How to Record a Singer-Songwriter: Part 1

[@TomCollinsBanjo]

Can we just take a second and appreciate the incredible timing of this one-take video. To all involved, my hats off to you. Wow.

[@ruchirsajwan]

Agree

[@jakeloban]

This is 5th one I've watched. Leave it to Neumann to blow everyone out of the water.. again.

[@markbernhardt6281]

@Davian Arian I know, nobody cares.

[@paulabraham7968]

indeed

[@travboat]

Yeah the forethought that went into this is top notch - I love the overdubs describing the technical aspects, and then it goes back to him speaking in the room. Brilliant.

[@jakethacker3724]

You just set the bar so high for every single educational video I will ever see from here on.

[@jakethacker6057]

Bro I didn't remember commenting this then I realized it wasn't me lol

[@darrenwatsonmusic]

Sounds great. This method depends on a really good sounding room though. I record in a not so great space at home so I close mic the guitar and the vocal with a ribbon and condensor respectively using figure 8 pattern nulls. Works a treat.

[@BenA718]

Excellent video! One mic, one performance, no phase issues and lots of emotion. Killer! Really good performer, too.

[@TheToneLounge]

These videos are just outstanding. The audio (of course) is great and the production of the videos is stellar. Filmed in one shot? Wow, I have a hard time not messing up when I make videos lol. Despite doing a lot of recording myself, I always learn something from this series. Amazing content. Cheers

[@GeorgNeumannGmbH]

Thank you for the warm words 😊. We're glad you like it!

[@MuscleEire]

My sentiments exactly, beautiful presentation guys thank you

[@GoodxJ]

TLM 103 is my mic of choice I use it on all my songs! perfect!!! 👍

[@jepphenry]

Came here for the tutorial and stuck with the amazing singer performance! And yes, all the one-shot video is just too perfect 👍🏻

[@ianschofield7749]

Your timing is again amazing, I’m in this very situation at college. Thanks

[@MuscleEire]

Amazing video 👌

[@Gusseq81]

Awesome and smooth transitions between artist performance and explanations. Very well approached

[@edelcorrallira]

Just ideal. Been working on a song, realized I get a very poor performance when recording both instruments separately... But this way, I can actually change from tracking to performing which is much more organic Thank you!!!

[@juicylucy5797]

The only video on KZbin on this subject that explains the importance of turning the mic upside down to get the correct balance between voice and guitar.

[@alexanderpiano1506]

I almost didn't watch this through because I thought I was going to need to buy a crash test dummy head stereo microphone, but I'm glad at 3:45 things got to a place where I could try it with equipment I had :) edit: this is a fantastically produced video and I can't wait to explore more of your content! Getting source right is SO crucial I have learned. Can't mix well without tracking well.

[@zephembers]

Ummmmm this is a PHENOMENAL video. The timing, the edit, the shot composition, and the information. Bravo.

[@erinbaysinger3627]

This is by far the best educational video I've seen in a very long time 👏

[@udeeksh]

The best part. This is one take and the guy teaching is most probably not monitoring still he knows it has been nailed. sheer experience

[@huyked]

I love Joachim's voice and his guitar playing.

[@anne_leblanc]

This video is the best i’ve ever seen in my life and it perfectly answers the questions I had, from the bottom of my heart: thank you! 🥰

[@steveh6632]

All your videos are simply outstanding. Thank you very much. Respect!! Joachim, you rock mate. If you had a Spotify channel I'd follow you, but can't find anything except your KZbin.

[@jimivoid2801]

Such a beautiful presentation.

[@400_billion_suns]

This video series is so well-done and incredibly helpful. Thank you very much Neumann!

[@jamesblackshear273]

I like doing this exact same thing with a sm57 microphone. Thanks for the great lesson! I just need to remember 2 feet, ear level. This helped me.

[@rossmcculloch187]

Absolutely brilliant video! Amazing singer and guitarist.. blown away!

[@aleena.janjua]

Amazing set of instructions! A BIG THANK YOU to the whole team that comes up with these great ideas! ❤️

[@moqtev]

Excellent video and a pleasure to listen to Joachim - thanks :-)

[@panszaman]

Sounds great, I will definitely try to record myself today with this approach :)

[@gustavklint3157]

This series is absolutely genius. Host is brilliant, audio flawless, atmosphere. I've rarely watched a video making me so warm inside. Just outstanding work. Thanks guys (herzlichen dank)!

[@DMNDBEATZ]

Amazing video, is the song available any were ? Don’t try to understand me I see the questions in your eyes I love it !

[@GoodxJ]

how would you mix this take with vocal and guitar on one track ?

[@thaexception3406]

Always informative videos and unique production with it!

[@ΜιχαληςΧατζηνικολαου-κ6φ]

Is this song anywhere on the internet? I can't find it! What a great performer and what an excellent presentation

[@alex0508bass]

Outstanding video! Thank you!

[@randyconcepcion3897]

Wow! I sure have learned some things which I can use for my you tube performances. Thanks!

[@文瑾-g3x]

thank you for teaching how to record sound in the right way! It helps me a lot! May I ask where can I listen to the music? I like that very much!

[@nyfaniloandrianjafy8171]

Can we applaud Joachim Rust, he is a wonderful guitarist and singer!

[@christopherwood1668]

I never subscribe after just 1 video… but this was an incredible tutorial, possibly the best one I’ve ever seen on KZbin! It was soooo good! I’m going to enjoy looking through all your work in the next weeks 😇 subscribed!

[@michaeljavelet9537]

So are we hearing a mono feed or did you move the signal to stereo? Sounds wonderful BTW.....

[@vonotebook]

Always perfect videos and tutos … bravo ! :)

[@paulabraham7968]

Thank you. changed my music career

[@powerfulriches]

Great Voice, Great Video

[@1123aandl]

Beautiful song.

[@Esperia-ef9xh]

Beautiful

[@betweendreamssessions]

This is an amazingly helpful video. Really appreciate the attention to detail in production too. We making living room sessions and love the one mic vibe

[@VipinMishraProject]

Your videos and the sound on them is just awesome. It makes learning fun.. I’m gonna try this today for a KZbin video. I have a U 87 so I’ll use that. Thanks again. ✌🏼🙂

[@vb_gh]

Very good series. Thank you.

[@billbarker4907]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@ToborDixon]

Another great presentation! Can not wait to listen to all of them.

[@MarioHGonzalez]

This video was so helpful! thanks! also the song was beautiful! great artist. What a way to play the guitar! How can I learn to do that?

[@NoCoverCharge]

Ordered a Tlm103 the other day and wait to get it as soon as it’s back in stock

[@PhilipBowenMusic]

This is so helpful! I have a Rode NT1-A at home, and I just love this

[@tysonshirey1]

Wow this video was so well done! Thanks guys that one put a smile on my face

[@GeorgNeumannGmbH]

Thanks Tyson! Glad you liked it! 😊

[@ericrogers6099]

Loved this video - absolutely brilliant information and it blows my mind this was all done in one take. By the way, anyone know the song Joachim is playing?

[@idahocharley]

Just this one video changed my life! I ran it through Garageband > Legacy > Logic > Spaces > Male Vocal Hall. All that means is, Garageband with Legacy/Logic sounds. Don't ask me how I got it that way. I do not remember. But "Spaces" is the quick way to get different room or venue sounds. Like 'Church' or 'Live Venue', etc. . .

[@GeorgNeumannGmbH]

We are glad we could be of help 🙂

[@chadracine]

Loving these videos and great song and performance as well.

[@iknikblackstone9082]

killer sound, killer riff, killer song !

[@gezor20]

actually what is the microphone you are wearing on your shirt? It gives awesome quality sound :)

[@jamespaulmitchell]

thanks for making these - they're great, hope you will continue the series!

[@jebmcgovern3744]

it's great that you do these. Much love

[@MrRumorg]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@228ANDY]

Very helpful. I will try this myself. BTW the song he is singing is nice. Could you tell me the name of this song? Thanks.

[@Jonaskrauser]

The sound ist quit good but this not (only) from the Mic so can you please tell us what’s the chain used there, preamps, audio interface? btw great studio👍

[@GeorgNeumannGmbH]

Hi there! We have used a "state of the art" preamp with a very neutral sound from a very reputable manufacturer. And to make it comparable, we used the same one for all the mics of course. We did not use any EQ or compression.

[@jeffparkllan8732]

Love this video.

[@aaronshortmusic]

Excellent series. Thanks!

[@OctavianGray]

Amazing video

[@diannachang]

Nice video. Love it

[@damanOts]

This was a really involved ad for a microphone

[@Teddyrobinson]

Great vid!

[@chasehorizon4660]

Great vid! I would love to know more detail about the full gain staging, signal path and any processing 😁

[@bhargavdobhal5327]

Thank You 🙌🙌Very Helpful Video 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

[@philwave8717]

Fantastic! The kind of video you don’t only watch because of the informations you get but more the nice and smooth way of the moderator and musician. Is that beautiful tune an original by Joachim Rust?

[@ma.ginger0303]

Love that! Amazing video, great audio! What's the name of that song, I love it!

[@WillyJamesGang]

Where can I get a copy of the song he is performing?! I love it!

[@GeorgNeumannGmbH]

Hi Willy, Achim hasn't published his songs yet. We will push him to do so 😉 !

[@gogogamerzz]

@@GeorgNeumannGmbH I'm honestly so sad about that:( He really has ALOT of talent, i'm obsessed wiith this song! Amazing job everyone.

Nice tips and tutorial.

[@ninsan4597]

I want to know the model/ product of mic-stand and shock absorbing accessory that you are using at 5:45 of this video

[@kellyvaughnofficial]

Thanks for sharing! 🎸

[@HannaPK]

I'd love it if you could do one video like this with a grand piano. I sing while playing the piano, and I am still experimenting.

[@GeorgNeumannGmbH]

Thank you for the feedback! Please stay tuned. More tutorials will follow soon. In the mean time, feel free to visit our new website www.neumann.com/homestudio/en/

[@hrishikeshsonar9008]

This is the first video that I have ever seen. with the least dislikes and decent number of views! Great content! :)

[@ToanLePD]

Really helpful video. Thank you for making it

[@DonAntonioCasanova]

This is great 😀

[@ShriiDev]

Nice video !!

[@dariyal]

This is so great! Is it possible to use this microphone outside and record an outdoors session, say in a park? Or will it pick up too much ambient noise and needs to be in a quiet studio?

[@GeorgNeumannGmbH]

Hi there! You can record with it in a park. Of course, there will be background noise, especially since you are not very close to the sound sources with the one TLM 103. If you want to have less crosstalk, you can use the setup from video #2 (two KMS 105's). With these you are much closer to the sound sources and therefore the crosstalk is proportionally much lower.

[@alvis501]

Which interface was used for this recording? Any plugins please ?
