“It's only a thimbleful of a voice, and I have to use it close to the microphone. But it is a kind of oversmoked voice, and it automatically sounds intimate.” KindUseSoundVoiceIntimateMicrophones Author:Julie London
“There's a very old recording maxim that goes, 'Distance makes depth.' I've used that a hell of a lot-whether it's tracking guitars or the whole band. People are used to close-miking amps, but I'd have a mic out around the back, as well, and then balance the two. Also, you shouldn't have to use EQ in the studio if the instruments sound right. You should be able to get the right tones simply with the science of microphone placement.” PeopleIfsShouldWellsTwoWholeUseAbleUsedSoundHellBalanceBandInstrumentsDistanceDepthGuitarStudiosToneMaximsMicrophonesMicsTrackingPlacement Author:Jimmy Page
“I've watched and learnt from DJs and remixers and paid way more attention to how I want my voice to sound. Before, as long as it was loud and in tune it was fine. I've discovered the difference made by various microphones and effects, so each track has a different vocal sound, my voice is woven into everything and it's above everything.” WayWantLongMadeDifferentSoundVoiceDifferencesAttentionEffectsFinePaidTrackVariousLoudTunesVocalWovenDjsMicrophones Author:Ellie Goulding
