      That’s the spirit! Lol. I’ve heard using open back or semi open back headphones with singers can help with this, if they’re good singers and the resonance in their head is thrown off by the closed back nature of the phones. Worth a shot!

    • @germanbushin9723
      @germanbushin9723 2 роки тому

      @@samchoate1719 That's a pretty interesting trick, gotta try that. But I think it may hurt the mix more due to the entire mix bleeding from the headphones into the mic. I don't even record in closed headphones, I usually use in-ear headphones, it's the only way I don't get any bleed.

  • @FLH3official
    @FLH3official 3 роки тому +7

    An other old trick for singer managing: for some of them who have this tendency to go further away from the mike is to put an other mike behind their head, telling them it's for enhancing the recording, it's done like that in abbey road studios, etc etc... Well, be creativ and cheat.
    And the singer, trying to avoid to bump the rear mike with his/her head will stay in the correct distances.

    The pencil trick is nice. Pair that with off axis and that's a good combo! The whole vocal pulling back drives me nuts! Keeping them at same distance and slight turn of head is super helpful. I learned that one a few years ago and it really helps keep that vocal full and not have to compress as much to regulate volume.

    Here’s a tip that relates to monitor volume. If a singer keeps singing sharp, turn down the volume. If they are singing flat, turn up the volume. This will make them sing with more or less power which can sometimes affect their pitch. I also have a great way to get them to get out of a rut if they keep messing up their take, you have to come on my podcast though haha. Great work man. Love the channel.
