Guitar recording analysis
The guitar was a Jackson Soloist 6 string electric guitar with Jackson standard pick ups, the guitar was recorded using the humbucker pickup closest to the bridge. the amp used to record the song was a Fender Frontman 12 watt amp with a SM57 dynamic mic 5cm from the amp, the dynamic mic is used due to the amplified electric guitar having a high SPL. In the control room I was tasked with communicating with the performer to equalise the guitar sound, ensure that the person sorting out the equipment in the recording studio has all the input he needs to correct equipment to ensure a pure but heavy sound. We then performed sound tests to ensure all was working perfectly. I would then check if the performer is ready, count him in and begin recording the piece. Once the recording was complete, me and the performer listened to it together to make sure the piece was at a level of standard agreeable between the two of us. After cutting up the track and cleaning it up, it was ready to be uploaded to sound cloud.

Drum kit recording analysis
The drum kit was hooked up with 8 Samson drum microphones. The drums was a lot of trouble as a few of the microphones were causing plosive feedback so we had to introduce some pop shields to a few microphones on the drum kit. to record the drums we had a single track for each microphone and the once the drums were recorded we layered the tracks to form one drum track and as before, discussed with the performer and ensured the track was pristine then uploaded it to sound cloud.

Trumpet recording analysis
For the trumpet we used a AKG C1000S condenser microphone due to the trumpet having lower SPL than say the electric guitar. We then prepared the class room for recording in, communication being the most important aspect of the tasks in hand. Once everyone was ready we recorded the trumpet and edited and cut it all the same. We then again uploaded it to sound cloud.
