"Session
Photos" is about letting you come into
the studio with us on interesting sessions, or on-stage
for major live gigs, to see first-hand how people in
all walks of music are using Royer ribbon microphones.
From this page you can view pictures of major and independent
recording sessions, check out live miking setups, listen
to MP3's of engineers talking about how they use ribbon
microphones and hear MP3's of ribbon-recorded music.
The sessions run from classical ensembles to jazz dates
to pop music to bone-crunching rock bands - pretty
much whatever we could get our hands on that we thought
would be of interest to you.
Ongoing
sessions:
Session Photos is a work in progress, so check back every
few weeks for new sessions. If there's anything you'd like
to see that's not here, or if you have suggestions on how
to improve Session Photos, please email
us. |

Over
the past few years, Grammy winner Ross Hogarth has invited
us to a number of his recording sessions. We've learned
a lot about our microphones' capabilities during those
sessions. We got the idea for "Session Photos" while
we were shooting the Devildriver pictures - the setups
were just too cool to not share with the rest of the recording
world!
