Make the Singer Comfortable

I spent the last few days down in Tennessee, just outside of Nashville. Monday afternoon I recorded some vocals for an upcoming project my brother-in-law is working on.

It was in a cool studio. We used a Neumann U87 and ran it through a nice Amek mic pre. It sounded really nice.

It’s been a long time since I tracked vocals outside of my home studio. I’m used to being the only one there, wearing both the engineer hat and the musician hat. We’ve all done it a hundred times. You hit record, run over to the mic, record the take, run back to the computer, stop recording, listen, run back to the mic and do it again.
