How is everyone doing?

[gwyneth_galvin]

Hey gang, been a while. How’s everyone doing?

Had a rough couple months until recently since I had to take off so much time from work to rest my voice. Been really careful though and seem to be back on top of things finally!

I’m thinking about buying Neumann condenser mic, been a long time since I upgraded my setup. Anybody else used one of them before?

Glad to hear you’re feeling better 🙂 Being ill sucks, especially when it impacts your ability to earn a living.

We use Shure SM7Bs, and can vouch for them 100%.

I’ve used a Neumann TLM 102 before and it’s fantastic - I know a few people who own them and they absolutely swear by them.

Do you use a pop filter with this? What’s your setup like? I’m thinking about converting my desk into my recording station but I’ve had it drilled into my head that I need a “booth” setup and I’m not sure I’m ready to break away from it yet!

Also, hope you guys are doing ok in your neck of the woods. Been a long time 🙂 X

Hey, Gwyneth - glad to hear your voice is back on track. Please don’t overwork it again … !

[humanissocial]

Oh dear. Is your voice ok now? I hope you’re well and feeling good!

[personalletters]

I use a TLM 102 with DBX 286S as my compressor.

You can hear how it sounds in my demos. But I love it.

The 102 was more affordable than the 103.

I won’t I promise!! I’m on the wait list to be seen by an ENT specialist as well, and have a vocal coach lined up for when quarantine ends. Hopefully will never have to deal with this again!!

Is your voice ok now? I hope you’re well and feeling good!

Yes! Not back to 100% but I’ve been SO careful and have started treating my voice like the priceless instrument it is… honestly, that was a huge scare. I know I need to be more careful.

The 102 was more affordable than the 103.

I’m looking into these now! Thank you!

We’re good thanks! I mean, every day feels like Groundhog Day at the moment and we’re sick of the inside of our flat, but I think that’s the same for everyone at the moment, so can’t really complain.

Do you use a pop filter with this?

Kind of… The SM7B comes with two pop filters, that are more ‘covers’ that go over the actual microphone element. We use the thick one for VO recording, and it does a pretty good job at keeping out all but the most harsh of sibilants.

We use something called an ‘Isovox’, which is the closest we could get to a booth in a small flat. It’s a box that goes on a heavy duty speaker stand that you kind of walk in to, and it covers your head only. It’s good because we can pack it away each time when we’re done with it, and it takes a matter of seconds to setup.

It was £800 and honestly, it’s the best investment we’ve ever made. We’re actually going to move out of London next year, and the house we’re looking to buy has space for us to install a proper vocal booth. But until then, this does the job.

I think this was the microphone that Michael Jackson recorded Thriller on.

It was also a staple for broadcasting in the US in the 80s.

My advice would be order a couple of see which one suits you best - I think it’ll be the Neumann.

I found the Shure ones were brilliant if coupled with a long chain of enhancements (compressor, limiter, expander, eq etc) and if you have a lot of high energy reads whereas the Neumann, certainly for me, is more of a ‘catch all’.

Hope now you are keeping well. And best wishes from my side. You will be on the top again.
