Field Recording: Capturing Musical Sounds (Tips, Gear & Techniques)


Bring the legendary sound of Harrison's analog heritage into your DAW with the 32Classic Channel Strip. This comprehensive plugin emulates the iconic Harrison 32Classic console, featuring a musical four-band parametric EQ, famous ultra-wide filters, and a versatile dynamics section with three compression modes. With the addition of a Jensen transformer-modeled "Drive" control for warm harmonic saturation, it provides the same professional workflow and sonic character used on some of the world's most influential records.

The art of field recording can be applied in many ways—storytelling, news-gathering, sonic portraits, and of course music-making. In the first of our three-video field recording techniques series, producer & engineer Dennis Bunton discusses the creative choices that go into selecting a location, finding a variety of sources to record—from nature sounds to activating the space with percussive gestures—and the range of field recording equipment and gear you need to capture great audio.
