Microphone Technique, Equalizing, Compression, Effects and other Technical Shizzle
Thursday 7th November 2024, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
If you and / or the singers you work with are singing other genres than classical, chances are very big you’re using a microphone. Knowing how to work with it is crucial, if you want to make the most out of your vocal performance.
I dare to say that 50% of your sound is determined by the microphone you’re singing through, what you do with it, and everything that happens after, like equalizing, compression, reverb, delay, what the sound engineer is doing from behind the mixer,…
So…
- Do you want to learn how to use your microphone functionally?
- Are you looking to understand the essential technicalities?
- Do you need to know how to create a sound that suits your artistic identity?
- Do you want to effectively communicate what you need to the sound engineer(s)?
Then this webinar is for you! You don’t need any prior knowledge or skills. Everybody is welcome, especially if you have never ever uttered a sound through a microphone (yet). These topics will be demonstrated ànd you will be invited to test everything out with your own gear at home during the webinar:
Microphones & what to do with them:
- Dynamic & Condenser Microphones: Which one is right for your voice / genre?
- Pick up patterns
- Do’s & Don’ts
Equalizing, Compression & Effects:
- Equalizing: Create your own sound by working with the frequencies (LF, MF & HF)
- Compression: What does it do to your sound? Why do we need it?
- Reverb & Delay: What do they create? What are the possibilities?
- Do’s & Don’ts
