  • OneMic - the minimalist recording series by John Cuniberti demonstrates that an entire band can be recorded with only one stereo microphone in one take. Each recording session is shot in HD video on a Sony a7RII by filmmaker Nathaniel Kohfield. What makes this series so different from other live performance videos is that the artist is in complete control of his/her presentation. This means that the sound, balance, dynamics and stereo image is decided upon at the moment of creation, not in post-production. The artist (band) is responsible for the final product. There is no editing of the audio or video. It’s as honest as it can be including imperfections. This organic presentation isn’t limited to “acoustic” music as seen with live classical and folk music. In this series veteran recording engineer John Cuniberti records bands with electric guitars and drums that would normally require a multi-mic, multi-track approach. This is not the first time this has been done but this technique was quickly forsaken soon after the multi-track tape recorder was invented and with it a loss of a level of musical intimacy. The OneMic series demonstrates the positive aspects of the minimalistic recording process of the 1930s but will be captured on modern stereo recording equipment.

    The best musicianship I've ever heard... They actually sound like they're having a heated conversation while also balancing their levels perfectly...
    If I could like this twice I would.

    First time I saw a live performance of Dawg Music- was 1977’ Sacramento State auditorium. A young Mark O’Connor on Guitar. I was hooked. David still has the timing and touch👍

    I commented on the other Grisman video I think but I keep coming back. As a recording engineer of 30+ years, even with TH-cam's compromised sound these are some of the nicest, most natural recordings I've heard.
    I know this method is not right for many, if not most situations but wow, it's just so real and immersive and as a recording technique something I want to explore. Alan Blumlein was a very clever and elegant designer and these recordings do him proud.

    Hi John, I think this is the most amazing of all your OneMic recordings. The musicianship and the dynamics of the band are just insane. All the videos are great but this one is beyond my comprehension.

    These videos are great. Did you instruct the musicians (if they can) to move closer and further from the mics when they needed to be "spotlighted"? I guess they can play quieter too. It's pretty amazing to do that in tandem when each performer essentially listens from their own spots.

    • @onemic-theminimalist

    Fabulous! I see in most of your other video's how you avoid having musicians (or more accurately their sound ie: their amp if electric) in the two side 90 degree segments. In this video it looks like they are in a more or less complete circle, which has me wondering about how you managed the two out of phase segments?

    • @onemic-theminimalist
      @onemic-theminimalist  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They were instructed by me to stay out of the dead lobes and I had marks on the floor to guide them. I think it's a bit deceiving with the camera angles and lighting.

    Might I ask about the signal chain?
    I'm assuming the AEA R88A (or was it the passive R88?), but which preamplifier? AEA? Millenia? Which AD converter? What made you choose the mic/mic-pre that you chose (active vs. passive, etc.)?
    Thank you for for creating and sharing such fantastic recordings!
