房间麦克风及其摆位

mixing

This area is tricky. Room frequency “build-ups” and “suck outs” have a major influence. Condensers are the typical choice but each room sounds different, so try every mic that’s left over. It’s a good idea to use two of the same model with the overheads.

    这个区域是比较复杂的。房间频率的“驻波”和“吸声”对拾音有较大的影响。电容麦克是标准的选择但是每个房间的声音特性都不同，所以要尝试剩下的每一支麦克。用两支和OH麦相同型号的麦克是一个不错的主意。

    You might think an omni pickup pattern would work well, meaning the condenser mics would hear behind as well as the sides. Maybe, but I use cardioid most of the time. Start by placing the mics about 15 feet in front of the drums, about four feet above the floor. Spread apart the mics around eight feet or more, using the bass drum as center.

    你或许会认为全指向的拾音制式会更适合，这就意味着电容麦会拾到后面和旁边的声音。或许可以，但是我大多数情况下会使用心型指向。首先把麦克固定在鼓前方大约15英尺，距地板高度大约4英尺的位置。然后把两个麦克以底鼓位置为中心，分展开大约8英尺或更多。

    This is what works for me in my studio, but every studio will have “sweet spots” so experiment! Even a “semi-dead room” might like room mics.

    这就是我在自己录音棚里的办法，但是每个录音棚都会有拾音的“皇帝位”，所以还是试验吧！即使一个“半消声室”可能也能用房间麦克。

    It is possible to use more room mics, especially if the room is big with high ceilings. If this is the case, for high distant miking, try the Neumann M50 (nickel capsule is best) which is designed to be a room mic. This mic sounds bright even when distant from the sound source. It’s a hard mic to find, but it’s great for this application.

有可能会用到更多的房间麦克，特别是如果是天花板很高的大房间。如果是这种情况，为了远距离高处拾音，可以尝试一下专门设计房间麦的Neumann M50（镀镍振膜最好）。即使远离声源，这个麦克也能声音明亮。这个麦克很难找到，但是这个用途上是非常棒的。

    Typical Drum Recording Rooms

    典型的录鼓房间

    There are three main categories of studio recording rooms.

    这里有三种录音间的主要类型。

    The Dead Room: This has major padding on the walls and ceiling, with a carpet floor. There are very few “live surfaces,” so this type of room does not generate natural reverberations as the surfaces absorb the sound. The 1970s pop and R&B (rhythm and blues) era favored this type of drum sound.

    消声室：它有非常专业的填充物在墙壁和天花板上，还有地毯。这里几乎没有“live surfaces”（也就是有效反射面），所以这种类型的房间由于表面吸音并不会产生自然的混响。这种类型房间的鼓声在70年代的流行和R&B类的录音中比较受偏爱。

    Semi Open-Sounding Room: This has some reflective surfaces, such as wood wall panels and a hard wood floor, with a few “soft spots” like a carpet border around the hardwood floor or padding on a few walls. The ceiling may have wood reflectors, or a few boxes filled with environmentally-safe fiberglass material may hang from the ceiling to stop any ringing caused by the ceiling. If you can only have one big room in your studio, this is the best option. You can change it into a dead room by adding foam, packing blankets, or commercial frequency absorbers. For any music other than hard rock, this room style is a happy medium.

    半混响室：这种房间有一些反射面，比如木制墙裙和硬木地板，和一些类似和硬木地板相接的地毯或者墙上少数的吸音物的“柔软处”。天花板上可能会有木制反射面，或者有一些用环保玻璃纤维填充的小盒子悬挂在天花板上以防止由于天花板带来的任何响声。如果你的录音棚只能有一个大房间，这种类型是最好的选择。你可以通过增加泡沫海棉，添加毛毯或者频率吸音的产品把它变成消声室。这个类型的房间是个折衷方案，除了硬摇滚适合所有的音乐类型。

   Open-Sounding Room: This type of room is usually quite large and is the key to a big exploding drum sound. The surfaces are typically cement and plaster; non-reflective surfaces are rare. When recording drums in an open-sounding room, you’ll generally use room mics (mics distant from the sound source), so it is best to put only the drums in this room and all other instrument amps in other rooms for isolation.

    混响室：这种类型的房间通常很大而且是使鼓声爆发的关键。反射面基本是水泥和石灰；非反射面很少。当在混响室里录鼓的时候，你通常都要用房间麦克（麦克要远离声源），所以为了隔音最好把鼓单独放在这个房间里，其它乐器放大器在其它房间。
