Personally I am terrible with my ‘s’ and plosive sounds, it’s something I try and work on but it’s an ongoing struggle. One of the most frustrating things about mixing vocals is the correction of poor mic technique in the form of big volume changes and poor pronunciation. If you’re like me then you are usually mixing your own performances, including the vocals. If you find your mic is a bit thin like my dynamic one was, try singing up close… but you better make sure you have a great mic technique. Personally, to get round the woollyness of my Samson, I angle the mic at 90 degrees and sing across the front which seems to help a lot. Whatever you have the budget for, there’s going to be pros and cons to the setup you choose. This was the complete opposite of the dynamic mic – it gave a lot of mid warmth to my clean voice but made the harsh vocals sound really woolly.Ī recording studio will have lots of mics to try depending on the vocalist – us home recording geeks are not so lucky. I was still on a budget though, so went for the Samson C05 condenser mic (around $100 back when I bought it). The sound was a bit thin, but this turned out to be ok for harsh vocals.Īfter a few years I had the money to upgrade, so I bought a stand and pop-filter, and after some more reading decided that a condenser mic was the way to go. I’d read that in those situations a dynamic mic was preferable, so I bought the best I could afford with my budget – it was an Audio-Technica similar to the AT2005 they sell now, around $80. I didn’t have a mic stand or a pop filter and planned on recording my vocals as if I was on stage holding the mic in my hand. When I first started building up my collection of home recording equipment I was clueless when it came to microphones.
