Acoustics

General technique

1. A microphone should be used whose frequency response will suit the frequency range of the voice or instrument being recorded.
2. Vary microphone positions and distances until you achieve the monitored sound that you desire.
3. In the case of poor room acoustics, place the microphone very close to the loudest part of the instrument being recorded or isolate the instrument.
4. Personal taste is the most important component of microphone technique. Whatever sounds right to you, is right.
