Sound System : Basic Device

Sound system for the live performace and the recorder had two main components that is: microphone and mixer. Microphone was used to convert voice signal to electric signal. Mixer was used to combine all these signals.
The signal from mixer output is connected with amplifier.
Amplifier will strengthen this signal in being given to speaker.
Speaker will change this signal into the acoustic wave as the sound.

Afterwards in the system of the voice order also was gotten the processor that generally is connected around mixer and amplifier.
The processor was used to increase the quality of the signal audio.
The most general processor was used that is equaliser, effect, and the compressor.
Equaliser basically is the control collection of the tone that could raise or reduce the frequency of the signal audio specifically.
Effect is used to give special effect of the sound, like reverb (the voice reverberated) and delay (gave the postponement of the signal).
The signal that was too strong until passing the limit that was given to the compressor will be reduce.
In this case, the compressor could help prevented damage in speaker.

RECORDING: the basic Equipment that was needed for the recording

The process of the recording one music show had the aim of producing the original recorder cassette/the master. Usually after live show, the band group will send this recorder cassette to be processed further in the mastering before being doubled in the form of CD or the cassette. To make the good recording have several parts that must be considered:

1. The first,, and most important, is the microphone. Choose the microphone with the best quality for guaranteed the accuracy pickup of the desired sounds. Try several microphones and placements before settling on one best choice for each instrument.
A cardioid microphones are a good type for the beginning. Try to get the same type of microphone for all singers. It’s to avoid the difference of the timbre character because of using the different microphone.

2.Next, consider to the recording device that wanted to be used. The recording device could consist of various forms and size, from simple cassette tape recorders to the recording implement multitrack digital that more went up. The standard of the recording media to professional at this time was Digital Audio Tape (DAT) that will be introduced by Sony mid the 80 's. This media had the shape of the magnetic tape that could record from 2 to 22 of GB. DAT had sample rates from 44,1 kHz, CD audio the standard, to 48 kHz.

3.Finally, depending on the capabilities of the recording device, may need a
mixer. A mixer had the dual function; apart from being utilised to combine several microphones, mixer also had a function of changing the level signal of the microphone to the level of the recording device. Most consumer-quality cassette tape recorders of the consumer class did not permit the microphone directly to be connected to the record inputs. A microphone has the low output level that would result in little or no signal actually making it to tape.Mixer had the function to strengthen the signal from the level signal of the microphone to the level that could be accepted the recorder.

Sound the system was the vital part in one showed modern music, although in this case often we ignored him. Possibly as a Manager the performance must look for a person professional that was responsible for arranging this. But in fact, a person professional that was capable in handled sound system not always was available. In the long run this responsibility was shifted to the person that not specially could handle sound system like for example the musician. You think that this person could handle sound system was the same his matter when you installed some equipment sound system hi-fi in the house and you got the clear vote. You were kept buying several microphones and speaker furthermore showed could be begun. And you too hoped that showed this definitely could be recorded well.

Unfortunately in composing a set sound system in one showed not was as simple as that. Indeed in this case not was difficult like apparently, but when you came to a shop audio, there were many choices that could make you confused.

When you were asked the kind microphone what was needed by you, of Cardioid or Dynamic? Speaker the kind what was wanted by you, of Low Impedance or High Impedance? You really had difficulty answering him, because you did not understand would that.

With few basic guides, you could study what was needed by you, till finally you knew how sound system that was bought by you could produce the good voice good in showed and when in the process of the recording.

That must be paid attention to as the foundation in the process of the recording adalahketika feedback happened (feedback), also the characteristics of the acoustics in this recorder space.

Many of various microphone kinds and mixer that possibly to be chosen in the process of the recording, was the same his matter with the strengthening system of the voice to live show.

If the voice canned be heard good by you, that already a good step.
And became capital of the foundation to become better and finally produced the voice that excellent.

A little knowledge and some logic will help you to choose the system was good with the budget that be enough and avoided disappointment.
