OneMic Series - The David Grisman Quintet - Del and Dawg

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- OneMic - the minimalist recording series by John Cuniberti demonstrates that an entire band can be recorded with only one stereo microphone in one take. Each recording session is shot in HD video on a Sony a7RII by filmmaker Nathaniel Kohfield. What makes this series so different from other live performance videos is that the artist is in complete control of his/her presentation. This means that the sound, balance, dynamics and stereo image is decided upon at the moment of creation, not in post-production. The artist (band) is responsible for the final product. There is no editing of the audio or video. It’s as honest as it can be including imperfections. This organic presentation isn’t limited to “acoustic” music as seen with live classical and folk music. In this series veteran recording engineer John Cuniberti records bands with electric guitars and drums that would normally require a multi-mic, multi-track approach. This is not the first time this has been done but this technique was quickly forsaken soon after the multi-track tape recorder was invented and with it a loss of a level of musical intimacy. The OneMic series demonstrates the positive aspects of the minimalistic recording process of the 1930s but will be captured on modern stereo recording equipment.
The best musicianship I've ever heard... They actually sound like they're having a heated conversation while also balancing their levels perfectly...
If I could like this twice I would.
Thanks for listening
I cannot think of a better recording of flute. Everything else was great too! Spirited and enjoyable!!!
Wow, thank you!
This just could not be better!!!
Thank you Geno.
First time I saw a live performance of Dawg Music- was 1977’ Sacramento State auditorium. A young Mark O’Connor on Guitar. I was hooked. David still has the timing and touch👍
I commented on the other Grisman video I think but I keep coming back. As a recording engineer of 30+ years, even with RUclips's compromised sound these are some of the nicest, most natural recordings I've heard.
I know this method is not right for many, if not most situations but wow, it's just so real and immersive and as a recording technique something I want to explore. Alan Blumlein was a very clever and elegant designer and these recordings do him proud.
Thanks for sharing!
This is one of the most beautiful audio recordings I have heard. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Wow, thank you!
Fantastic performance of David Grisman quitet ❤️👍
Dawg is the best musician on the planet. His work with Del is superb.
yep
Yep.
Hi John, I think this is the most amazing of all your OneMic recordings. The musicianship and the dynamics of the band are just insane. All the videos are great but this one is beyond my comprehension.
Wow, thanks!
Wow...great recording and great playing!
Thanks for listening Whitman.
Ah! To see them and hear them. The looks they share, the musical interplay. So very fine. Many thanks. P.S. Steve Gutenberg sent me. (And 100,000 others.) 😉❤️
Man, this Dawg is not a one trick pony!
Another amazing recording and performance. Thanks! This recording series is really inspiring
Glad you enjoy it!
Amazing guys. Great tune and what a sound!
WOW WOW WOW...they're ALL on FYYYYre!!!!

Thank you!
Mighty fine
Thanks for listening
grisman still is killin' it....I wonder if that's "killer" he's playing there. btw love the excellent recording
Yes. Still killing it. That's 'Crusher' he is playing there.
@@BenAdam-om2hr ah yes.. thanks for the correction, actually knew that but misspoke there..
You're not by strange coincidence a YMS man?
@@cargotrailerkenny No worries. That's an A++ mandolin. I've played it, and it's awesome! What is a YMS man?
@@BenAdam-om2hr yonder mountain string band. NM it was a total long shot that you are connected with them. But I was right that I sensed you were close enough to him at some time to play that mandolin... And know it's name..
Love it...
I’m sorry to do this and I’m not an asshole , but I worship the Dawg!! the title is ‘Del and Dawg’. He penned this tune for he and Del McCoury
thank you - my mistake - corrected
@@onemic-theminimalist still says Dell though, it's Del 💯
👏👏👏wonderful
Thank you very much
Another stunning recording!
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing recording !¬¬¬¬¬¬ It sure reminds me of the legendary work of my recording Hero & Grammy Award winner Kavi Alexander of Water Lily Acoustics back in the nineties !
Thank you John.
I loved those recordings! I treasure the ones I have. I know what you mean, there is an intimacy and an excellence here too.
Fantasitc as always. Was this the R88A or R88?
R88
These videos are great. Did you instruct the musicians (if they can) to move closer and further from the mics when they needed to be "spotlighted"? I guess they can play quieter too. It's pretty amazing to do that in tandem when each performer essentially listens from their own spots.
Yes, I did instruct them on how to work the mic for solos and then backing off.
@@onemic-theminimalist wow great job. Thanks for doing this I really enjoyed the video.
È la terza volta che guardò questo video bravissimo è tutto live musicisti al massimo i brani di questi video si possono acquistare ?
Le canzoni non sono disponibili da sole.
Fabulous! I see in most of your other video's how you avoid having musicians (or more accurately their sound ie: their amp if electric) in the two side 90 degree segments. In this video it looks like they are in a more or less complete circle, which has me wondering about how you managed the two out of phase segments?
They were instructed by me to stay out of the dead lobes and I had marks on the floor to guide them. I think it's a bit deceiving with the camera angles and lighting.
@@onemic-theminimalist Thanks for the reply. Got it, and understood - and I guess that it has to be. Marks on the floor is a great tip.
I love these One Mic video's, they have me experimenting with a similar thing, and totally loving the process. Cheers!
Sounds incredible!
Might I ask about the signal chain?
I'm assuming the AEA R88A (or was it the passive R88?), but which preamplifier? AEA? Millenia? Which AD converter? What made you choose the mic/mic-pre that you chose (active vs. passive, etc.)?
Thank you for for creating and sharing such fantastic recordings!
AEA R88 - Millenia HV3c - Burl Mothership A/D - Pro Tools 96/24
@@onemic-theminimalist Thanks! I use the Burl Mothership too. I'm about to buy either the R88 or the R88A, and trying to decide on a signal chain (which preamp to use).
- What made you choose Millenia over the AEA?
- What made you go back to the passive version after using the active version?
Thanks!!
Schatzy for the win!
Are any of these recordings available on CD or vinyl?
No, not at this time.

how come the rythm guitar comes out of the right side, but when he solos, it's coming out of the left side?
Because I rotated the pans at that point.
@@onemic-theminimalist If there were no video, would you have done that? The pan matches what we're seeing as viewers, correct - so the right on screen is panned left? Just trying to understand. This is so fun and amazing. I love all this new music!
@@bcampagnolo6759 I would not move pans in an audio-only set-up. However, the stereo image is reversed on the backside of the mic.
