Recording a Whole Band with Just One Pair of RM-7 DIY Mics

Believe it or not, but the track below was live-recorded using just a single pair of kit-built RM-7 ribbon microphones. The pair was set up in the center of the room and mixing was done by moving musician closer or further away. According to the producer, it was a hard work, but the result was worth all the efforts. The recorded stereo file was mastered, mostly by adding a touch of a multi-band compression. Listen and see what you can do with just one pair of great ribbon mics!

DIY Ribbons in Action

As usual with music videos, the audio was recorded and produced first and then the video was filmed. Therefore, the video sequence doesn’t document the actual recording process. However, the audio is the authentic track, recorded live with a stereo pair of RM-7 DIY ribbon microphones. Enjoy!
