Özet

In this study, the recording techniques for string instruments such as violin, viola, and cello in a group setting have been examined. The introduction section discusses the impact of developing technology on music production and the art of music. Following this, the history of sound recording is explored, with a focus on the techniques used in the 19th century. The study emphasizes how this journey has evolved up to the present day. In the findings section, live observations were made of group string instrument recordings conducted in three different studios. In the first studio, there are five violinists, while the second and third studios each have four violinists. Each of the three studios also includes one violist and one cellist. It was observed that different recording techniques and microphone placements were employed in each of the three studios. The precautions that should be taken when using both close and distant miking techniques simultaneously are discussed. The impact of XY miking techniques on group string instrument recordings is highlighted. Techniques used in recordings conducted in different rooms are also examined. As a result, it was found that the number of group members and the number of microphones used influenced the recording techniques. Large-diaphragm condenser microphones were preferred. It is noted that the stereo positioning that will be applied during the mixing stage actually begins during the recording process. Additionally, it is stated that time-based processors (reverb and delay), which are preferred during the mixing stage, are also used during recording, whereas dynamic and frequency-based processors should not be used during the recording phase. © 2024, Tolga Karaca.
