Please, how will sound a mix made in a farm ...?

[(DC)]

english?

If I translated what you said right... then a recording in an open field will sound like.... a recording in an open field. Very open. And Fieldish... lol.

Really ? Oh , ok !!

Sounds like fun but considering that you couldn't get away with most condenser mics outside even on a calm day you would need to make some compromises in terms of mic choice (dynamics and shotguns with heavy duty windscreens). A lot of those early reflections (and later ones too) are what give a rich sound IMO so I would expect it would be a bit stark. The effect would probably be a cool one. Like singing around the campfire...make sure its on a night with crickets...

Best,

Hi, I understood, that the question is concerning a Mixing session, not a recording one!?
In an open field you are going to record pretty much what you hear in your headphones (if they are relatively good and you carry them).

I also think that could be a very interesting experiment to monitor and perform a mix in an open field!!

Yes Joaquin, just the mix...The engineer, the mix board , the monitors ( no headphones ) , all this action made in a open field !

Having mixed probably 200 live shows out of doors, you will be judicious in your mic placement, EQ and windscreens- and get great results. I think you should do it, and I expect that if you do you will have a great time! Schedule it for GREAT WEATHER.

are you putting down a surface like plywood? Sounds like an interesting idea, but some of the basic control room concerns come to mind, like the relationship between the board and the monitors... ambient noises levels... stable clean power... I know you don't like computers, so having tape machines or other electronics exposed to the elements makes me nervous, but... having never tried mixing outdoors myself, I am interested in the results... sounds like fun..

Yes Lewis Wu, this is exactly the point i think, because all acoustic treatment inside the studio its for "reverb control " and all people always telling bad bass traps or celing high or difusors not balanced in frequency etc...Nobody happy with inside acoustic treatment. So , im imagining do the mix in a open field, e. You did capture the "spirit" of my thread.Thanks.
