Chapter 9 Microphone Techniques for Instruments and Vocals

DOI: 10.4324/9781315696331-9

This chapter describes several microphone techniques, ways to select and place mics for musical instruments and vocals. These techniques are popular, but they’re just suggested starting points. Feel free to experiment.

In this chapter are several references to EQ and effects, which are covered in detail in Chapters 10 and 11.

Before you mike an instrument, listen to it live in the studio so you know what sound you’re starting with. You might want to duplicate that sound through your monitor speakers.

This book’s companion website has several links to Web videos that demonstrate mic techniques and effects.
