Jazz music can be one of the most rewarding styles to record. Many times, the performances are all done live, with the players in the same room, moving the same air. In this tutorial, Grammy Award Winner, Fab Dupont, shows how he approaches the complexities of having all of the players in close proximity to each other and adapts to the player's needs.
Learn how to:
- Record a Jazz Drum Kit with 3 mics
- Record an upright bass to get a balance of low-end definition and clarity in the individual notes
- Record a Jazz Pianist
- Manage bleed from players in close proximity
Once you have seen the video, download the stems and listen to the different microphones and test your skills at mixing the session!
