This week we recorded the vocals for the track. We first spoke about how to go about getting the best recording from being in a comfortable environment to how the singer needed to deliver. We would need to take a few things into account when recording vocals from the pitch of the vocalist, the room and the choice of microphone. We chose to do vocals in the dead room as there would be very little reverberation which would allow for a much clearer recording. We decided to chose between three microphones to see which one suited the vocalist best. 
The microphones we tested were:
Electro Voice – RE20 – With additional desk EQ to cut the low end – we chose this mic
SM57 – Very good for mic’ing up guitars
Akg – 414 – good vocal microphone as well as good for overheads.
We set them up with pop filters to help control the plosives and we were ready to adjust the angles to help with sibilance.
We began recording the vocals with the vocalist wearing headphones. We sent the track to her using fold back B on the desk so that we could set the levels on pro tools. We got one good recording all the way through the song which we were all fairly happy with. We planned to double track the vocals to keep in with the style of the original artist, but due to time constraints we did not get round to doing this.
