MORE Tips from Inside Mix Gus Dudgeon on working with Paul Buckmaster's orchestral arrangements for Elton John's "Levon": "The challenge we made for ourselves was to try and marry a big orchestra with a rock 'n' roll section and make it work, and not have one of them lose out to another. We also had to make sure the piano, which is a difficult instrument to get through sometimes, still stood out on top. I would almost always book two or four Arco basses as well as the cello to add the real weight to the bottom end. I knew the kind of beef that came from basses from being a tape jockey for quite a few classical sessions. I was confident I could make it work. MORE Production manager/FOH engineer Lee Moro on miking Norah Jones' piano on the road: "I've tried everything -- 91s taped to the lid, C-ducer tapes, you name it. Norah plays really, really soft and has the monitors really, really loud, so any mic you put in there is going to pick up her vocal from the monitors. And no matter how big the stage, the setup is pretty tight and you get tons of drums through the piano. The bass is also right behind, so there's a lot of leakage from that, too. I have a Barcus Berry pickup in the piano for the monitors and sometimes I need it out front." MORE ADVERTISEMENT There's a lot more to TransAmerica Audio Group than gear. |
