In this video Jason de Wilde, the Head of Audio at the Australian Institute of Music (AIM) demonstrates mic placement and techniques for recording an oboe. Although not common in contemporary music, the occasional recording session calls for recording this instrument in solo mode. The video covers the placement of 2 microphones -- one close miking technique and one distant ambient one. Using a variety of microphone polar patterns we can see how the we can wind more of the room ambiance into the overall sound. We then further blend the actual ambient microphone to give the final result.
The video also demonstrates the important non-technical aspects of recording. It involves building a rapport between sound engineer and musician, explaining the process, set up of headphone monitoring. This is an important lesson in communication and helping the musician feel relaxed and comfortable before entering the recording environment. These conversations also help the engineer to understand the instrument and the person they are recording.

Audio @ Aim
The Bachelor of Music (Audio Technology) is a thorough and complete study of sound engineering and music technology. Throughout all stages of the course students are taught theoretical concepts which are supported with practical audio classes. Students will learn to collaborate with other other AIM students including composers, musicians, performers and actors to complete major projects. Students have access to our state of the art recording studios to complete their assessments. They also have opportunities to work on the many additional recording projects such as the Best of AIM CD which is produced each year. Students further their musical knowledge and skills with practical and theoretical units. Students who want to focus on technical production skills should choose the Audio Major. Associate study options enable all audio students to either specialise or broaden their study program.
