    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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....

  • @Vocalnebula
    @Vocalnebula 7 років тому

    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.

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  7 років тому +1

      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

    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.

      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

    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!

    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?

    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.

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  7 років тому +1

      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

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  7 років тому

      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

    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.

    • @vedasticks
      @vedasticks 7 років тому +1

      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

      +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.

    What is noise floor?

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  7 років тому

      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
