Where does a mono room mic go?

Just like a spaced pair, a mono room mic can be placed as close or as far back from the source as you want. The closer to the source, the more direct sound you’ll capture and the further from the source, the more room tone you’ll achieve. Blending a close mic with a single room mic can often create the perfect tone.

Where should drum mic be placed in room?

Place a stereo mic placed about 6 feet in front of the drum kit at about 6 or 7 feet high. Angle the mic down at a 45 degree angle towards the middle of the kit like the figure on the left. Any mic will work in this position if a stereo mic isn’t available.

How far should a mic be from a wall?

And, if you refrain from standing more than the length of your feet away from the mic you can keep the input gain low enough to avoid amplifying ambient room noise captured in the sound. So therefore, the sweet spot we’re probably looking at is anywhere from about 2 to about 12 inches away from the microphone.

Where should ambient mics be placed?

Ambient miking is simply placing the mic far enough away from the sound source so that you capture more of the room sound (the reverb and delay) than the sound of the actual instrument in your recording.

Should I put my mic upside down?

The rationale behind hanging a mic upside down comes from tube mics. The heat rising from the tube can cause the diaphragm to change temperature over time, which will change the sound of the mic. Placing the tube above the capsule will let the heat rise without passing over the diaphragm.

How close should you sing to a mic?

2 to 3 inches
The most common mistake is holding the microphone too close or too far from the mouth. This can result in your singing sounding muffled and distorted or too distant or no vocal sound at all. To avoid distortion, the mic should be held no closer than 2 to 3 inches from their mouth during normal singing.
