Recording Vocals Masterclass: Marcel van Limbeek reveals his favourite mics for recording vocals.

[@Weechoo]

I usually don't comment on videos but this one is amazing. I've seen numerous videos on youtube but this one explains the whole microphone thing in a detail what is exceptional. I've learnt a lot now and I understand my mics much better. Thank you for the video!

[@NickWarnerMedia]

im a full-time engineer and i still learned some things from this. wow thanks!

[@gertvogelaar]

Ik wil je graag een compliment maken voor de uiterst duidelijke en correcte uitleg in deze video. Ik heb vroeger voor PolyGram microfoon tests en metingen gedaan voor mijn recording collega’s bij DGG en Decca. Vandaar dat ik blij was eindelijk een waarheidsgetrouwe presentatie op KZbin te zien. Chapeau! I would like to compliment you with this clear explanation of various types of microphones in this video. I have done many microphone measurements when I worked at PolyGram. I did this this for my collegues at DG, Philips and DECCA at the time. Therefore I am glad to see this truthful presentation on KZbin.

[@gregbartlett5818]

The best lesson on microphones, their differences and application ever!!

[@mattbrown2645]

So incredibly articulate at explaining these very complex concepts in understandable language. Thank you!

[@kevinkitchen9893]

I could only afford a SM58, but I kept watching for the passion, and loved it!

[@Trupen]

[@NICUofficial]

this was fascinating from start to finish, one of the most interesting talks on any topic that I've heard in a while! His passion for microphones really comes through, this is a guy who loves mics and I like them more as a result of hearing him talk about them :)

[@briandavidofficial]

Dang. You can tell in ten seconds this guy is passionate about his craft. Thanks for sharing!

[@bakastep3107]

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

WOW... this is a great video!

[@darryndelasoul3167]

Thanks! There's a lot more from Marcel at www.soulsound.co.uk. He's an amazing teacher.

[@Duskybuka]

Wow after watching a lot of videos about microphones this is the first one I have come across that explains how the different types of mics work and possible real life uses for them Thank you so much for putting this video up. I am now more enlightened :)

[@Soulsoundschool]

You're more than welcome! Much more from Marcel over at www.soulsound.co.uk. He is really worth listening to.

[@shandani7215]

I saw this video and before I could like it, KZbin played another video. Normally, I would just let it go but this video deserves a 'like' and a subscribe, so I actually searched it again just to 'like' it. Yes, sir, you are that good. Thank you. Hope you are making more of this type of videos.

[@johnagbozo4639]

Fantastic experience watching this. Good job! Please post some more videos.

[@jramnorway7985]

Very good video and info is spot on and also not boring. Very nice

[@nicholasschaufuss2999]

What mic should I buy? I am a classical singer (tenor) and needs the mic to be a few meters away

[@Elliegaytor]

you're a genius, this really helps me understand more about microphones

[@allanwilson8878]

He should have worked at SAE when I was there. I never noticed any as knowledgeable as this man regarding microphones...

[@Hb093]

very interesting, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!

[@Soulsoundschool]

You're more than welcome! There's lots more on our Soulsound website if you fancy some more.

[@ThePdeHav]

Your Sony C37 elicits profound Gear Envy. Love the mic. Does something v special to vocals. Like the U 87 it sounds great on 9 out 10 singers

[@BCFoolin]

More engineers need to see this...

[@ThePhiCode]

This is great, so many things to learn

[@GagassagaG]

Thank you very much Sir! 🥃 God bless you.

[@billdalton2550]

Good stuff 😊

[@RosssRoyce]

I find many condenser mics sounding dark in comparison with Beta 58a without any boost or EQ.

[@CesarLeon]

What about ribbon mics?

[@TNT-km2eg]

So why do I have to turn on the volume almost to distortion to hear your voice ? Exactly on this video !?

[@jessicaauer414]

Great Video

[@PharaohLawLess1]

Thanks for making this video, bro

[@PharaohLawLess1]

Keep it sexy

[@gutenbird]

[@TENOR954]

[@uelude]

Peter Piper picked a pickup pattern

[@tommccarron324]

Lol... that's exactly what I started saying

[@alexberdea]

Awesome video, awesome work Thank you for the knowledge!

[@EdwardsOperation]

Excellent explanation!

[@kylefryar8835]

Brilliant. Thank you for posting

[@ViswaSVoiceOfficial]

Dear Marcel, Great explanation, hats off. What about SM57, even though it is predominantly an instrument microphone, whats your take on vocals !

[@Jjf109nine]

Its one of the best for vocals. Better than the SM58. Prefer it over my U87

[@ricklesshorse8159]

Very good informations !!

[@jeffhirata]

Great info. Thanks!!!

[@RaduJon]

Wonderful explanations 👌👏👏👏

[@ndavies8]

Dropped some gems here!

[@kingarthur2430]

Perfect Video this guy is great

[@PPDavida]

Your explanations are just fantastic ! Many many thanks !

[@mattstory2011]

Glad I found this video, fantastic explanations thank you!

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

Question? Do you think having a Grace 101 mic pre overkill if I get the Apollo Twin With Avalon Plug-ins, 610 B plugins etc?

[@suavehyena685]

So we'll versed versed. I just subscribed. 🤞🏿U just saved project I'm working on.

[@luisgustavo4721]

Nice videos, I got a quick question I'd appreciate you answered. I currently got a soundproofed booth, similar to yours. I got a Zoom S2T and a Rode NT1A I mostly do voiceovers and want to offer vocal recording to music artists. Debating between these 4 mics, I want a significant overall better quality with the least noise floor and all without breaking the bank. Mics: Shure SM7B, EV E320, EV E20, CAD 100S, NEUMAN 102 I know I need to get a fethead if I get a dynamic and I dont mind if they offer great quality and best bang for your buck I was just suggested to get the Tascam UH-7000, seems very good. I could get the EV E320, FETHEAD and this Tascam UH-7000 .... or any of the other mics mentioned or I could get a Neuman 102 and a cheap Interface like the Focusrite 2i2 or maybe even just use my Zoom s2t or Zoom h5 What would you do? Even though I "can" get the Neuman 102, it'd be through a loan so will only do it if its far better than all the other ones and if mentioning it to my clients will help in charging more than if I had a mic they probably own themselves I can get the Neuman in Europe for about 180$ cheaper I really like the CAD 100S and Tascam 7000 combo.... Looking forward to your reply! Thanks!

[@snakehips81]

Wow ! That was a GREAT video ! Very informative for a newbie at recording. The ability to explain something complex in "lay person's" terminology is not easy, but Marcel did so, effortlessly ! Many thanks for that very useful lesson !

[@jds189]

Was hoping for some comparisons

[@Soulsoundschool]

O'hboy IamJamaal This is all available e in Part 2 here www.soulsound.co.uk/recording-vocals-masterclass-part-two

[@Luka1180]

Not gonna pay for that when I don't even know what to expect. Could at least have had a small sample of one of the microphones in this video to get people hooked and interested in paying for the premium content on the site so that they can hear all the mics, and do even moe.

[@greenfieldrecords9794]

I learned a lot here. Thank you.

[@raphaellasne3609]

Top notch.

[@ianbriton7956]

very interesting.Thanks a lot!!!

[@pepperwilliams4428]

Ik moet deze informatie nodig. Erg goed!

[@pamelakristen]

Awesome video much appreciated! 👌

[@WilSantanaMusic]

Master vídeo! Great content. Thanks

[@tecnica-de-voz]

Now, someone that knows.

[@RadiAsian]

excellent explanations. thank you

[@sanjatisma2962]

How about Rode Nt1 A? For dream-pop singing style

[@FakingANerve]

I feel like there might be some confused terminology, maybe a language barrier, around his varied use of the term "high-end." Rock vocals having a lot of high-end (high... sound energy? maybe?)

[@makingupthemagic]

this is wonderful!!!! I learned sooooo much!

[@Soulsoundschool]

Thanks for the lovely words! You can find the rest of the masterclass on www.soulsound.co.uk.
