The authors present a new way of recording of music bands using a single microphone array and audio source separation algorithms. In contrast to the traditional recording process; this novel approach allows for capturing all of musical instruments simultaneously using only one recording device, avoiding a multiple sets of spot microphones, cables and A/D converters. Moreover, using a single microphone array and dedicated algorithms gives the sound engineer a unique set of audio processing tools which can be efficientyly used in the post-production stage. This paper describes stcp-by-stcp a recording process of a music band playing ukulele using a 19-capsulcs spherical microphone array and the dedicated software. The process includes the following stages: recording, sound source separation, mixing and mastering.
