This week we got started recording the vocals. we used all the same foldbacks and guide track as we had the previous week.
In order to get the best sound for vocals we recording in the dead room using a AKG 414 condensor Mic. we used this mic because if gives a good sound for both male and female vocals.
We made sure to use pop sheilds in order to erase as many of the plosives we possibly can. we also used the proximiy effect to try and get the best sound and even more so reduced plosives. by oving vocalists off axis we managed to get the sound of their voices clearer and with less popping sounds. if we had more time this week then we would have experimented more with the positioning of the vocalists and the mics.
We had a small problem with the board at one point where it would not solo a track with leaked noise however we later realised this was because solo in front was selected on the board.
