Improve Your Didgeridoo Recordings with Good Monitoring

This is a follow up from the Mic techniques video, which is about how monitoring/listening is crucial in evaluating your recordings and how a good set up can improve didge/yidaki recordings, be it just for a better recording or with the aim of getting professional high quality recordings. Before I mention the links below here's a note: You can record didge in any room, eg kitchen, if you like the sound there. (if you have mobile set up). After all you can record anywhere if it sounds good, including field recordings. And if you have a nice sounding room (acoustics), you can capture it's natural reverb via the mic (or mics). However, monitoring with speakers is a different matter: here you need a flatter room frequency response, without a lot of reverb, reflections etc, to asses recordings properly. Though I don't like my studio too dead and have just enough acoustic treatment for balance of flat to live. Of course you can use headphones (a mention about this on video)and they are useful anyway to do quick check of recordings just done (and field recordings). Some links below that you may find useful: Here's a link to Ian Shepherd and how he set up his home mastering studio. Although there's a difference between mixing & mastering, similar methods of acoustic treatment are applied and you may find his videos here interesting. https://gikacoustics.co.uk/ian-shephe... A video here by Streaky, showing speaker set up on stands (same triangle principle applies if you set up on a desk)    • BEST WAY TO SETUP HOME STUDIO SPEAKERS | S...      • NEVER DO THIS WITH NEARFIELD MONITORS !   (This video showing how to isolate speakers from desk) The following links to various videos and articles are useful to check out and some info is useful to grasp but you don't have to learn all the technical stuff and don't let it put you off setting up. Just take from it what you can or need and most importantly just get some speakers (or headphones (or both) and experiment with listening. Some people like to know the theory (about room standing waves/pressure waves etc) while others do not. You can get everything set up with just basic info, so go for it! Remember, acoustic theory in an already built room, such as in your home, won't necessarily work out exactly to acoustic principles, i.e. exact listening position or null or peak spots in room etc. So, you can get by knowing very little about acoustics and from a practical point of view, you can experiment to find the best listening spot and speaker placement, so guidelines are useful but not gospel! Finally, it is a learning process, so just get set up and if you don't have any listening experience already just go with the guidelines. In the future as you get more listening experience you can always change things about as your knowledge grows! Regarding listening to reference tracks to evaluate your own recordings, that's something for later, after you've become familiar with your monitoring system which will take time. The following four videos are by GIK acoustics: This first video below has nice diagrams showing set up and you can ignore the bit about subwoofers, unless you are looking to incorporate them (not so easy in small rooms though!) but if your'e just starting out, best to just stick with monitors for now.    • Stereo Speaker Placement      • GIK Acoustics: Early / First Reflection Po...   This one covers early reflection points.    • GIK Acoustics: The Basics, Bass traps, Dif...  .
