Several wizards of the recording industry were kind enough to offer the pearls of their hardwon know-how to MusicTech.net. On recording guitar groups, John Leckie advocates using two mics and using them super-close to the sound source.Bob Clearmountain believes in the unglamorous act of prsctice, noting that when he was starting he would go in and cut mini demos, using every kind of instrument. Benge advises saving the crackles and other supposed 'bad noise.'
Instead of using a delay, or a panning plug-in, Matt Lange's tip is to record the same sounds twice and then pan left or right. Paul Thomson and Christian Henson offered their experience in creating epic sound. The trick, according to the duo, is not to record everything at a high volume. Rather, it pays to record it all at a low dynamic and then layer the low dynamic sound to achieve real artistry.
Key Takeaways:
