Mantra 2 - In Light (feat. Jordan Love and Peace)

In Light (feat. Jordan Love and Peace)

Another mantra with Jordan. This one came so easily so we just allowed it. The recording is the 2nd take as we did not have the mics set up for the first take.

It is difficult to isolate the vocals from the harmonium, as Jordan does not want to track them separately (and couldn't do so because of the connection needed between the playing and the singing). I recorded his vox with an AT2020 and sm57 and both capture a lot of the harmonium. What are some ways to get around this problem to isolate the vox better?

This... I like this.

This one snuck up on me in a cool way. It's simple and delicate and completely beautiful. Great job gradually building this one up. heart

Sweet and subtle, yet moving and powerful. Well done you two!

Nice combination of the harmonium and the mantra. It's different and meditative, i like it.

Very harmonious

Depending on your instrument placements, a shotgun mic can isolate sources pretty well

Thanks! Jordan sits on the ground to play his harmonium, which is on the ground. The harmonium outputs sound upward (mostly). The vocal mic and instrument mic for harmonium and player are very close, just pointed in different directions. I will research this and maybe just get one to try it out. It's never bad to have more mics, right?
