The calm before the storm…
Mics out on stands ready for the drummers arrival - this is proper preparation. I’ve gone through the mic locker, picked the mics I want to use on each piece of the drum set, put them on an appropriate stand, connected them to the control room and patched them through the analog gear I was planning to use. Ready at a moments notice to switch out a mic that wasn’t doing the do - all the potential options were out in the sound room! . .

Little living room setup from Sunday tracking , edits and a wee mix today! . .
Microphones used are V67 & BB29 on vocal and acoustic guitar, respectively. Plus my go-to technique of close micing with a SM57 and my very favourite SDC, the OG, the sadly discontinued LCT140 (yeah I know about the 140AIR but it doesn’t sound the same to me) - and as always my trusty 500R8 from holding it down on conversion, headphone and monitoring duties. Plus it holds my preamps! . .

Absolutely loving this microphone on acoustic guitar lately - BB29 from . .
this guy has a single membrane capsule, which really reduces the proximity effect, though it does make it more susceptible to plosives and other such unwanted artifacts. However, it means you can get right up on a sound source while retaining the old frequency balance. It’s also a very bright mic, against other offerings, but it’s never harsh or brittle . .

New house who dis?

Tracking some vocals tonight, pulling a double shift with the V67 and the BB29, both going into the RPQ preamps. Latency-free monitoring and conversion duties by 500R8 . .
Let’s talk phase! Yes, this is two mics on one vocalist, so to make sure we got the best possible phase coherence (in case we wanted to use a blend of the two in the mix rather than one or other) there’s a couple of things going on.

I spent a long time making sure the capsules of each mic were aligned on the Y&Z axis and as close as possible on the X axis(📸 from after session, stands may have been bumped)

Then I aimed the middle of the pop shield directly at the tiny gap between mics, so the singer would be pretty much equidistant from each capsule.

Finally, both mics went to a pair of preamps, controls set identically. Very different mics, tonally, so important to keep the variables to a minimum! Plus those AEA pres are dope . .
Want to hear how these mics sound on your voice without leaving the house? Now you can, with our mobile recording service! . .
