Mics – Orchestral Mockup

gh0stwrit3r · October 10, 2019

In this video we get a little bit personal. The microphone balance (settings) is a matter of taste. Some people like the big stage sound with lush strings and ambience. While others love the intimate much more dryer sound of a small room. In my opinion there’s no wrong or right, it’s a matter of what fits your composition the best.

Don’t forget to hit that like button if you appreciate this video. And sub to my channel if you’re interested in how to write orchestral music for film, tv and games. Or have an interest in sounddesign and sound recording.

Microphone options: close, decca tree and ambient

Samples are recorded with microphones. Orchestral libraries give you most of the time different microphone options: close, decca tree and ambient. Some libraries go even further with outriggers or other mic settings. Besides that some libraries give you also the option to use different types of microphones (ribbons etc).

So getting a microphone balance is certainly one of the things you want to achieve as a composer. It also can help you to get a more recognizable and more unique personal sound.
