I’ll be recording a live monthly session for BITBY this coming Sunday, featuring Philly’s very own Dreambook.
I’m planning on going as high-fidelity as possible, using my trusty OktavaMod MK-012s as a stereo pair, plus close micing the vocals with SM58s, the guitars with SM57s, and using a Countryman DI for the bass. I may also decide to throw an EV20 on the kick and a 421 on the snare if time allows. I find that the biggest challenge in regards to recording outside is keeping the breeze out of the mics. My OktavaMod MK-012s happen to sound really great but are very sensitive to the smallest amount of airflow. I’ll definitely be covering a lot of mic with foam pop filters, just to be safe. Fun!
Here is a BITBY monthly session that I recorded for Philly’s Psychic Teens last summer.
