When recording a band live in the studio, paying attention to microphone pickup patterns during setup can help minimize bleed. Also known as “spill” or “leakage,” bleed occurs when mics pick up audio from sources other than what they were intended to capture.

In this excerpt from History of the Beatles Recording Techniques: Episode 4, we see Ken Scott setting up the vocal mic, a Neumann U47, similar to how it was done in an early Beatles recording session.
