About Location/GMEA Recordings Recording events on location is both challenging and rewarding. The approach can be said to be minimalist in that the fewest number of microphones are used to achieve the most satisfying results given the constraints imposed by the recording venue and the size of the performing group. Typical set-ups include the use of 24bit/192Khz and DSD Genex A/D converters fed by hand-built custom microphone pre-amps by Michael Grace of Boulder, CO. The digital signals are recorded to multi-track recorders by Genex (9000) and Zaxcom (DEVA). Microphones vary by location and program material and include Neumann M150s, Schoeps CMC6/MK 21s and 2Hs, Neumann KU-100 binaural “dummy head” stereo mic, Royer SF-12 stereo ribbon mic, hand-built large diaphragm Valvet mics by Dirk Brauner of Germany and a variety of other German, Russian and US microphones. If processing is applied it is done so subtly with custom built Pendulum “Vari-Mu” tube or CraneSong STC-8 compressor/limiters. All recordings are backed-up by two channel live mixes through Soundcraft M4 mixers feeding RME 24bit/96Khz A/D converters dithered and down-sampled feeding Marantz and Tascam CD burners. |
