This would be a banjo and vocal, recorded at the same time (old time music).

My room is small and dead.

The mics are Rodes NT5's.

Thanks,

I think Mike may have missed the part about banjo and vocals at the same time. 

Do you want to capture these things separately onto two tracks or are you thinking of a stereo mic thing capturing the banjo and vocals at the same time?

Love the video Mike. Certainly would save a lot of mixing time.

Those videos are very useful. If you were just using say an X/Y pair on a bracket etc it could just come down to the height of the mics. Little higher to get the vocal more or lower for the banjo. That is if you were closer in.  Do some test recordings. 

If you miked it further away as Mike suggests it would be up to the vocals to match the sound of the banjo. The banjo can be quite loud.

This might sound silly but you could try an X/Y thing tipped 90 degrees. So one mic is pointing slightly upward toward the voice and the other a little downward to the banjo. You would end up with the two things being just a little left and right of centre in the end. Could be good.

I am thinking of an x/y mic thing and have to record the banjo and vocal at the same time.  The artist is a singer/songwriter who insists on singing and playing at the same time.


He is singing into an SM7, the x/y is two Rodes NT5's.
