At the same capacity, the price of tools (consoles, players, recorders, devices, etc.) is practically tenfold in less than a decade. But the musician is faced with the requirement to also take the sound-engineer, not always with the necessary education. The sound-engineer has also become, therefore, musician, or operator specializing in IT management tools used (church sound system design).
On set, working with it (or them) boom operator (boom operator), it ensures the proper sounds recording dialogues or lyrics, trying to avoid as much as possible all the noise and controlling levels 'check in; it handles playback, provides, moreover, the mounting of only ambient sounds necessary (that is to say, outside of time saved location). This profession has evolved over the technical advances of cinema. At the beginning of talkies, there was the reign of omnipotence of soundengineer on set with his Fisher pole, then the movie came out of tray to go and shoot in natural settings. The chief sounds operator also uses multitrack hard disk recorders (genus Cantar) or memory cards.
Technologically similar to microphones used in studio, the microphones for sounds systems meet the different signals to recipient. The consoles have a concert dedicated to large number of entries provided for microphones, advanced EQ sections, a large number of auxiliary buses, especially for consoles dedicated to returns. DJ oriented consoles have little input - and most stereo, simple adjustments, a smaller footprint, and for a long correction "RIAA" for turntables. In Public Address, the console is reduced to a minimum and sometimes integrated directly into amplifier.
Sometimes placed on each console output an equalizer that can correct the overall response ofn enclosure according to its intrinsic defects, acoustics of venue, frequencies causing Feedback, operators wishes, etc. These equalizers are mostly graphics but nothing prohibits the use of parametric. The filter separates the signal into different frequency bands distributable by specialist speakers. Filtering can active or passive:
Apart from its technical qualities constantly evolving, the mixer must be patient and psychology. A soundengineer working in music recorded and mixed an album in a recording studio or during public concerts, or even anywhere. The soundengineer can a specialist, for example, classical music, Jazz, Rock, etc.
The first steps during hardware installation, are to choose the power and position of return distribution systems - those for musicians - and front - to public. If, in small configurations, the engineer may also hold the post of soundengineer and thus manage the mix, it is common in larger events, there is one or more engineers / soundengineers facade and one or more engineers / soundengineers in return for a faster response and better adapted to potential problems mentioned above.
The so-called limiters "peaks" protect against the first risk, limiters "RMS" against the second. The two may be combined. Some manufacturers offer more advanced devices capable of estimating in real time the heating of coil and the cone excursion and will kick in at closer to its limits.
Before sounds recording session, its preparation are done under the engineer's instructions: arrangement of orchestra, choice of microphones, headphones network installation for musicians. At sounds recording, the soundengineer checks that sounds recordings do not saturate by adjusting the setting best mic preamps and assumes good musical scale. A sounds recording may be said live when all the musicians recorded simultaneously or in successive layers (overdub (first rhythm tracks recorded with a (reference click the Tempo) and other sections: strings, brass, choirs, and solo instruments (in) dubbing instruments and finally solo singer. These records can done bit by bit ((en) punching-in and punch-out)
