Mitski | I Bet on Losing Dogs | AEA Sessions @Ribbonmics

AEA Ribbon Mics & Preamps Mitski performs I Bet On Losing Dogs on The AEA Sessions | aearibbonmics.com/videos/aea-sessions-mitski

This installment of our AEA Sessions video series features New York-based singer-songwriter, Mitski, as she performs three songs from her 2016 album, ‘Puberty 2’.

Alone with her guitar and washed in a warm, orange glow, Mitski delivers dynamic performances that explore a range of texture and tone. In ‘My Body Is Made Of Crushed Little Stars’, she sings of youthful restlessness while her guitar roars with energy and ferocity. In contrast, her words of somber sympathy in ‘I Bet On Losing Dogs’ ring most true atop her delicate finger-picked guitar playing.

In these sessions, Mitski’s voice and guitar come together to create singular, evocative moments that linger in the mind. To best capture these moments, we rely on the simple, but effective combination of the near-field N22 and far-field, stereo R88.

Both Mitski’s vocal and guitar cab are recorded by the near-field NUVO N22, while the stereo R88 records the room.

Introducing the AEA RPQ3 preamp

AEA Ribbon Mics & Preamps 2023-07-18 | Based on the circuit design of our celebrated RPQ2, the RPQ3 features a powerful combination of ultra-low noise, low-distortion op-amps, ultra-high 68 kΩ input impedance, and 85 dB of clean gain, all packaged in a durable full-rack chassis. The RPQ3 also includes an expanded EQ section with boost and cut controls for both low and high end as well as a new low-end frequency sweep to identify and eliminate rumbles and resonances. The RPQ3 was designed to work great on passive ribbon microphones, however, when a preamp works well with a passive ribbon microphone, it will excel on every microphone. At once open, transparent, and musical, the RPQ3 is a versatile tool for the front end of any signal path. As with all AEA electronics, the circuit in the RPQ3 was designed by Fred Forssell.

Andy Shauf | Changer | AEA Sessions | February 2020

AEA Ribbon Mics & Preamps 2023-03-23 | For more information and AEA Session videos, please visit: aearibbonmics.com/aea-sessions

In this previously unreleased AEA Sessions video from 2020, the featured artist is Andy Shauf. He performs a stripped-down version of "Changer," which is the final track from his 2020 album "The Neon Skyline." The performance consists solely of Shauf's voice and guitar, providing a raw and intimate listening experience.

The KU5A was developed with the vocalist in mind. Its end-address directionality and tight supercardioid pattern make it ideal for focusing on a vocal while rejecting excessive bleed from other sources in a space. The N22 is a near-field ribbon microphone adept at capturing instruments from close up, with less low-end proximity effect. These mics work together brilliantly to capture a singer-songwriter like Andy Shauf

(Although the R88 appears in the video, none of its signal was used in the final mix.)

AEA Ribbon Mics & Preamps 2019-01-30 | For more information and AEA Session videos, please visit: aearibbonmics.com/aea-sessions

Jay Som is the featured artist in one of our most unique AEA Sessions yet. Recorded entirely by the new supercardioid KU5A, Jay Som performs ‘Baybee’ from their 2017 album, ‘Everybody Works’. From the cozy comfort of a living room-turned-practice space, Jay Som demonstrate a playful, but precise chemistry.

The sharp directionality of the KU5A allows an entire band like Jay Som to record live and in close proximity without excessive bleed or room tone. It gives engineers and artists a unique combination of superb directionality and warm ribbon tonality in an active, road-ready form factor.

Margaret Glaspy & Tyler Chester | ‘I Do by Sarah Siskind | AEA Sessions

AEA Ribbon Mics & Preamps 2018-10-10 | For more information and AEA Session videos, please visit: aearibbonmics.com/aea-sessions

Singer-songwriter, Margaret Glaspy and instrumentalist Tyler Chester deliver a potent rendition of Sarah Siskind’s ‘I Do’ with AEA’s new supercardioid KU5A on vocals and amps. Bathed in the soft light of the chandeliers at Hollywood Forever’s Masonic Lodge, Glaspy sings Siskind’s words of slow healing in the wake of a relationship’s end.

The KU5A is the ideal ribbon microphone for vocals because of its acute directionality and extended top end. As a near-field ribbon with restrained proximity effect, it is also highly effective on speaker cabinets.

Too Marvelous Trio | This Is My Night To Dream | AEA Sessions

AEA Ribbon Mics & Preamps 2018-07-26 | For more information and AEA Session videos, please visit: aearibbonmics.com/aea-sessions

Our latest AEA Session features three mighty AEA R44s capturing the Too Marvelous Trio as they perform Nat King Cole’s ‘This Is My Night To Dream’. A tribute to the great Nat King Cole Trio, the Too Marvelous Trio implements the same guitar, upright bass, and piano format that Nat King Cole relied on to record countless classic jazz recordings.

One active A440 microphone captures the piano and vocal simultaneously, while another captures the upright bass. The guitar is recorded by an R44CX. The resulting sound brilliantly demonstrates the expansive sonic range of the AEA R44 series microphones.

Filmed and recorded at Nest Recorders, Los Angeles, CA.

Short & Sweet | Let It Go | AEA Sessions

AEA Ribbon Mics & Preamps 2018-03-26 | For more information and AEA Session videos, please visit: aearibbonmics.com/aea-sessions

This installation of AEA Sessions features the harmonious duo, Short & Sweet, comprising Liz Beebe and Z. Lupetin of The Dustbowl Revival, as they perform an original track, 'Let It Go', into an R84A and N22.

Their performance is reminiscent of classic methods of vocal harmony recording in which two or more vocalists surround one mic to track organic, live harmonies. The pair sing words of self-forgiveness that embrace the power of the present moment and reflect the simplicity of their performance style. The active R84A supplies rich warmth to the vocals as the N22 provides detail and clarity to the finger-picked guitar and rhythmic finger-snapping.

The R84A and N22 run through the newly issued TRP2 and an R88 runs through RPQ500's to record a guitar amp with echo effect.

Mitski | Burning Hill | AEA Sessions

AEA Ribbon Mics & Preamps 2018-02-15 | Mitski performs Burning Hill on The AEA Sessions | aearibbonmics.com/videos/aea-sessions-mitski

This installment of our AEA Sessions video series features New York-based singer-songwriter, Mitski, as she performs three songs from her 2016 album, ‘Puberty 2’.

Alone with her guitar and washed in a warm, orange glow, Mitski delivers dynamic performances that explore a range of texture and tone. In ‘My Body Is Made Of Crushed Little Stars’, she sings of youthful restlessness while her guitar roars with energy and ferocity. In contrast, her words of somber sympathy in ‘I Bet On Losing Dogs’ ring most true atop her delicate finger-picked guitar playing.

In these sessions, Mitski’s voice and guitar come together to create singular, evocative moments that linger in the mind. To best capture these moments, we rely on the simple, but effective combination of the near-field N22 and far-field, stereo R88.

Both Mitski’s vocal and guitar cab are recorded by the near-field NUVO N22, while the stereo R88 records the room. All tracks are without equalization or compression and the reverb is provided by a plate reverb unit.
