Recording Vocals at a Home Studio

Video Transcript

Hello, this is Aaron De Azevado, and I'm here with Expert Village. I'm going to teach you about miking vocals. So, what we have right here, it's called a large-diaphragm condenser mike. These are the, for most people, this is their favorite kind of mike to use to do vocals. And you see right here, we've got a windscreen. This is called a shock mount right here. This is to make sure that, if I stomp, or the, or there's sound from the ground it doesn't come up here and affect this too much, it doesn't affect the sound. So, I also have a windscreen. This is to help with certain vowels, for example a "p". If I talked and said a "p" in here, it would overload and sound horrible, so this takes away, or this helps with those popping, with a popping "p". Anyway, so I'm miking vocals what I want to do is get this about right where my mouth is. There's different ways to do it, but this is one just basic way to do it. And I want to be about a foot away, anywhere from a foot to eight inches away. So, on the, on the softer parts I can come a little bit closer. But if I'm, and the louder I get, if I'm going to be belting out really loud, I want to get really far away from the mike or else I'm going to overload the circuits, or I'm going to overload my, my system. So, that's basic, those are some basics about recording vocals.
