Greg Brice – 'Weeping Willows Blues': a Milk, Wood & Dust session
Rhythm & Blues singer, musician and guitarist Greg Brice performs the traditional song 'Weeping Willows Blues', recorded by Blind Boy Fuller in 1937 and reworked by many since - not least Steve Tilston.
Taking a simple approach to recording, this uses a Blumlein pair of fig 8 mics (Sennheiser MKH 8030) on Greg's Martin guitar, and a supercardioid (Sennheiser MKH 8030) on his vocals. There has been no processing of the sound, other than addition of a little reverb. For more on the recording see: drbadphil.com/mkh-8030-pair-a-blumlein-variation-for-singer-songwriter-greg-brice
Sound recording and video by Roland B Harris
Many thanks to Luke Chapman for use of his workshop

MKH 30 and MKH 8030 comparison on guitar
มุมมอง 6868 หลายเดือนก่อน
This acoustic guitar recording forms part of a series of tests with a pre-production version of the Sennheiser MKH 8030 (fig 8). In this test it is compared to the older Sennheiser fig 8: the MKH 30. The first part of the test alternates between the two mics, each facing the guitar: so a mono recording. The second part of the test sees the two fig 8 mics pair with their respective super-cardioi...

Hot Smoke & Danger: 'The Heydon Green Shuffle'
มุมมอง 158ปีที่แล้ว
Well here's Hot Smoke & Danger playing live at The Earle Arms in Heydon, Norfolk. It was meant to be an outside gig and BBQ, but the rain came down and so they were squeezed into the bar: Thuggsy was squashed (with his toy drum kit) into the alcove with the stuffed fox, and Leyton had to move his bass to let folks pass by. The PA for vocals and bass played up and reminded the band why it needs ...
Rycote OM 08 test - guitar

Thanks to Luke Chapman putting down his tools in his workshop (again) and playing a bit of guitar, here are some clips of three tests with the new Rycote omni OM-08 mics. The first test is comparative: it alternates between a pair of the Rycote omni OM-08 mics and a pair of Rode NT55 mics (with the omni capsules). The second test sets a single OM-08 to record the guitar, then compares it to pro...

Tony Hall's melodeon playing has long been much revered, and can be heard on Maddy Prior and June Tabor's 'Silly Sisters' album, on Nic Jones's 'Penguin Eggs' album, and on his own recordings: 'Field Vole Music' (1977), 'Mr Universe' (1995), and 'One Man Hand' (2008).

Thanks to Luke Chapman putting down his tools in his workshop and playing an early version of a current song he is working on ('Speaks of Something'), here is a test using a variant of double mid-side stereo recording, where the two mid mics face forward and, having different polar patterns, can be blended in post to create different virtual polar patterns.

Here a couple of short clips of singer-guitarist Luke Chapman performing for a test of the new Rycote HC-15 and HC-22 shotgun microphones. The mics switch during the video (as indicated on screen) and, from time-to-time, the HC-22 is combined with a fig 8 AKG CK94 so that the shotgun mic forms the mid mic of a mid-side stereo pair. This test is part of a wider testing and review on my blog, for...

I found this video when a Fig.8 rabbit hole brought me to Sound on Sound, which led me to your excellent blog post. Thanks for sharing this technique! I recently scored a nice pair of OPR ribbon mics, and I'm thinking about giving this technique a shot with them. Great work, and thanks for sharing your process!
Lovely stuff Greg!
Masterful as always! A beauty of a song Greg. 👍🏼
Thanks Roland! A real pleasure to meet you. You made it very easy for me! Best of luck with the new Milk, Wood and Dust sessions 👌 I’ll definitely be back!
It was an absolute joy Roland! Thanks for all your hard work. All the very best with the brand new session series, I’ll get spreading the word around!
Flawlessly and tastefully played
Incredible pickin'!
The older one is slightly more relaxed, picks up a bit more cues of space and details within the proportions, the new is just a bit eagerly active. Thanks hugely for your work!
I like old MKH series. The sound is fuller.
I can't hear a difference between the MKH 30 and the MKH 8030.
Thank you very much! 🤠
Thanks for doing this, I‘ve been enjoying your blog as well.
Thanks so much!
