Bina Nusantara University 3 MULTICHANNEL RECORDING INPUT MODULES –THE VERTICAL/SLIDEFADER It uses because the position of a bank of slide faders is easier to perceive at a glance than are the positions of several dials. –INPUT SELECTION CONTROLS These include mic levels and line level seleectors

Bina Nusantara University 4 MULTICHANNEL RECORDING INPUT MODULES –SOUND SHAPERS Consists of Equalizers and Filters. Equalizers alters the frequency patterns of a n audio sources. Filters eliminates frequencies of a certain range. –PAN POT It varies the amount of signal sent to each side of the stereo signals. It is used in final mixdown.

Bina Nusantara University 5 MULTICHANNEL RECORDING INPUT MODULES –SOLO The solo mutes other inputs so that channel being soloed can be heard alone. –BUS DELEGATION A bus is a junction of circuits. Any number of input channels can be routed into a particular bus in the output section of the console.

MULTICHANNEL RECORDING OUTPUT BUSES –Send the signals to the tape machine and to the monitor. –It allows the signal assigned to each bus to be altered in volume, and some effects can also be added at the output level. MONITOR CONTROL –Its governed the signal flow to the loudspeakers. FURTHER NOTE ABOUT MULTICHANNEL CONSOLE –It has the ability to shape sound and assign particular signals to certain tracks, it system gives great flexibility to the recordist and allows remixing of the program material. ROLE OF MULTITRACK RECORDING –Sometimes it encountered by radio station personnel

STEREO There are two master channels for stereo, usually designated as the left and the right channels. It is popular because the balance between left and right gives a feeling of location in space.

RECORDING MUSIC TOTAL SOUND RECORDING MICROPHONES TECHNIQUES –COINCIDENT MIKING Involves crossing two cardioid mics. It imitates the way ears hear and results in the kind of sound you would hear sitting in the middle of the house. –SPACED-PAIR MIKING It makes you get a very broad sound. –MIDDLE SIDE MIKING It requires a special device known as a phase inverter to add the signal together properly

RECORDING MUSIC ISOLATED COMPONENT RECORDING; its about how can the mic pick up only one instrument. –FOR SINGERS An acoustic filter is frequently put between the vocalist and the mic to minimize the possibility of mic popping or sibilance. –FOR DRUMS A separate mic for each unit; or often with a crossed pair. –FOR PIANOS Pointing a mic toward the open top of a grand piano.

RECORDING MUSIC –FOR STRINGS Pointing the mic toward the sounding hole. –FOR BRASS It is usually miked near the bell because all the sound exits from the bell –FOR WOODWINDS Most of a woodwind’s sound exits from the finger holes, so that is where the mic belongs –FOR ENSEMBLE WORKS Place a mic on each instrument, or a mic for sections

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT AND IT USES IN RADIO PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT –EQUALIZERS It alters the frequency response of an audio signal. It can be used to boost or to cut down certain frequency ranges. Graphic equalizer allows you to seta graphic representation of the response curve you would like to create. Parametric equalizer allows you to select one frequency and boost or cut just that frequency or that and surrounding frequencies.

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT AND IT USES IN RADIO PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT –FILTERS Low-pass filter, allows lower frequencies to pass but chops off selected higher frequencies. High-pass filter, used to eliminate a rumble. –COMPRESSORS AND LIMITERS The attack time (length of time it takes for the compressor to kick in after a particular sound affects it) The release time (the length of time that compressor takes to let the signal return to its previous level) Limiters (useful for keeping sudden loud sounds from overmodulating the signal)

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT AND IT USES IN RADIO PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT –EQUPMENT FOR NOISE REDUCTION DOLBY SR DBX –EFFECTS PROCESSORS To make SFx –SPATIAL ENHANCERS Produce a signal that gives the impression of having greater presence or a larger spatial environment.

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT AND IT USES IN RADIO PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES –REVERB –ECHO –FORWARD ECHO –PAN POTTING

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT AND IT USES IN RADIO PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES –CHANGING SPADE –DOUBLE TRACKING –GATTING –NORMALIZING
