W12 - ACOUSTIC CONCEPTS AND TIME MANAGEMENT FOR SURROUND RECORDINGS—JAZZ

Chair:
Ulrich Vette, University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna

Abstract:
In recordings of jazz combos and big bands it is a common concept to record instruments acoustically separated by screens or even in multiple rooms. In a live recording situation this is not possible in the same way, so often close microphone positioning is the solution. By using path length delay compensation a different recording approach is possible: The use of main and ambience microphones leads to a more realistic spatial image and allows more natural sound colours of instruments than a mix with only spot microphones.

This acoustical concept will be demonstrated with a Big Band concert recorded at the Porgy and Bess Jazz Club in Vienna and a studio recording of a Jazz Quartet.
