Hi amy, you will get there! think back to when you first started playing guitar: how hard you had to contort your hand to get it the shape of a chord. after awhile though, the chords become effortless. you play a B minor without thinking about it. your hand just does it. it’s a similar thing with technology. In the beginning you have to keep looking things up and it’s super slow. But eventually you can just do it or you’ve spent so much time looking things up, you can find the answers you need quick. It gets easier! Glad that the video was a help! All the best on your journey :)

You said that tilting your head up can help you project more as a singer, which isn't necessarily true. If you're singing high pitches and tilt your head up, you lose most control over your throat and can actually strain it, when artists do that live it's because the note it easy to hit, and if you condense the throat muscles, it's easier to produce. It's a common misconception, but nine times out of ten, you should practice hitting highs with your head at eye level, or pointed downward, which will give you a far wider array of possible pitches.

Hi Carl, thanks for your thorough opinion. I did say "a little bit" so perhaps my miming didn't match my words. In a studio, when producing a singer, the physiological condition is a small issue compared to the psychological condition of the singer. Just the act of physically smiling will alters a person's mood, there is a similar effect with posture. When say "project", I mean you're more likely to get better takes out of the singer.

@MusicSequencing3 жыл бұрын
This depends a lot on the room you are recording in and the percussion. If you are in a great sounding room and want a lot of detail, you might reach for a pair of small diaphragm condensers(SDC) amzn.to/2KF4VYB or large diaphragm condenser (LDC) Like this amzn.to/2L4H70g. Maybe with the LDC up close and a stereo pair of SDCs at a distance. Or a pair or one SDC up close would be great too. In a room that doesn't sound as good a dynamic mic like the Shure SM57 amzn.to/3aHfVPQ would be great.

I’m trying to understand the uses of the foam they put on mics also the mesh circles what’s they’re job and the difference between using them and not using them
@MusicSequencing4 жыл бұрын
Hello! Generally a foam or furry ball on top the mic is for filtering out wind and should be used when you are recording outside. The mesh circle is called a Pop filter, I think there’s one in the video, and it’s for blocking bursts of air from “p” sounds than can shake the mic capsule and cause low frequency problems. A pop filter will also prevent some moister from the breath from hitting the capsule and it’s generally good to use whenever recording vocals.
@jara74284 жыл бұрын
Music Sequencing oh thanks! U use each one separate, can u use pop filter and foam ball together or will it be usless?
@MusicSequencing4 жыл бұрын
Here’s the long answer: Usually we use pop filters with large diaphragm condenser mics. If you were recording a vocalist outside, like the beatles on the roof situation, you probably would be best off using a dynamic mic so you would not get too much of the noise around the vocal. Dynamic mics are usually a bit less susceptible to plosives problems (a lot of times they have protective grills that help a lot), and especially with an additional wind filter on there. Therefore you probably wouldn’t need both. The short answer: Do whatever works. There’s no rules, if you feel using both will get you the best result, go for it!

@MusicSequencing4 жыл бұрын
hey, practically speaking, it might be best to think of ribbons having a bit more detail than dynamic mics on average and a bit less than condenser mics on average. They are some of the oldest microphones and can be very fragile (so always be careful with using phantom power when working with ribbon mics, know what they need). They use a ribbon of material to convert sound waves on the air into analog signal (rather than a circular shape).

Sweet .. to bad I cant s ing .. ... .. I always wondered what makes a microphone and speaker give "feedback" when put near eachother ... "the actual physics behind it" .. can anyone explain?
@MusicSequencing4 жыл бұрын
I can tell ya Freddie :) Sound is waves that ride on air and the higher the frequency the higher the pitch (more ups and downs-like on a graph in case that’s not clear). With feedback a sound wave goes into the microphone, then out of the speaker, then “feeding back” back into the microphone, then “feeding back” out of the speaker, around and around, faster and faster, raising the frequency of the wave and thus the sound goes up higher in pitch giving the awful “feedback” sound. So if you want to avoid feedback, it helps to place your speakers in front of the microphone. Hope that helps!
