Hi Mixinthecloud,
thank you very much for your nice comment!
Yes, of course I can explain.
I did not use the Outtrigger- and Hall-Pair microphones, just "Main" and "Spots".
I eqd the main mic by removing the midrange (-6..-7dB about 450Hz). Especially the piano has lot of energy in this range on the main mic. And adding a little bit of high frequencies. As a result the main mic should sound good on its own.
The spot mics should just add a little bit of definition and clearity. To achieve that, I took a highpass on all the spot between 250 - 400 Hz. Again reducing some mids around 700Hz and add highs.
To compensate the distance between the spots and the main mic, I delayed the spots by ear (6ms Piano, 10ms Strings and 12ms Horns)
The stereo image of the horns-spotmics is very wide, so I reduced it.
The fader of the spot mics are: Strings -16db, Horns -5db, Piano -2dB)
At the end there is a Lexicon PCM RandomHall 1,7sec on the MasterBus.
No compression or automation.
I hope this explanation was understandable.
best regards,
Guido
