D8 Skills #116 | Experimenting with Vocal Recording

After Session #7 with Andy, I went into another studio to do some experimenting.

  • I compared the Neumann U87 to the Shure SM7B... for my voice, I prefer the Shure SM7B.
  • I compared singing into a mic on a stand vs handheld... I found that handheld yields better results.
  • I compared placing the microphone in different positions in the room... I found that the best sound came from when I was singing right up against an acoustic panel on the wall (as shown above).
