multi-vocal micing techniques

[jimwilbourne]

So I'm looking to try something interesting for vocals.

I'm curious if anyone has tried and double or triple vocal micing techniques.
possibly some combination of mics & distances.

i would say... it's not how many mics you use on vocals. it's what microphone you use on vocals.

but that seems obvious.

try just one of these

That's only half a mic. Care to recommend the other half?

ah... yes.

use the nady cm90... it's only $40 and the electronics will be replaced.

well I'm pretty happy with my studio's u87. at least for clean vocals. I still want to get a 7b.
I'm more curious in the idea of branching out into more adventurous techniques. especially for screaming vocals.

I am rather curious about those mics though tim.
do you have any hands on experience with them?

sm7 has a great sound for aggressive vocals... you can also try the sm57 with the tab funkenwerk mod... it comes out sounding a little like the sm7 but a bit brighter (depending on the room).

my father bought a few of these mics (k47) a while ago... and i "stole" one from him.

i ended up never giving it back!

it's so crazy how they got this mic to sound so close to the 67.

fantastic buy imo.
