Rock Recording Primer Article 1: "Recording
And Mixing The Rhythm Electric Guitar"
by Bob Dennis.
If it is a three or four piece rock
band that you are recording, the electric rhythm guitars need to be big and
wide. In addition to reviewing techniques that we have
presented in previous tips and articles, we give signal processing and mixing advice for these important tracks. |

Rock Recording Primer Article 2: "Recording
And Mixing The Lead Electric Guitar"
by Bob Dennis.
A good rock lead guitar should sound "right
there" and "Huge". There should also be a clarity
of the notes being played. These factors create a conflict in the
microphone setup to pick up the instrument that we show you how to quickly
solve. |

Rock Recording Primer Article 3: "Recording
And Mixing The Rock Bass Guitar"
by Bob Dennis.
My experience is that
blending together both a direct pickup and a mic placed on a bass guitar
amplifier gives the best combination of fullness and clarity. |

Rock Recording Primer Article 4: "Doubled
Electric Guitar Recording & Mixing"
by Bob Dennis.
The double-tracking of
rhythm and lead guitar parts gives a fuller, more interesting sound and
image in the final mix. This is a real effective way of
getting the superstar sound on the CD for a three or four piece rock
group. |

"Basic
Mixing Reverb Libraries"
by Bob Dennis.
I can't usually call a mix a
real mix
if there is only one kind of reverb available for the mixdown session. The
first two reverberation effects I dial up for mixing are a "Large Hall"
program and a "Chamber" program. I of course want more reverb
programs for my mix, but I can "make do" with these two programs running.

Rock Recording Primer Review Article: "Recording
& Mixing Drums"
by Bob Dennis.
The basic hard or power rock formula is
a track of guitars, bass and drums. In this issue we presented
articles on recording & mixing the rock guitar and bass. In March 2001 Recording Engineer's Quarterly
Bob explained recording and mixing of rock drums. Putting these articles
together gives you sort of a complete
primer on recording rock tracks. |
