Audio Class: Music Recording

Mixing & Monitoring

• The best mix for recording (audio and/or video) is a Recording Mix.
• A Recording Mix is usually not the same as the PA mix (House Mix)
  • House mix contains less (or none) of instruments which are loud acousticaly.
  • Some sources are not miked at all (electric instrument amps)
• Sometimes a (good) sound mixer can create a good House Mix for the customers and simultaneously a good Recording Mix on one of the Sub busses. (But not bloody likely!)
• It is difficult to impossible to monitor a mix well in the same space as the performance.
