What vocal mic did you use today

[khayree]

neumann u87 w API 512c PRE amp, 525 Compressor, 550 B 4 band EQ AND a Drawmer dual gate DS 201 XLR in & outs, essential to record vocals without the dog, children, harddrives etc on your mic'd tracks

[OneMillionMangos]

See this post I just wrote on that topic: C414 looses to SC 300 mic for vocals today

:-)

[Svenarne]

AKG D5!

For a scratch track but it's still a nice little mic. I actually prefer it to the SM7b most of the time!

[Unclenny]

Peluso 22 251

[SveinKB]

C414 XLS > API 3124+
Worked perfectly on Harding Fiddle. (Norwegian fiddle)

[SoundHouse]

Miktek CV4. Fabulous mic.

[hasbeen]

Tried a KM86i for a change.

[jmikeperkins]

1970's Neumann U87 with Innertube Audio U87 tube conversion kit. Set variable pattern control on power supply to cardoid with a bit of omni. Telefunken V376 mic pre.

[SveinKB]

I just realized, you asked about vocal mics, and not mics in general. So, never mind my previous post

[andychamp]

Brauner Phanthera into Manley Voxbox. Pre, HPF@80Hz & comp (3-5 dB GR) only, no EQ.

[PaddyGordon]

Yesterday I used a Neumann KMS 105 > Focusrite ISA Pre

Ya, Kev. It's the sound of baked chocolate chip cooks. Warm and gooey. Responds well to post EQ.

[hobson]

Vintage U87 > Pacifica > 1176

You bet your ass for vocals. Nice breathy female singer with just a touch of bitey attitude. Going for a vintage vibe when it's all done. Bonus: She knows how to work the proximity effect.

Only an old short ribbon would've been better, maybe... Inspired by Pink Floyd @ Pompeii, honestly. Gilmore sings into an old 409 for most of that film.

I have an oversized mic locker, I experiment a lot... too much maybe. For example: I've gotten damn near perfect results from MK-012 for vox. Think outside the box a little

I need to come by and we can slut up a shootout!

[guavadude]

In the meantime I'm going to bake some real cookies. They'll make me feel better when I'm using my crappy mics.
