The other day I had a great singer in the studio with a very dynamic , loud vocal delivery. I tried some of my great mics but he would distort the capsule of the mic every so often. Ask him to back up on some of his parts and play the mic, no luck.
So the mic that ended up working for the session was the Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic. I used a tube mic pre and let him rip. The mic worked great for his style of singing. Binary Recording Studio
Its been a year and a half without large groups of musicians in the studio due to Covid. Looking forward to getting back to it again.
We have been using this mic the Neumann TLM 103 for voice over / narration work. This mic has also been requested by some of our big clients.
The reason is because of its low noise and flat eq. The mic does not add any color either.
Mastering is a high art! It takes a special set of ears to put the final touches to a song / album / film.
Aside from the over all sound you need to be very aware of the levels. We do a lot of mastering for film / PBS, Discovery Channel, etc... which has very specific needs.
One of the software tools we use is Steinbergs Wavelab. Recommended!
We are setup to do remote recording. Often a musician will need to record on their favorite piano or location. If you're doing a show that you would like recorded we can help you. Binary Recording Studio

A lot of recording people are doing these days is done on a laptop which is an amazing time in the development of the technology we are using. Over a short period of time we have gone from analog recording to digital. I have been in the biz long enough to see this change. I still like using a recording console!
