How did I just now stumble into this channel? Honestly this could be the best recording lesson channel on KZfaq.

I've always done the mistake of not putting delay after duplicating the recording left and right! Always thought stereo is just sound producing from both left and right. This gave me an AHHHH moment, great job man! Keep up the good work! TQ!

Great vid. I'm glad you showed the example of how identical tracks panned does not actually create stereo, as that's a common beginner myth

Thank you very much. I really do not want to redo those vocals. They were done so well, but I made a mistake when I did not pan them left and right. I double them and I have two leads in the left and two Background vocals in the right. Its stereo only when they are singing the same lyrics. But I know from listening to my Jazz that is not going to jive. Thank you again for the concise information.

hey you have UREIS - many moons ago i was proud owner of these - one would have the illusion of having a good sounding snare on the genelecs then you would switch to them UREIS and they would tell you: "naah my son try again"

If I want to record everyday, travel, walk tour, KZfaq that talk from behind the camera and at some distance, I want to step into record elements for game and vocal and instruments for music too, after some research, I come to this 4 setups, Sennheiser MKE 440, MKE 600, Line Audio CW4 and Deity HD-TX, the video will be record using Panasonic HC-X1500 camcorder, is this good minimal run and gun setup that deal with untreated room too? When to record in stereo and mono in my cases, music instruments and vocal all in stereo or each in mono, how about surround sound, do I need omnidirectional mic to create surround sound, or can just make a binaural setup to cover everything? Some say stereo mic not good for vocal, true? Shouldn't walk tour be surround sound, why people use directional mic for that? One KZfaqr say pencil condenser cover wider field by not cancel the sides like shotgun mic, is this mean I can use just one pencil condenser to cover all the above stereo and mono needs? Should I get both or one between MKE 600 and CW4? Does the MKE 440 stereo good enough/better and I don't need two CW4? Can the CW4 catch same/further distance voice/sound compare to MKE 600? Do I need the shotgun mic or CW4 will do to record outdoor sound for game elements? How do I record my behind the camera voice if I use the MKE 440 stereo mic facing Front when walking, attach CW4 to HD-TX facing rear or 1 CW4 front 1 CW4 back? Can I use one of the MKE 440 stereo mics as mono shotgun mic? The camcorder has an option handle with 2 XLR inputs, do I need it, can I use it as music elements recorder? Do I need 32 bits? If I just want a small XLR recorder and not going to use the wireless transmission, is HD-TX worth it? Is it suitable to just attach a pencil condenser CW4 mic to it to record singing vocal and instruments that way and a MKE 600 shotgun mic to it to record elements and sound effects for game development? Can I record both the XLR and 3.5mm jack at same time in same and different tracks? Can I use it as a high res music player so I don't need to buy another dedicated music device which function just like an audio recorder that can't record high res audio but better at organisation to play music? Any other recorder recommendations?

what would happen recording in stereo with one mic..without center your vocals

@heythere6983 2 жыл бұрын

So can I record a guitar amp with two microphones but have it set up for mono somehow? Ideal so I can have two mics, on one side and then do a second recording, with two mics on another side? Also, when compressing a stereo recording, does one actually need two compressors or can one side of the recording be processed and then the other side?

@MrBinthestudio 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure I understand what you mean in your first question. Are you micing the front and back of the amp? For your second question, yes, if you are compressing a stereo recording, you either need two compressors or a dual-channel compressor

@AT-wl9yq Жыл бұрын

"So can I record a guitar amp with two microphones but have it set up for mono somehow? Ideal so I can have two mics, on one side and then do a second recording, with two mics on another side?" There's no need to unless the only thing you are recording is the guitar amp, and nothing else. There are 2 ways you can make a stereo recording. It can be done naturally or simulated. A Natural stereo recording works like our eyesight. We see in stereo. We have 2 eyes, but our brain combines the information gathered from both of them. This does 2 things. It allows us to see one complete field of view, not 2 separate views for each eye. Also, when both images from our eyes are combined, it gives us our depth perception. Try covering one of your eyes and walk around, and pick some things up. You'll notice that its a bit more work. When you put your hand out to grab something, you won't be as precise. You may need to make small adjustments to get your hand exactly where you need it to be. Sorry for the long explanation, but I have to go over all of this, or it won't make sense. When you get a pair of mics, and place them to the left and right of whatever it is you are recording, equal distances away (like a triangle), record them to their own track (don't combine them), and play them back at the same time, you have a true stereo recording. Now lets say you are recording a 4 piece band with 2 mics. A singer is standing in the middle, a drummer is directly behind the singer a few feet back, and one person is playing an instrument standing to the right of the singer, and the other to the left. When you make a stereo recording with 2 separate, independent channels, on playback you will perceive the 4 performers in space, as they were in real life. The singer will appear to be coming from directly between the 2 speakers. The drums will sound further away, and the 2 instruments will appear to be coming from each side of the singer. If you has just made a mono recording with both mics summed together, all 4 performers will appear to be right on top of each other, coming from directly between both speakers. All of the spatial information would be lost. Now to answer your question. Using just 2 mics to make an entire recording isn't practical in most cases. 99% of the time, multitrack recordings are how modern studios put tracks together. When you want to record your guitar amp, or any other instrument, you use one mic and make a mono recording of each instrument, or track. This was not mentioned in the video, and I believe is the source of the confusion. After each track is recorded, the engineer mixes all of the separate tracks to make the recording you listen to. During the mixing process, certain techniques are used to artificially "place" all of the different tracks in the recording to simulate a stereo experience. For example, if you want to make your guitar sound like it's coming from a position right of the singer, and furtherer back, the engineer will pan the guitar track to the right (more of the guitar sound will be coming out of the right speaker), to give its perceived lateral position. Other effects like delay, phase, reverb, etc..., can be used to make the guitar sound like its further back in position (depth). Simply put, the engineer is trying to replicate how the instruments would be placed in real life, or if a true 2 channel stereo recording was made. He should of mentioned in the video the differences between stereo and multitrack recordings, and that a multitrack recording is made using a bunch of individual mono recordings. Its counterintuitive to say that a stereo recording is made from recording in mono, but that's how multitrack recording works.

What if I recorded with a stereo mic and then summed it to mono, would it sound the same as if recorded on the mono setting on the mic? Good question right?

@MrBinthestudio 4 жыл бұрын

That depends on the mic. Which model are we talking about here?
