Satara Studio Diary - Day 1

Day 1 (18/05/2010)

The roles:

			 		 
Baas Hastl	 	Burgl	 	Syntie
(recording director)		(conductor)		(drums)

Neaux	;	Kirstl		Well
(assistant director)		(holistic care delegated, the Board Satara)		(was also there, is not it ...?)

After a lot of ifs and buts, with much hemming and eyes, especially after he agreed preparation time, Satara start now with the recording of their first studio album.
Around you initiate a glimpse of the top-secret art of recording, I write to you here, live, in a report.

Theoretical basis:

In a studio it is important that there is absolute silence, as the highly sensitive microphones, which were developed by the NASA space to record sounds that would otherwise take up all sorts of noise.
This noise we call sound. But not only noise but also music is referred to as sound.
Scientifically sound is nothing but a vector.
A vector is similar to a well or a jet (eg sunlight), very well defined:
Vekotren have 4 Pages: 1 front, one rear and two lateral sides, the lateral sides can be parallel or coincide, and only at the front and back of the cut vector.

As it now but for many instruments not only is that a single note is produced, but several tones are generated (eg bagpipes with chanter Währe and drones), it could not be worse and difficult to represent each sound vector.
For this reason, there are the so-called vector sum to Euclid.
Euclid was a Greek sailor of the sum vector defined as follows:

"A vector sum is the sum of all vectors divided by the number of vectors, cut their front pages in a closed system."

The closed system is given by the noise density recording room. It can therefore be to apply the Euclidean Sumenvektor theory in our case.
This gives the closed system but also influential on the vectors. Closed systems are defined by so-called border areas. A total of 6 form potential interfaces (1 upper, 1 lower, 1link, knit1, 1vordere and 1hintere) not be congruent, may a closed system. Adding now the sum of the potential interfaces and report them, according to Euclid, by the number of potential interfaces, one always comes second to the number This study shows the two coordinates are in a room with a coordinate the hoeizontale level (Bodenkoordinate) and the vertical coordinate Level (Wandkoordinate) describes. Thus, we have created these two sizes a room with three dimensions in which the total noise vector always linear (straight) moved away from the intersection of two coordinates in a bilateral angle of 45 ° C from.

is now fastened magnet at the interfaces (coordinates) can affect the sound vector sum, as it is magnetic. Consequently, pulling the magnets affect the total noise vector at the UN is how the career of the sound.
applies particularly in the so called boundary layer microphones, But even with all the other microphones, loudspeaker transmits and pickups, which contain all the magnets. to manipulate

To the sound of the technicians möglichkleit the positions and the magnetic potential in the microphones or speakers through potentiometer has to regulate the mixing desk. Since there are abggegrenzt soundproof tables in low battery conditions to over-control (influence of the magnets in the speakers by the magnets in the microphones), the recording room. This is achieved by a simple "room-in-space" or thermos principle (English Thermoscan-principle).
You build in the existing space into just a second, which is presented to the space between the two spaces (dead space) as an insulation layer to the sound.

If you setht followed all these rules of good production no more obstacles.


The building :

The building in which there is a studio has made the otsansäßigen musicians from the city of St. Pölten for Verfüfung. It is a building in Contianerbauweise, the strong similarity with the Russian ground station for satellite Sputnik has.

For safety reasons, smoking is possible only in a segregated area, otherwise uncontrolled explosions could come.
Over the smoking area which is about the volume of an Apollo space capsule arrives to an air lock. As musicians usually much smoke, the ashtray after a short time was already overcrowded.

Before recording ; At the end of the recordings The Explosoionswarnleuchten

The recordings are performed in Euclidean recording room. After 4 hours Synti had already set up his drums and we could start with the recordings.

The brain of the whole thing is a combination of cybernetic Bastl and the control room that provides out that the sounds, mixed by Syntis drums to a melodious construct of high, mid and lows is.

Strategic:

"A victorious general in front of the struggle many calculations on "quote!: Sun Tzu, Chinese general.

Because Synti is the first of the SATARAtten who recorded his "instrument" (drums), he can only conform to a metronome that it dictates the approximate speed.
Because the instruments are missing, I must conduct Synti point (of course topmotiviertm and sober) and a 2-side, by hand, to use my own order, on 2 sheets of flip chart.
This procedure can import Synti in 3 hours even the voice of the drum song Pertschi.

A look around:

DECIDED

Against 24:00 s we stop with the recordings for today and tomorrow to continue.
Synti and I will get so for about 3 hours of sleep before we have to drive to work. But we are looking forward immensely to tomorrow where we will start the next drum voices.

Good night!
