How To Record Vocals - Mic Placement

In the latest in the series of "how to" micro lectures, Jason de Wilde demonstrates different techniques for recording a vocal. In this lecture, we look at how changing the distance between microphone and sound source can dramatically affect the overall sonic texture of the recording. We also look at how a pop filter is used to improve the sound quality by reducing the "plosives" caused by "p" and "b" sounds.

Audio @ Aim
The Bachelor of Music (Audio Technology) is a thorough and complete study of sound engineering and music technology. Throughout all stages of the course students are taught theoretical concepts which are supported with practical audio classes. Students will learn to collaborate with other other AIM students including composers, musicians, performers and actors to complete major projects. Students have access to our state of the art recording studios to complete their assessments. They also have opportunities to work on the many additional recording projects such as the Best of AIM CD which is produced each year. Students further their musical knowledge and skills with practical and theoretical units. Students who want to focus on technical production skills should choose the Audio Major. Associate study options enable all audio students to either specialise or broaden their study program.

The major study units of this audio course combines three streams of study:

1. Audio Technology
These units focus on the theoretical aspects of sound engineering including; acoustics, perception of hearing, digital audio, sampling, electronics and system design.

2. Recording Technology
These units focus on the practical techniques of recording and mixing sound. Students undertake practical classes in the numerous recording studios at AIM. Students also complete their own recording projects in each of these units. Projects increase in complexity as students progress through the course.

3. Digital Technology
These units focus on the software used in the field of sound and music production. All units are undertaken in the Digital Media lab at AIM. Each student has access to a digital audio workstation to complete their classes.
