Acoustic Substitutions in integrated Recording Techniques
Lecture at Audio Engineering Society (AES), Swiss Section
The lecture on Acoustic Substitutions in integrated Recording Techniques shows, how one can create excellent recordings, integrating all aspects involved in the recording process, such as musician, instrument, room acoustics, room placement, microphone techniques, signal flow and others.
The common believe within the semi-professional recording industry is, that one has to acquire very expensive equipment and has to invest heavily in room acoustics, to do so. Relying too much on equipment and software can actually harm the overall technical and artistic outcome of the project. There is a clear tendency: the more one acquires knowledge of acoustics and production techniques, the more one strives in finding original, home-grown solutions.
This lecture was elaborated after working for over a decade within the most professional studios in Los Angeles and thereafter in developing Brazil, where local more holistic solutions are required.
