Our journey continues with the Video Tutorials by RPM Edizioni and MIDImarket.it.
This time it's up to the classical guitar.
If you liked the first video, this one too will hold you many surprises. Those who are struggling with the recording and mixing of the classical guitar will find many ideas from the indications given in the video.
Of course you cannot expect to always have such microphones available Neumann M149 o AKG 414 or, again, PRE Focusrite ISA 430 or Summit signal processors, but the suggestions and operating methods that you will find in the video can help you in more than one situation: then, as always happens, it will be your personal taste, mediated by the tools you have at your disposal, to ensure that the mix you are working on works great.
Also take into account the software used which, as you will notice, are dated around 2007. Despite this, the actions of Pasquale Faggiano, sound engineer who took care of the audio part of all the videos, can suggest further little tricks that are used daily in the actual studios.
Guitarist on duty, once again Carlo Fimiani: a quick Google search can clarify your ideas on his artistic CV.
Finally, but I think it goes without saying, despite the various compressions we have tried to leave the audio as faithful as possible to the original.
Good vision!

Our journey through the tutorial videos by RPM Edizioni and MIDImarket.it goes on. This time it is about the classical guitar.
If you enjoyed the first video, this one will also hold quite a few surprises. Those who are dealing with recording and mixing the classical guitar, will surely find some helpful tips from this video.
Obviously one can hardly expect to be always well set up with microphones like Neumann M149 or AKG 414 or, rather, preamplifiers like Focusrite ISA 430 or Summit chips, still the advices and the suggested operational mode you'll find in this video might be of help for more than just one situation: however, as usual, it will be your own personal taste, through the use of the gear at your disposal, what will make the mix you've been working on turn out great.
Keep in mind that the softwares we used, as you would notice, are dated circa 2007. Nonetheless, Pasquale Faggiano's work, the engineer who has been in charge of the audio section for all our videos, may suggest you some little tricks which are used inside real recording studios on a daily basis.
Once again our guitarist is on-duty Carlo Fimiani: a Google quick search can tell you a lot about his artistic curriculum.
Lastly, and I think it is needless to say, although there have been a lot of compression in terms of video format, we tried our best to keep the audio true to the original.
Enjoy the video!
