huge - in a not so huge space? Well ..... there are tons of ways to expand audio in post production using phase (non) alignment, compression, delays/reverbs - transient shapers etc - but all these methods can get to sounding a bit Processed ! - how do we achieve a nice - natural sounding drum kit recording - by using a Big Assed ribbon mic! - & a tasty eq (either at source or in production). So - you got a coupla spot mics on the drum skins - and a nice pair of overheads to capture the stereo spread - you're nearly there! What makes the difference though - is planting a large diaphragm ribbon mic right above the snare at overheads height - or - right above where the kick, snare & rack tom meet. You can control the toms & mid content by equalising out
