RSR170 – Matt Beaudoin – How to Get a Great Recording of a Band Live Together in a Room.

Matt talked about the origin of the famous Q Region poster, the history of Q Division studios, the most common mistakes that people make when recording a band live in the studio, working with Jennifer Kimball and Ry Cavanaugh of Session Americana, a breakdown of the Glyn Johns drums, best choices for vocal and bgv mics, and lots of other stuff!

My guest today is Matt Beaudoin, a Boston-based engineer, producer, and educator.  While currently a freelance engineer, Matt has had a long association with Q Division Studios, where he was chief engineer from 2003 to 2010.  

While he has worked in a wide variety of genres, Matt particularly enjoys employing classic recording techniques while working on music made with a live, ensemble-based approach. In addition to his work in the studio, Matt is currently an assistant professor of Music Production and Engineering at Berklee College of Music.

Today he is going to talk about his experience recording in Boston and teach us How to Get a Great Recording of a Band Live Together in a Room
