Recording Task
Our task was to record
different instruments in different locations with different microphones, we
recorded with an XLR cable plugged into an Olympus LS-100 recording device.
For our mics we used a AKG
C1000s Condenser for mono recordings and two Shure SM58 Dynamic’s for stereo
recordings, we put these in two separate mic stands. To record the guitar we
put the two Shure’s facing the sound hole and did the same with the AKG. In the
studio we also used a Rode NT2-A Condenser.
Location wise we recorded in
Open Air, The Studio, The Hall and a Classroom

Within the recordings of our
open-air recordings you can hear slight background noise, including wind,
however this was not the case with the studio because everything is exported
and recorded professionally. In the hall and the classroom we didn’t experience
much background noise, as there wasn’t any wind. The rooms were quite
soundproof too.
The stereo recordings
sounded more professional than the mono ones because with stereo you have a
surrounding effect, this creates a higher quality sound as it caters to both
your ears. The overall quality of the recordings could be improved by taking
our time more and ensuring that there isn’t any way that noises outside the
room can be heard.
