Art college chapel session Wednesday 9 October



We started the lesson by setting up microphones for the artists, then when they arrived we went through each artists sound and set the board up for them, arranging EQ, gain, pad and phantom power appropriately, using pad to lower the volume sometimes and gain to raise it, also activating phantom power only when there was a condenser microphone. When everything was set up the group had a practise, they originally tried to record with no guide vocals meaning the people playing instruments weren't organised, this was sorted when they decided to have the vocalist sing and play the keyboard whereas before she had only been playing the keyboard. This improved the group a lot and after a couple of takes like this they were happy with this. After this we started adding extra vocals and keyboard to the music, after they listened to it the group decided to remove one lot of vocals and were then happy with it.
We packed up putting down microphone stands, putting away microphones, tying up cables and hanging up headphones, then we finished.
