Most of us record in studios of various types. But sometimes it is necessary, or advantageous, to record on location.
I’ve had a studio most of my career, but in the early days, I recorded entirely on location. More recently, before I built my present studio, I did quite a few location recordings, in many types of venues. Some were concert halls, theaters, or sports arenas, but many were in churches, community spaces, outside, or even in people’s homes.
Those location recordings taught me a lot about acoustics, mic placement, and dealing with unforeseen obstacles.
Although location recording will most likely be of a performance, sometimes it is desirable to record in a area that has more room, or better acoustics for a particular piece of music. Or maybe you just need a larger/better space to record horns, strings, or a choral background vocal.
In this episode, I share some of my experiences of recording outside the studio.
