In this video we talk about the basic principals of recording vocals with a condenser microphone.
I'm showing with Natalie Jansen an Apprentice from the Recording Connection some techniques and tricks on how to capture a great vocal sound and make the artists feel comfortable, so they can deliver a great performance.
Working with Apprentices has been a hugely rewarding experience for me!
Over the last few years many of my Assistant Engineers have gone to be incredibly successful.
Phil Allen who Assisted, Engineered, Co Produced and Co Wrote with me won a Grammy for recording Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’. Brian Joseph who was my Assistant for The Fray’s self titled second album won a Grammy for Bon Iver’s second album. Robin Holden who Assisted and Engineered for me now is a very successful creating music for Film, TV and Commercials.
They say that you will never learn as much as when you teach. The truth is as I explain recording basics I am constantly reminded of subtle things that can influence capturing great performances.
Ultimately creating an environment where an Artist can perform is the most important thing!
The basic technical side must be understood but it shouldn’t our main focus.
Produce Like A Pro is a website which features great tips to help the beginning recordist make incredible sounding home recordings on a budget.

Hey look, it's me!
Thanks to everyone for watching and see ya next month, I henceforth promise to keep all the questions and faces coming :)
Hi Friends, in today's video we talk about the basic principals of recording vocals with a condenser microphone.
I'm showing with Natalie Jansen an Apprentice from the Recording Connection several techniques and tricks on how to capture a great vocal sound and make the artists feel comfortable, so they can deliver a great performance. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks Warren ! in process just now of setting up a small space studio, in a "sub - let" situation in an old 'turn of the century'"New England style mill building w/ high ceiling and wooden floors. ...so any tricks you have are valued immensely!! thanks so much!!
When I see you in this video, I wished the guys in my first internship were as human as you. You seem to be profoundly dedicated to share your knowledges and good attitude. It what makes this industry better : sharing, connection peoples, acting as whole, a community. It's people like you that make the industry better.
Now I'm happy where I am, but I had to tell you that to encourage to continue being such a nice human being and teacher.
Thank you Warren.
That girl should have her own series! She has the charisma. Make more videos with her and let her ask all the questions ever, a recording session would be pretty interesting!
Wow Arvangath VGM, I'm sure Natalie will love to hear that! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
she is cute your right yeah ! ha : P
tighter = better rejection!
I love this video...:)
Thanks very much independentsaint!! Here's to a wonderful and Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
All the best to you too mate! I have been enjoying your videos for a while now and I hope you will keep on coming up with more of the good stuff...
Bought a new mike years ago, went for a Rodes (500 dollars Canadian) Music shop talked me into getting a Lewitt LCT 240 cheaper.
They said that the engineer who worked for Rodes went off on his own and came up with equal quality at lesser price. Prices in USA
are usually 1/2 of the Canadian prices. Very happy with the results. Not as good as the one you are using but not bad on a budget.
Had problems recording with performers who tap there hands or shuffle their feet.
This is going to help me out when working with my new microphone. Thanks for the insight Warren, we all appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos 😃
Hi Hybrid Life Music, so glad to be able to help!! Thanks for the kind words! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
It's nice to see you have a mentoring program, it's important to pass on this information to the next generation. I'm a Luthier, I was lucky to have great mentors. They told me not to forget to teach what I have learned to up and coming Luthiers. It's very satisfying.
Thanks for watching, I can only hope one day I'll be in the position to mentor the next next generation!
Great stuff here again! Can't wait to hear some of her work after hanging around and learning from Warren. Lucky Girl!
you are great ! im following your videos as i 'm really intersted in production,and i was looking for the right people to listen to.i must say you are so humble,so great to know there are still people like that in this business! greetings from Italy hey!
Just found this, old vid yet marvellous vid and Natalie is marvellous too!
Thanks ever so much my friend!
So awesome that you're a mentor for Recording Connection. I went through that program in 2007-2008 and it molded me into the producer/engineer I am today.
That's fantastic to hear Skyler Felix!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
22:11 I love the face that Natalie makes LOL
Ok, I have to watch this again, I've just realised that Natalie is reacting to almost everything that Warren says - she's hilarious.
Haha yes indeed Rob! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
What I wouldn't give to be your apprentice, Warren! Great stuff, as always. Thanks for sharing, and have a marvellous time!
Oh, and what was the band?
I learned so much from watching this. I will put into practice in my next vocal. Thanks!
Great video, as always. I wanted to point out something I have heard on several videos in reference to the "behind the mic" sound isolators, and add some info. While many point out that it is behind the mic, in the area of least pickup for a cardioid pattern setting, they are missing the concept. The intention of of these devices is not to block sound from coming in the back of the microphone, it is to trap sound going out from the signer's voice before it can get out into the room and reverberate. That is why it is in front of the singer... it is in the path of the greatest output of sound from the source.
Obviously, not as efficient as deadening the reflective surfaces of a room, it does help trap the source sound somewhat, and can help if you must face an unfriendly, hard surface while singing. Not an endorsement of the concept, just a clarifier on the intent of the design, and why it is located behind the mic.
The face she made when you said 'Women tend to...' I practically peed myself.
Haha Dustin what did I say? Geez! Serves me right! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
In all honesty is was a pretty dumbass thing to say.. perhaps a slip of the tongue? .. or maybe that's really your experience with women. I think though, that you'll find many, many female musicians who absolutely DO NOT struggle with time.
haha! I think I made the exact same face as she did at that moment.
@@chrisrobson2203 just to clear the air for Warren here, I think what he actually said if you go back and listen was that women in his limited experience tend to prefer physical movement to a rhythm while they're tracking, as if live, not that they tend to sing out of time.
@@danielcampoli4370 3 years ago.. way to clear the air! haha!!!
Very useful and inspiring as always, Warren, thank you!
Raven The Crow thanks ever so much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Great opportunity to be an apprentice for a great mentor such as yourself. I went through the program about 8 years ago and it created a great long lasting friendship/relationship with my mentor.
Hi StrongTower Muzik, I appreciate your kind words! That's great to hear you had a great experience! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great video again Warren! Showing the practical side of the actual recordingsession (like the guitar session earlier) would be a great addition! Areas such as: the recording chain and settings, setting/monitoring gain levels, creating cue mixes, organising different takes in the DAW, adjusting for timing issues, post recording processing (leveling, effects, mixing etc.)
Hi Thomas, thanks ever so much for the great suggestions! They are all really good! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, I love your videos as I do your production work! After many hours of experimenting and tracking with those arc-shaped "reflection filters" with various sources (with varying success) in my quite less-than-stellar recording space, I think I can provide some useful practical info:
Their manufacturers really don't explain how they actually work, that would require them to manage expectations and that's not conducive to product sales! The key is in their interaction with the sound source, not so much the microphone. They're designed to keep the source's sound out of the room, and therefore the room sound (excited by the sound source) out of the recording. How well this works depends on the source's directionality, volume, and proximity to the filter - vocals (very directional close-up) that are well-contained within the screen area are often managed quite well, while most instruments will radiate into the room much more and are not not so well managed. This explains why my vocal tracks are quite "room-less" while my acoustic guitar recordings (for example) still need to be closer-mic'd than I'd like and using a small screen is often much less effective. Also, I usually get the best results if the mic is at least somewhat "submerged" within the filter's arc, to reduce off-axis pickup; I control proximity effect by keeping the vocalist a set distance from the filter (usually as close as practical) and moving just the mic (separately mounted) within that space.
So in short, I've found that "reflection filters" work (or don't) by keeping sound in, not out. I hope this helps someone out there! On to watch more of your stellar videos now....
Thank you Warren for your passion to share your experiences and knowledge! Tons of respect and love from Russia!
This is great, and Natalie had really good questions... Thanks Natalie and Warren!
Thanks ever so much noisesoundtonevibe! Yes, I had a great time doing this video with Natalie! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
thank YOU! excited to make more of these videos, and will try to keep my question quality top notch :)
Always excellent video as usual ! Thank You !
Thanks androidcomplet! Thanks ever so much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
i've taken on 3 apprentices from Recording Connection so far! It's been a great experience
Garza that's wonderful! My main Engineer Eric is from Recording Connection! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Thanks!
A marvelous work. Really really thanks for this massive informative videos. I am watching your videos everyday for almost 2 weeks and there are still more. Learned a lot. Thnx again....
Hi Gedestt, so glad you are enjoying the videos! Thanks ever so much for the great comment! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Sorry for taking your time but i'm in a country where i am stuck with Shure headphones and there is no other brand.And internet reviews not giving an idea. Maybe you can give a clue about Shure SRH840 or SRH940s for Rock editing and mixing. thnx.
Hi Gedestt, I have used Shure headphones a few times and my memory is they sound great and are really comfortable! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I'm so happy am subscribe here , so much tips and knowledge thanks warren
Thanks ever so much Norman! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I soooo envy that tape machine! Amazing studio!
Hi Mark, thanks very much! Yes, it's lovely isn't it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
New to "Produce Like a Pro" and I picked up great tips watching your video today and I've been at this for a couple decades. New fan and I'll be watching!
Thanks ever so much Terry! So glad to be able to help!! Thanks for your extremely kind words! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great video that helps explain the fundamentals!
Hi Vulture Culture, thanks ever so much! Really glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren.....hope you have a marvellous time in the kitchen mixing up dried fruit and spices to make wonderful festive mince pies. Merry Xmas
I love Mince Pies! Yummy! Merry Christmas! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I always reckon a hand span from the mic. Lean back for loud notes
its also worth noting that its usually a good idea to turn the air conditioning off too before you start recording vox ;)
Richard James haha sure and best not to put the mic in the control room in front of the speakers! It's just in there to easily show it off! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Im a big fan of your producer/music series! - Dante
Thanks ever so much FromAshToPhoenix! I really appreciate it!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Have a wonderful Christmas Warren. My CD with Phil Naro (Billy Sheehan, Brian May, Julean Lennon so on...) should be out very soon. Thanks again for everything.
That's wonderful Jack! Congratulations!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hey Warren again awesome and very honest video. Thanks for the info and fresh tips.
Rodney D thanks ever so much!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
As regards pop screens, an instructor of mine in recording told me the people with whom he worked in the industry mostly used them to protect delicate expensive mics from inadvertent spit more than to filter out consonants.
very nourishing indeed
Hi Teilo, thanks ever so much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I was waiting for performance :)
Thanks for this. Very cool. If you could also do a video some day about recording levels for lead vocals, such as what you target for the average signal level and maximum peaks. Also, if, how and what you might put between the mic and printing, such as compression and EQ, how many compression stages, how much signal you might reduce at each stage,-that would be wonderful. Lots of conflicting info out there on this.
Great tutorial! Marvelous you like that Lewitt mic - Austrian product at last. Greeting from Austria!
Counter The Eulogy I love Lewitt Mics!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Great advise sir...
Thanks ever so much Himanshu Dutt! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great video as usual. It would be interesting to see a video about the connectivity of outboard analog equipment to the audio interface, the how/to and proper stage gain, specialy from analog outboard micpreams (with only analog outs) to ad/da converters. Ex: vintage equipment to Saffire/Clarett/Apollo/etc
Hi Boxer Studios, that is a fantastic idea! I think that will be an amazing future video for this format! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I'm pretty experienced as an engineer but this video taught me a lot. good job
Thanks ever so much Symphony Swingg! I am very glad you enjoyed the video! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
These kind of videos are very helpful! Thank you :-)
Thanks 2342938749, so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
What a marvellous video. Thank you sir :)
Thank you Chris!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Chris J
มนตรี พวงดี not sure what your writing said
Thank you for this great video!
Could you please make a video about your workflow? Like with which instrument do you usually start to record? Drums, guitars? That would help a lot to have a little insight on it from you. I know it's always different but maybe hearing your opinion on it would be great
Hi guitarplayer1994, great question! It really depends on the band, the artist and the song! If it's a live Rock band I still prefer to track them together and then fix. If it's a more programmed sounding track then I might build the band over it or track live instruments and then add programmed elements! There will definitely be more videos which will show the different ways you can work! Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas!! Have a marvellous New Year! Many thanks Warren
Also, one more quick thing, as I've noticed this in a couple of your videos. The purpose of those semi-circular sound dampening devices isn't to inhibit sound from entering the mic from behind. The purpose is to immediately dampen the live sound right after it's entered the mic, so that it doesn't bounce around the room and eventually enter the mic from the front, if that makes sense. In this way, theoretically, there'd be less need for a lot of padding behind the singer because there'd be much fewer room reflections.
Thanks for the message! Yes, I completely understand the idea behind selling people those devices, I like to encourage people to use the more effective way first that Engineers do. If you were in an incredibly large reflective room then it might help along with a vocal booth, even a home made one. My gut is most people are buying these are home recordists in small bedrooms though. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Another cool tutorial, mate. Thanks a lot. One of my colleagues calls pop screen a "spitter". Pretty funny
Haha that's funny artbasss! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I would love to have Warren Huart as my mentor
Awsome as usual Warren. Natalie your little cheeky bugger...hehehe! but I think we'll like having you around :)
Thanks Rob! Haha glad you enjoyed the video!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
u have great instructional skills
Thanks ever so much Sparks!! Here's to a wonderful and Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Can confirm! Mr. Huart is a marvellous mentor :)
marvellous))
Thanks ingoodmusic!! Yes, truly marvellous! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great video.
Thanks very much P Kaos! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks, Merry Christmas.
P Kaos Merry Christmas to you too! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Haha great! I once told the same technical stuff to a girl and she just ran away. Guess i am not such a great teacher as you are. Thanks for the insight, very cool tips!
Hi Dries, I hear you! It's taken me many years to learn in a fraction of what you should know! I am not an expert at all my friend! Keep working on your music! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Natalie has a twin here in Texas who plays the piano wrights her songs and recorded 2 cd's her name is Donna Linton of San Angelo Tx. and is on you tube Stars of Texas Production Center produced by David C. Tillery
Wow that's amazing David! A doppelgänger! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
hello Mr Pro :P
i have a question about Types of EQ's (Digital and Analogue) and What Makes every type Special and the Pros and Cons of each type. (if possible would you please talk about that in a video) if possible
also what do you do to get that vocals aligned perfectly. in the mix
and what are types of Mics (general types with some examples) and what're the Pros and Cons of each type.
i hope you're having a good time mixing and recording.
Thankyou for another helpful video. I notice that sometimes you out source certain bits of work to others and would appreciate it if you could explain the different terms used to refer to professionals in the industry. For example: engineer, mix engineer, producer et cetera. knowing these types of terms would clear up some misconceptions. Best regards, Daniel
Hi Daniel, that's a great idea for a video! Thanks very much for letting me know!! Here's to an amazing 2017!! Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
ps..the Lewitt lcd 940 sounds like a 'fab" idea for my experimental studio! i have been utilizing "KSM's " but ready for a change! thanks and cheers!
That's wonderful to hear!
4:09 my favourite moment where Natalie shaking shoulders, so damn funny :))
Вячеслав Аркатов haha genius! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
I dont know if you still do videos, but any tips for performers to get their best takes in a studio ? singers, guitarists, bass players, drummers etc
This video remind me a lot! All the singers how came in the studio never warm up before recording and all time i´m trying to be a mentor and its so hard sometimes! Warren... How you work about it? have you any anecdote of a famous singer producer how warm o have any metod to encourage my clientes to warm up before recording? Thx warren!! cheers!
Hi Closbit, that's a hue questions! Some singers warm while singing, so if this is the case just work on the verses, the lower parts, this forces them to warm up! Avoid the loud portions of the song until they've sung for at least 15-20 mins! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Ahh! the IKEA Dave i need to get one of them.
About the booth thing..always wonder about what side should focus the absorbers. I wasn't wrong , thanks for clarify that.
Thanks Isaac! Glad to be able to help!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Wow! Great video, I would love to be mentored by a great engineer such as yourself :)
Hi Tiege, thanks very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
lewitt lct 940 vs neumann m149 .. whatt will you choose?? @warren
do you add fx e.g., a bit of plate to make the vocalist more comfortable or should the vocalist hear and record his voice dry? Thank you, obrigado in Portuguese
Hey Warren, I was wondering what is the name of the device you were using to control the polar patterns of the microphone? Cool Lesson by the way...✌😀
Boss, Boss the band the band
Yesss
Thanks Jonathan! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Jack Douglas is alumnus of my school
Pls suggest a good microphone. I hv budget for these.
1. Audio Technica AT2020
2. Lewitt LCT 240PRO
3. AKG P120
4. Audio Technica AT2035
5. AKG P220
6. Rode NT1-A
7. Lauten Audio LA 220
Suggest at least top 3.
Great vid, Warren - thanks! Difficult question - I record home studio old Korg D1200 via cheap MXL 990 LD condenser. Listening through headphones sounds ok, but through computer speakers, I can't get that full sound of a pro recording. I record dry in a relatively dead room, adding just a bit of reverb, minimal delay, EQ, 24 bit. What can I do to improve the sound besides getting better mic and new DAW?
Hi Jay, great question! Sounds like the answer is in your question, maybe better studio monitors? There are some good powered monitors out there! It really depends on your budget! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, I was just wondering what you think of Mid-Side mic recording on acoustic guitar and are there any tips you may have for it?
Hi Paul, great question! I don't often use Mid-Side for recording, very rarely and never on acoustic guitar! I'm sure some people do, but I don't. If I do want stereo I might record on the back of the body, although 99% of the time I stay mono. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
How is the microphone called again? Didn't know about this one.
to cool
Hi Dan, thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
MIC INTERFERENCE WARNING Hi Warren! Great video as always, so I'm even more urged to point out a flaw of the rodelink wireless you are using to mic yourself. About 2:33 i began to hear the interference noise in high registers - comes and goes, a bit like a cell phone interference but much more fluid. This is caused by poor mic shielding in some units, the more prominent it gets the more cable is close to the transmitter. Replacing the mic with sennheisser ME2 solved my problem (I had the same issuse as you in here with the supplied rode mic). And not all rode mic supplied with those wireless sets are faulty - I finally got a working one. All the best wishes!
Hi Sam, thanks ever so much for that tip! I will check out the Sennheiser! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Well - I think any well shielded lav will do, or this interference could also be coming from that ...adapter cable? The short cable between the mic and the transmiter.
Hi Sama, that mic actually doesn't have any interference, it's the other one that has it from time to time. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
can i plug a mixers main outs into my 2 channel interface?like the one on here and is that fine or should i just go usb str8 out of my board?my mixer is a behringer x air 18 with midas pres.
Use the USB interface which will save going through extra AD.DA stages.
But yes you could hook up the main outs of the mixer to your interface if you need a quick hookup.
i use the x32 and m32 consoles regularly so its not straightfowrard to get the masteroutputs using the USB as you have to assign a block of outputs to card, so you wuld assign say card 1-8 to a block of outputs that your master outs are on. on the c32/,32 its usually 15 and 16 so card 1-8 set to outputs 9-16 and on the computer it out be inputs 7 and 8
Hey Warren. In your experience as a producer, what does the FET mic sound do in terms of sonics that is different from a tube mic sound? Just wondering what the pros and cons you have found with using both FET and tube settings/mics.
Hi Taylor, great question! On this particular mic the Tube side adds a tiny amount more low mids and high end, the Fet sounds slightly harder sounding, leaving me to believe the mid range is a tiny bit ore pronounced. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro - Thanks so much, Warren. Love that dual ability for both FET and tube on the preamp for the Lewitt. :) TC
Hi Taylor, I agree! It's a great tool! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
would be nice to have some B Roll close ups... great vid nevertheless
Yes indeed JAFO, we aim to improve all the time! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi warren, any tips to make my home "bedroom" studio more acoustically treatment for mixing purpose and taking vocal?
Hi Tele, I have two videos with Acoustic Designers that I recommend, John Brandt 1) ruclips.net/video/rk83egKXnkY/видео.html and Barry Rudolph 2) ruclips.net/video/EtGWIil3D98/видео.html Check them out and let me know how you get on! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro thanks warren for your reply. Gonna check it out very soon.
You're welcome Tele Caster! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren. What is the benefit of printing your signal with a HP filter rather than doing it with an EQ afterwards?
Thanks.
Hi zoolfilms, great question! You can do both ways of course, but I do prefer to print the sound the way I want to hear it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thanks Warren!
What band were you in?
I was in a band called Star 69 and another one called Dis Inc! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
sir i wan to know that can you tell me your music software
Hi John, I mainly use Pro Tools. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
sir ...thankiu very much i don't have yet but surly i will buy and i need you to focus everything
PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON YOUR APOLLO TWIN!!!!!
Haha ok one day I promise! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro thanks warren!
You're most welcome! Here's to a wonderful and Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
How do i copyright my music?
gotta pick up that "shnizzle" ! : P
Haha yes do it kingdizzyworld! Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas!! Have a marvellous New Year! Many thanks Warren
$+ill luvin' it. ;)
Thanks Jesse! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
A video about recording vocals where no vocals are recorded?
Hy warrent. do you have any advice about recording hiphop vocal(especially Trap)? in adobe audition if you will..
thank you before.
6:15 - she almost got triggered but you managed your way out of it.
Haha indeed! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hello, is the Neumann TLM 103 a very good mic for vocals ?
Yes, fantastic mic indeed!
Oh, she's gorgeous
Haha I'll let her know!
Sorry if I sound like such a novice; is the device you were playing with next to the the mic a preamp? And if so, what is the specific make/ model?
Also, what mic preamps do you recommend under $1000?
Thank You!
Hello, Warren! I recently got a Rode NT1000, i like the sound quality, but i'm thinking it is sometimes too bright and sibillant when I'm recording vocals. What strategies do you recommend to get a warmer sound? Do you think a preamp would help? I'm currently using only the interface preamp (m-audio fast track). Thanks!
Hi Luã Linhares, great question! Yes a higher quality pre amp will definitely help, how are you mixing the track? Is a De Esser able to take care of the excessive sibilance? Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
What is noise floor?
Great question! Here's the dictionary definition 'In signal theory, the noise floor is the measure of the signal created from the sum of all the noise sources and unwanted signals within a measurement system, where noise is defined as any signal other than the one being monitored.' So in plain English, when you plug a piece of equipment in and regardless of a signal going through it there is an inherent noise which the unit generates. Does that make sense?Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro thanks! sounds pretty straight forward. How do we sweep that noisy floor?
Haha Lindsy Says Official! Funny! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
so what you think about this mic on rap are dancehall vacals
Hi Dilla, great question! I think it would sound amazing! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
+Produce Like A Pro ok thank you
You're welcome Dilla! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Warren, way to advance the visibility of women in audio! You're doing good and important work.
Benjamin Richards thanks! I appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
what if your son missed out on the opportunity, because he wasn't a woman?
+1 to increasing the visibility of women in audio. Mentorship is important, but unpaid internships are likely illegal (at least here in the States), even if it's "industry standard". And for many industries that's a key cause of racial and socioeconomic exclusion. They are systemic inequities that can have nothing to do with any conscious intentions to discriminate, but nevertheless recreate imbalances of opportunities.
i laugh my ass of when she sad she is doing marvelous well,isn't that your sentence lol :D
Hi Maškov Production, haha yes, I think it's becoming quite popular! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Ok.. so Jonathan got to do the fist like followed by the first comment... but I get to ask the first stupid question ...=O)~ so that said.. here it is ..... you said mic, 1073, 160, to 1176 ?? are you running it through 2 compressors before your interface ? or recording ?? what is the purpose for doing this ??
ps... lol.... awesome, awesome awesome video... again.. so glad your entering this phase of videos.. these are really , really helpful .... thanks as always...
Hi Kyle, great question! YES! I go BAE 1073, 160 VU doing light compression and then the 1176 just to catch peaks! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hi Kyle, thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed the new videos! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
