Task 4 Bass and Vox
Bass Guitar:
The bass guitar was recorded using a DI box. The bass guitar was pre-conditioned on the bass guitars pick-ups. I wanted to emphasise the bass input as clearly as possible rather than having to condition it within the project which may have resulted in the signal being artificial sounding.
Vocals:
The vocals were recorded using an Audio Technica 4033a. This microphone I find has a very nice pick-up pattern which is brilliant for vocals as well as many other acoustic instruments. I recorded the lead vocal two hand widths away from the microphone with the 100hz roll off activated. The pop shield was about half an hands width away from the microphone so turbulence didn’t effect the overall recording. This distance I found was the best resulting sound after trying different distances of both the vocalists and the pop shield.
