Jake Jackson Mics in Orchestra Professional [Solved]

stefanbreitbach

Hi there,

would it be possible to get some details about the Jake Jackson mixes, which of the mics he used and the approach he followed, so that it would be easier to understand if it is worth to combine his mics with some other provided mics in the pro version.

kind regards

Hi @stefanbreitbach this is discussed briefly on page 29 of the BBC SO Pro manual which also includes a diagram of the microphone positions. Specifically it states:

MIX 1

Jake Jackson’s mix, which is a balance of commonly used microphone positions. A great starting point! This is specifically a mix of the Decca Tree, Outriggers, Ambient, Balcony, Mids (not on the Strings!), and Close signals. 

MIX 2

Jake Jackson’s second mix, which is a bit more ‘hyped’ in sound, with some added Compression, EQ, and Reverb. This is specifically a mix of the Decca Tree, Outriggers, Ambient, Balcony, Sides, Atmos Front, Stereo, Mids and Close signals. Neither of Jake’s mixes use the Spill signals, so these can be dialled in as bonus!
