Vocals
For recording vocals, you will need one condenser mic, a
prop shield and a good set of headphones.
The condenser mic used, should be a large diaphragm
condenser (such as the SE Electronics SE1000). The mic will be set up to accommodate
for the vocalists height, by lengthening
or shortening the mic stand so that the mic sits level with the vocalists
mouth.
The prop shield is added for the reduction of pops on plosive sounding consonants like ‘P’ and ‘B’ and should be positioned about 3 inches from the mic and the singer 6 inches away. However with use of a cardioid-pattern mic the singer can be closer. This will allow you to take advantage of it proximity effect if you want a more low-end weight to the sound.
