Tips On Recording A Tabla

When it comes to percussion, we sometimes tend to lump it all in with drum recording technique. That’s far from how it should be approached though, as each different type of percussion needs a special technique in order to optimize the way it’s recorded. Here’s a great video where tablaist Sirish Kumar Manji shows you how to record and use tabla primarily in an electronic production, but most of the information pertains to just about any music. Also, it shows how Ableton Live can be just as useful as a recorder as other DAWs.
