One mic recording / AEA R88 Ribbon "Hear the Sound" by San Geronimo

On March 20th, 2016 I entered a studio and did something I have never done before as a recording engineer. I attempted to record a band with one stereo microphone. This technique puts a lot of pressure on the band to not only perform well but balance themselves as you would during the mixing process. A lot of time is spent arranging the players in the room, adjusting their levels and getting them comfortable with their mix. To be honest, I wasn’t sure if it could be done with electric guitars and drums - but it worked great. Thank you San Geronimo for putting up with me and bringing their A game to the session. Thank you 25th Street Recording and AEA Ribbon Mics for supplying me the room and microphone. Thank you Scott Bergstrom for giving me a hand on the session.
