| Multiple Mics Throughout Song and...... EVOLUTION
Does anyone here record vocals, or anything else for that matter, with multiple mics and change mic levels or use different mics for the different parts?
Lately, for the project I'm doing, I've been recording each take with three or four mics and recording to separate tracks and then using 1 or more of the mics for the verse and then switch to either a different mic(s) and/or adding a new into the mix. I'm been trying to make the song evolve in someway or another. Most of the time I don't use all of the mics, but being as these songs have a lot of space and are kinda psychedelic, they lend themselves to experimenting.
Are there any similar techniques that any of you use with vocals or anything else? I usually multi mic bass amps as well as running a di, but I usually use only one mic, maybe with or without the di and once I get a good sound, I tend not to change it, although I've sometimes enjoyed micing and distorting or compressing the **** out of a dynamic mic (such as a 57) and using during a rock breakdown.
I've also went back after the fact, since I have only 4 ins, and recorded specific samples for snare and sometimes kick that I use on very specific parts such as super spaced out snare drum sections or really distorted sections. This is the only way I use drum samples now, unless I'm programming beats.
Does anybody else have any techniques using multi mics or similar ideas. We're doing a lot of psychedelic tracks so any new ideas are welcomed. I know this was a long, rambling post so any of you that stuck it out, thanks.
