| Hey there...
Geez... looking over all the credits of my illustrious compatriots makes me feel like the hobo in the group. My remote rig has never been more complicated than an Alesis HD-24, Grace and Sytek pres, Groove Tube/Oktava/CAD mics, and an Allen & Heath Mixwizard for monitoring.
And yet, people tell me the stuff sounds alright. I feel like I am riding the wave that's miniaturized and affordability-ized all recording gear and opened up the world of remote recording to just one guy with maybe 100 lbs. of gear in the back of his Jeep Cherokee.
And if I've learned anything... it's that your instincts: how to arrange the mics, what levels feel right, when the mixdown has become an exciting, living, breathing thing...
... are more important to the success of your endeavor than everything else combined. |
