Engineer Nic Hard talks about why Lauten Audio mics \u201cworked out perfectly\u201d<\/h3>\n

Snarky Puppy\u2019s upcoming album \u201cEmpire Central\u201d is a return-to-roots masterpiece, tracked live in front of a studio audience and slated for release this Autumn.<\/p>\n

Tasked with capturing 19 musicians simultaneously, recording and mix engineer Nic Hard employed 26 Lauten Audio microphones<\/a> for use on the group\u2019s 14th album.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really believe that without these mics, the record wouldn’t sound the same. Lauten Audio mics are now an important part of my arsenal,\u201d says Hard.<\/p>\n

Looking back on the 8-night live recording session at the Deep Ellum Art Company in Dallas, Texas, Nic Hard reveals, \u201cWhat stood out to me the most was Lauten\u2019s functionality and manipulability. I loved having all of the filters on the mics, and I loved the control of bleed I could get with the LS-208s, as well as being able to change the sonic character of the Atlantis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTrinity\u201d is the first single from Empire Central currently available on YouTube, where many of the 26 Lauten Audio mics can be seen on-screen. \u201cEvery Lauten mic seen in the video, and those not seen, is used in the mix,\u201d stated Hard. \u201cThey worked out perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n
