Some good observations here. I was present when Josh Rogosin gave a talk at the Audio Engineering Society convention in NYC last fall. One thing I walked away with was how active he was being in managing the bleed from all those microphones. While Josh may use a lot of instrument spots when recording a large ensemble, when he showed his DAW session on the screen, it was clear that the majority of those mics were muted most of the time. Spot mics were unmuted only at specific points in the song where they were needed to highlight something. When unmuted, they were often heavily EQ'd to add only exactly what was needed to the mix and to keep unwanted bleed under control. Josh usually has some kind of ambience feed available -- sometimes just a more distant stereo mic -- but he doesn't use it continually in the mix. It might be faded up in the spaces (another production nod to field reporting) or used for a more distant perspective on a horn section, but it's not the sole source of ambience in the final mix. There are always those stereo mics, but Josh is also not afraid to use artificial reverb plug ins. The end result FEELS like intimate live capture, but what's really going on here is storytelling and, in service of that story, no post-production trick is off the table.

I run a small recording studio on my college's campus out of an old radio station's building, and I've been looking for how to up my "live recording" vibe for a couple of months now as work has picked up. I can't even begin to say how valuable the past 20 minutes I just spent watching this video will be to me moving forward. I'm already itching to try so much of this out.

I love tiny desk, and this channel. I would have never thought to break down the tiny desk production but this is fantastic. Reminds me of all the reasons I love folk and jazz recordings where all the people are in the room together with out headphones and theyâre listening to each other and having a musical conversation.

in a few minutes I know this is a high quality, well written, well researched and additionally amazing visual aide. Props to everyone who worked on this video. Followed this channel back in the microphone comparison videos, and great to see more of docu-esque type videos now. This channel needs more recognition!

yes yes yes. Knocking it out of the park. Practical, informative, illustrative and lessons learnt. These must take an age to put together - but I'm sure I speak for many when I say, I'd much rather you continued this course than go down the clickbait "my top 5 EQs", "I've hade enough" titles. thank you.

If you guys haven't heard of the Technical Director Josh Rogosin and his approach to Tiny Desk, definitely check out this article! www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2020/04/02/825152850âŠ

I find it largely depends on the performers positioning. Radio sessions where everyone is standing in the round facing each other I find less use for MS, especially if itâs being filmed as they wonât have a consistent âviewer aspectâ kind of like crossing the line in an interview. TinyDesk style where the lead artist is at the front facing the crowd with the rest of the band generally behind them that MS can really shine and gives you a really nice guide to where the spot mics need to be panned. A Goniometer meter really helps with setting up MS and lets you see when thereâs excess bass on one side of fig8 element, which isnât always immediately audible monitoring during setup or tracking.
If I ended up in a really small studio I would often try to open up the door to the gallery or corridor. Anything to increase air volume.
Really enjoy the channel, great work.

Malcolm's tiny desk performance makes me so sad and happy, he's gone but his music lives on. I'll raise my kids listening to Mac Miller. It's so genuine, he laughs and jokes but you can tell he's nervous, and the chemistry between Thundetcat and Malcolm, not just musically, warms your heart. rip Malcom McCormick, hug your loved ones

Hi, Bob Boilen here. I'm the creator of Tiny Desk concerts. I love what you did here and appreciate your appreciation of the Tiny Desk sound. I wonât go into details on what you came up with other than to say you did a great job. You should see a Tiny Desk concert sometime. Given all you did here, youâd appreciate it immensely. The one thing I would critique that is vital to the Tiny Desk and an important part of my philosophy for these concerts is this: no headphones or monitors. The singer sings in the room without any amplification. Since there are also no monitors, everyone has to play at a volume that allows them to hear the singer and also every other instrument. So, in essence, the band is âself-mixing.â That makes the performance unique, as well as the recording techniques.
