Si vous n’êtes pas certain d’avoir besoin d’un micro de timbre sous la caisse claire, rien ne vous empêche de le choisir, de le positionner et de l’enregistrer. Vous déciderez au mixage, en toute objectivité, de l’utiliser ou non. Il en va de même pour le choix entre 2 types de micros sur lesquels vous manquez de recul ou d’expérience pour pouvoir vous décider ! Un peu comme c’est l’usage en musique classique, j’enregistre personnellement presque toujours plus de micros que je n’en n’utilise finalement. D’une manière générale, préférez toujours un traitement minimum à un lourd process en prise de son. Il en va de même pour une Eq mal évaluée ou trop fortement dosée. La gestion des gains Je m’efforce de régler mes gains sur le jeu réaliste du musicien. Ma console fétiche, la CS2000 d’Euphonix!

He has also made multitrack recordings of every show on their 26‑month world tour. Sam Inglis Photo: JG Harding "There's a lot to be said for having large amounts of loudspeakers,” says Jon Burton. "And big loudspeakers make proper bass noise. For the last two years, Burton has been front‑of‑house engineer on the Prodigy's Invaders Must Die tour, a role to which large amounts of loudspeakers and proper bass noise are both absolutely central. The Midas Touch Given the sheer scale of the National Bowl gig, not to mention the hi‑tech nature of the band's music, it comes as a surprise to find that Burton's front‑of‑house desk of choice is not only analogue, but verging on the vintage.

It's awful. There seems like a disturbance in the peformance's flow, audience members may cover their ears, people look for someone to blame - it really is the last thing you want. Here are a few helpful tips for setup and operation to help reduce the chance. 1) Mic positioning - near to source, bearing in mind pickup patterns The below graphic helps to demonstrate the pickup patterns of microphones in relation to foldbacks. Furthermore, if you can get the microphone as close as humanly possible to the source then you won't need to set the gain quite as high. 2) Check high levels A good idea is to make a mental note of troublesome mics or channels.

After reading through this entire thread, I am more horrified than I thought I would be. I have been tuning systems in movie theaters, dubbing stages, churches, and high end audio and home theaters for 20 years, and the way the original poster describes tuning a system for a room is not the way the pro's do it. First, EQ alone cannot do the job, it requires several acoustical tools.

EQ does great in the frequency domain, but fails miserably in the time domain. My practice is to always measure first, move seats or subs, measure again, add acoustical material, measure again, and the use EQ to tweak the final response. Back to Basics. It may not be obvious, but a P.A. system is a precision instrument.

Back to Basics

Similar to the way that various components contribute to the makeup of a fine musical instrument, each element of a P.A. is critical to the operation and sound of the system as a whole. When the subsystems have been properly designed and implemented, the machine functions smoothly and effortlessly, accurately interpreting the commands of the user. Fine-tuning a P.A., avoiding phase problems while increasing clarity, efficiency and dynamic range, can mean the difference between adequate and great sound. A tweak here and there to a graphic EQ can smooth out harshness in the mids or reduce boom in the bottom, helping reduce listening fatigue.
