Audio-Technica has added to its series of educational videos exploring different aspects of mic techniques and mic placement.
The videos illustrate various tips and tricks for capturing audio in real-world applications, demonstrating them with selections from its own microphone catalogue. Specifically, the new installment of videos focuses on mic recording basics for various instruments including banjo, brass instruments, dobro, mandolin, organ, piano, saxophone, small ensembles, stereo techniques, strings and woodwinds. Earlier videos have focused on recording basics (ten videos, including vocals, guitar and percussion) and drum miking techniques (ten videos). The videos can be viewed separately or as part of playlists on Audio-Technica’s YouTube channel.
‘We released a series of videos with microphone recording basics and drum miking techniques that were so well-received that we decided to round out the series with ten additional videos featuring other popular instruments and recording methods,’ says Audio-Technica Marketing Director, Gary Boss. ‘We feel that with the final installment in this series, A-T has created a comprehensive guide to microphone basics for virtually any application. You don’t need to be a beginner to learn tips from the “basics” videos – there’s something there for all skill levels.’
