The Mastering Show #99 - Recording, mixing and mastering acoustic guitar (with Richard Durrant)
Description
Stereo, mono, binaural or surround-sound ?
I've worked with this episode's guest in all these formats and more over the many years we've been working together - but which does he prefer, and why ?
Richard Durrant describes himself as an "Indie Classical" musician, which I think is a pretty good summary - but doesn't really take into account the fact that he also toured with Sky, worked as an accomplished session musician for many years and has released albums in a brilliantly eclectic variety of other genres and styles over the years.
In this conversation we talk about:
- Why Richard records in an "acoustic igloo" (and what that is)
- Mic techniques for guitar and dealing with "wolf notes" on stringed instruments
- Real spaces versus digital reverb
- Touring (and performing) with a bicycle
- Performing Bach's cello suites on Banjo and Ukulele - how and why
