Run Me Through

Broken Glass

I Feel Fine

Gone

Just a little experiment while playing around with mic and recording techniques for background vocals. Each harmony is sung three times: once directly on axis (cardioid), once to the left of the mic, once to the right. 

Acoustic recorded by two AKG C451s, one at the neck joint and one pointed under the bridge, into a pair of Vintech 573s (Neve 1073 clone). Lead vox through a modded Rode NT1-A into the 573, bgvs through a Beta 58 into the UA 710. 

Roll Um Easy

This is a quick test of my Royer 121 ribbon microphone. Details below:

Mic: Royer 121
Preamp: Vintech 573
Guitar: 1960's era Gibson B-25 acoustic
DAW: Pro Tools 10.3.5

All you are hearing is the Royer flipped around backwards (recording from the back of the mic) pointed between the 12th and 15th frets of the guitar at a distance of about 3 feet. No effects or outboard processing other than the preamp were used.

Preamps: API 512c (x2): -20dB pad engaged, phase flipped on Royer.
