For the first night of recording, my girlfriend came with and worked the recording button while I played piano then sang. I made the mistake of not taking pictures that night. Or maybe I took them on my girlfriend’s phone…

The second night I was by myself. I learned a lot and got to play the drums for the first real time! So much fun. It turned out pretty well.

Recording Amy

Pictures

I was able to record my friend, Amy, while she played piano and sang. I used the Blumlein technique with two Fatheads underneath the piano. I didn’t really care for it in the end. I put the multi-use TS-1 mic looking into the piano. It was pleasant. For her voice I used a Sennheiser 421 and an AKG 460B. They were nice. Everything went well except one of the monitors wasn’t working. We both ended up playing Mad World together.

These Speakers are so unforgiving!

Yesterday, I played a drop-in assignment we had on week 6 and it sounded great on my monitors at home. Not so much in these powered Mackie speakers. Lesson learned: mix heavy low frequencies at least around 80db. I almost blew out the speakers! It was Terrible! (Charles Barkley voice)
