DESCRIPTION: Marcel talks us through his final choice of mic via nuggets of wisdom about positioning, sibilance and pop shields.

The wind is the big enemy of sound. Marcel discusses pop shields in-depth, using an SM58 and Neumann U87.

Before choosing a mic, he listens to the voice acoustically first, then through each mic in his arsenal.

After choosing the vintage Sony C37A he demonstrates the proximity effect and considers the ideal position for the mic, which also depends on how much of the proximity effect you want to use in the context of the rest of the music.

Sibilance is also under discussion about why it a likely problem on large diaphragm microphones and how to deal with it without resorting to de-essers.

A good recording also needs a good headphone mix which should make the vocalist as comfortable as possible to get the best performance.

And then there’s the question of tracking with EQ and compression. Find out why you probably wouldn’t (but nevertheless might) use signal...
