Week 4: Vocal Recording:

  • Due to absence from the session, I am unaware of the intricacies of the recording process on the vocals. However, I was later informed that the group used the AKG414 microphone to record the vocals within the dead room inputting the microphone to the wall via an XLR lead into channel 13 to then feed back to the control room desk and then input into the Pro Tools session. The dead room was used to avoid the issue of any natural reverberations in being recorded, as the pure sound of the vocals was needed rather than capturing the ‘feel’ of the environment that was being recorded in. A fold-back system was also established to make sure the artist had confidence in recording their individual section of the track.
