Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Hi! My name is Larry Hammel, singer, songwriter, engineer and producer of Deep Waves Studio
here in New York City and on behalf of Expert Village, I would like to welcome you to how
to produce a recording artist. Recording singers can take place anywhere but to really maximize
it you need a sonically isolated enclosure. We have our vocal drum booth and we use this
basically; its tuned that we get a very very neutral sound out of it except the vocalist
can reside. This is the singer's world and you want to create this world for the singer
so you make them as comfortable as possible. A few various things that you wanted to do
is provide them with some water or some room temperature liquid, a music stand, the cue
system right here is a box which they will use to set up their own mix, a set of close-back
headphones is extremely important so that there is no leakage into the microphones and
that they can hear themselves. You want to set that up so that it is very important that
they hear what is going on and that they are not fighting the mix. Microphone setup is
key as well. The way you adjust them and set them up height wise and things like that all
attribute to how the singer will perform in the isolation booth.
