In this masterclass, Daniel Dettwiler demonstrates the art of recording acoustic music. What are the key factors to consider when capturing a live performance with all musicians in one room? How do we address crosstalk and utilize bleed to create a natural sense of space? And what distinguishes this recording approach from a scenario where each musician is isolated?

Furthermore, all instruments were captured using a combination of vintage Neumann microphones and more affordable, contemporary models (Soyuz).

This masterclass offers a unique opportunity to learn from a seasoned professional and delve into the nuanced world of capturing the essence and authenticity of live acoustic performances.
