  • Sylvia Massy, Taylor Hawkins and over 60 different microphones - this is what the first Galaxy 64 Synergy Core recording session looked like. The mood has been set, Sylvia has prepared her setup and the Dante audio interface is ready to unpack the rich tapestries of the mics’ unique sound. Take a behind-the-scenes look at the process of making Taylor Hawkins’ “One And The Same”.

    • @nikolaygeorgiev41
      @nikolaygeorgiev41 3 года назад +14

      You don't have to use all mics at the same time. The best part of drum recording in a room like this is to swap or bring in/out different room mics for different sections of the song. And then there were two sets to be comapred... So no, no phase issues really. She certainly knows what she's doing :)

      When you say “phase issues” do you mean things losing perceived volume (phasing out) as they are spread too thin in stereo? Still have yet to discover these phase issues I’m always hearing people mention.

    • @TomMcCaffrey
      @TomMcCaffrey 3 года назад +2

      @@NRG2 when you record two or more mics on one source, the distance of the mics to the source will determine how long the sound takes to reach the mic. So if two mics pick up a sound at different times the soundwaves can cancel each other out when summed together, which is what “phasing” means

    • @VaudeoProductions
      @VaudeoProductions 3 года назад +1

      @@NRG2 and commonly you'll hear a loss in frequencies which in turn causes a loss in volume/body. Another way to understand phasing is to think about when a drummer hits a snare, when his stick hits the head, the initial transient/waveform from a top mic will curve downward first because the sound pressure is moving away from the mic initially, and then the opposite for a bottom mic as the pressure/waves move toward the mic initially. If you don't flip the phase/polarity of either mic, the snare will sound thin, missing body especially in the low end/low mids. As soon as you flip one or the other, that snare should instantly sound like it's supposed to, and of course everything will sound even better if all mics are in phase together and closely aligned.

How well does it integrate? Amazing mic collection though...It will be interesting to have only Antelope Modelling mics instead of having 60+ different mics for flavour.
