“I always champion a strong and comfortable performance over sonic perfection, but I remember giving a sigh of relief when I heard Rick got his hands on a Telefunken U47 to track his vocals with. It just means that there would be less work I have to do to make the vocals sound like a ‘record’ and more time getting to add some creative sauces. Without hating on other mic companies, I can just tell you that every voice or instrument pairs uniquely for better or worse with different microphones. I have had great experience with the U47.”
So, we used the U47 and it sounded great as soon as she put on the headphones and started singing into it. In a sense, this mic makes people sing better. And when it comes time for editing and doing rough mixes and whatnot, it just sits there really easily; you don’t have to do too much to it.
