I put down a guitar track for one of my songs. We put the tube amp in the storage closet with a TS2 at the back of the amp and a beyer at the left of the amp really close. This sounded really nice. We also used an EV308 to the right of the amp but we trashed it. I played the guitar in the middle of 110 while the amp was in the closet and we recorded the actual guitar with a TS1. We did this because it was a hollow body electric guitar and we wanted to pick up the acoustic tone as well. Worked nicely! I plan to record vocals with a TS2 soon!

Recording a track with acoustic guitar and vocals. Recorded them separately Used a spaced pair of a Fathead at the bridge and a 441 at the 12th fret. I also had the TS1 up for vocals which I turned on to record the guitar. This turned out to be a great idea. Panned the 441 hard right and the Fathead hard left for audience perspective. Got a beautiful, full and warm guitar sound which he artist was quite pleased with. Recorded the vocals with just a TS1 and it sounds great! Hope to record vocal harmony tracks soon!

This was my favorite project so far in the class. We added a cymbal roll to the build up to the chorus peak. A total of 4 cymbal rolls recorded with the Fathead. We also added a tambourine which we played along with the snare which we put a slight delay on. It was a very crisp satisfying sound and I believe our additions influenced the song positively.

This was my first attempt at mixing on the api board in the recital hall. I did basic panning, level changes and balances, as well as added EQ and reverb. I was amazed at how many tracks there were to manipulate. I don’t even understand what it takes to mix a song to the point where the producer got it to. This probably would have been easier if I knew how to use compressors!
