SPIRIT APPLICATIONS
Small/Home Studio Recording
Most small studios employ computer-based digital recording systems. Although weve
shown stereo inputs and outputs, most hard disk systems will allow multitrack
recording, sub-mixing digitally to a stereo output. Using aux rather than main outputs
allows the input levels to the soundcard to be set independently of the monitoring
levels, and ensures that feedback through the card is avoided.
Studio Recording
There are few hard and fast rules in the studio; if it sounds right, it is right. Although
for simplicity weve shown three mics on the drum kit, you might use a simple hung
stereo pair, or multi-mic the entire kit. When recording vocals, avoid unwanted pops by
using a fine mesh in front of the mic.
