Library: The Library tab displays the directory to which all Mixcraft’s loops are stored. Here, users
can change the directory to another folder. Loops can be imported using the “+ Import” button at
the top right of the Library window.
A window will open with a small “Import From” window. Next to this widow is a “Browse” button.
Find the loop and import it.
RECORDING TECHNIQUES
Vocal Recording: A good condenser microphone with a wide diaphragm will suffice for
recording vocalists. Condenser microphones can vary in price but educators should be able to
purchase a solid microphone for around $100 – 150. For a cleaner vocal recording, a pop filter
is recommended. The filter has a nylon screen that removes plosives. They may be relatively
inexpensive but are quite valuable during recording.
SOLO RECORDINGS
Posture: Students should stand up straight and speak or sing into the microphone without
swaying.
Position: Students should stand a few inches away from the microphone. Standing too close can
distort a recording; while standing far away will create a quiet recording. Touching or tapping the
microphone is not recommended.
If plosives or pops are being recorded, use a pop filter or have the vocalist sing at an off-centered
angle to the microphone.
GROUP RECORDINGS
Posture: Students should stand up straight and speak or sing into the microphone without swaying.
Position: Students can form a semicircle around the microphone and sing in its direction. Listen
to a test recording and note whether the recording sounds balanced: are there any voices that are
popping out? If so, try arranging the students so that each voice blends.
Instrumental Recording: For the recording of instruments, three types of microphones are used
-- dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones. Dynamic microphones can withstand high
volumes during recording. Thus, for loud instruments such as amplifiers or drums, a dynamic
microphone is an excellent choice. For delicate and intimate instruments, such as an acoustic
guitar or solo violin, a condenser or ribbon microphone is the ideal piece of recording equipment.
SOLO RECORDINGS
There are two main approaches to miking an instrument -- spot miking and distant miking.
In spot miking, the microphone is placed a few inches away from the instrument. With this
technique, the transients of a sound are more pronounced; lower frequencies are easily picked up
(creating bass-heavy recordings); and the room ambiance is not printed on to the recording. With
distant miking, the microphone is placed a few feet away from the instrument. This method dulls
the transients of an instrument and captures the ambiance of the room. Depending on the desired
effect, educators and students can use both techniques when recording.
