DESCRIPTION:
Head of Audio Jason de Wilde talks us through choosing the right microphone for vocals in the studio at the Australian Institute of Music.
Choosing the best microphone for a vocalist is not just a case of grabbing the most expensive mic in your cabinet. Each microphone has certain aspects that either enhance or cancel out the unique characteristic sound of the vocalist you are recording. In this video, Jason de Wilde , the Head of Audio at the Australian Institute of Music does a “microphone shootout” using a large variety of microphones. There are 10 microphones in the selection, ranging in price from around $100 up to thousands of dollars. The results will surprise you. The vocalist in this video is AIM student Sammi O’Rourke from the band Levingstone.
