[HAM] Mic Bleed (could someone suggest a more pleasant term for it?)

[Bohachewsky, Andrew V.]

That's the way it's always been done at my studio (er, garage). Close
miced so there's enough isolation to eq and level all the tracks, the
little bit of bleed does tie all the tracks together. Back in style -
LOL!

My studio (er, garage) has a concrete floor covered with rugs and one
concrete wall, no isolation panels or other soundproofing. For some
reason stuff recorded there has a really nice sound. My drummer has a
more pro studio setup with all sorts of sound proofing and isolation
panels, I've found the recordings there tend to miss that nice natural
ambiance that I seem to get and sound more sterile.

Hi Kon

There have been a couple of articles recently in EQ mag singing the 
praises of mic bleed.  Billy Joel also spoke highly of it in a recent 
Keyboard mag interview.  It's totally back in style, and I guess 
isolation is out. (I also read that some studios are now reclaiming 
their former larger acoustic spaces by dismantling the iso booths 
installed since the 70's and beyond.)

Styles change, stay flexible.
