Taking advantage of an SD memory card

T

he CD-2e lets you record on SD memory cards as well as on

C

D-R/RW discs. I

f

you use an SD memory card, you'll be able

t

o freely organize and edit the songs. By taking advantage

of SD memory cards you can enjoy recording and creating

Recording a brass instrument

Minimize noise by

avoiding wind pressure

When recording a brass instrument, placing the mics

directl

y

in front of the bell ma

y

cause noise to appear

in the recording. This is a distinctive type o

f

noise

produced b

y

the mic due to the pressure of wind

blown out of the bell. To avoid this, it’s important to

p

lace the mics at an a

pp

ro

p

riate distance

f

or record-

ing. Woodwind instruments pla

y

ed b

y

pressing ke

y

s

w

ill also allow some sound to escape

f

rom the keys

t

hemselves. Place the mics slightl

y

to the left or right,

rather than directly in

f

ront o

f

the instrument.

Keep the mics at a distance

to minimize breath noise

W

hen recording a brass instrument, you may notice

u

nwanted sounds such as the openin

g

or closin

the keys, or breath sounds. Moving the mics away

Recording a string instrument

Get a rich sound by allowing

distance from the instrument

T

he distinctive resonance of strin

g

instruments such as

the violin is created by the combination o

f

the sound

of the strin

g

s themselves with the resonances of the

instrument’s body. The point is that you should place

eters)

ront o

f

the instrument (

or a violin,

Emphasize the body or strings

If

you want a deeper sound, aim the mics at the

the other hand, i

you want to emphasize the scrap-

i

hen recording your band in a rehearsal studio, the

m

ic input level (p. 6) is crucial. However, if

y

our PA

a

nd amps are too loud, lowering the input level may

n

ot

b

gh

to avoi

istortion. T

h

is is

b

the sound level has alread

Recording a acoustic guitar

Minimize the room resonances and

capture the sound of the guitar itself

T

he acoustic guitar is a

f

amiliar instrument that can

ly

p

l

a

y

e

d

at

h

ome. But w

h

en p

l

a

y

e

d

in

a

typical room, the sound may resonate excessively,

bl

urring t

e tona

speci c pitches to be inappropriatel

y

accentuated.

T

ry c

is

not desirable either. You can use reverb to add s

p

atial

a

mbience.

Record a good balance of the

strings and body resonance

T

he enchanting sound o

f

the acoustic guitar is a

combination of the rich mid- and low-range bod

y

r

esonances together with the highs produced by the

p

lucked strings. But if the bod

y

resonances are exces-

s

ivel

y

emphasized, the result will sound mudd

y

. Place

t

h

e mic a

b

out 20–40 inc

h

es (50 cm to 1 meter) away

from the

g

uitar to

et a well-balanced recordin
