How to Record a Singer-Songwriter: Part 2 

Dude you can legit feel his passion for mics and audio bleeding through the screen and it is hard not to smile ! Great Job Neumann

I was supposed to just learn about singing and recording with an acoustic guitar. Ended up discovering a new great artist to listen to!

It’s nothing short of amazing how you guys managed to break down polar patterns and bleed problems, giving just enough information through demonstration why those technical aspects can work against you and how to apply some pretty simple techniques to make pickup patterns work you. Let’s have a round of applause for Neumann! =)

This is better than anything on Netflix.

I came across this video from a Reddit post. Wow! This is one of the finest instructional videos I have ever seen! The amount of work you put into it is obvious. The timing and choreography, the look, the in-built demonstrations, the clarity of content... wow. Just wow. And, at the risk of repeating myself, one last word: Wow.

This production is top-notch! Thank you so much!

these videos are always awesome, thank you for sharing and putting so much love and care into them

This is like a revelation! I love it!

Thanks again for this video, this is a scenario that i'm doing a lot of at the moment in college. So grateful, you have armed me with new info for my next session.

Beautifully done, congrats!!

Excellent; succinct, clearly described & well-demonstrated.

My favorite of these videos! Excellent!

Great video and production!!! Golden tips in a very explanatory way. And Joachim is phenomenal!

Very very nice job from both you guys. Beautiful voice and guitar playing and without a doubt a masterful video on how to! Thank you very much!!!!

Never know the Cardiod and Supercardiod difference ...now i know and it's sounds so easy to understantd in situation and great singer/player......MANY THANKS AND please don't stop.... VIEL DANKE

Thanks guys and stay healthy!

This songwriter’s favorite theme… “he don’t know” :)

Great dignity and topnotch professionalism! Extremely helpful!

great stuff. looking forward to more of these technique vids!

Learning so much!

That sounded really good. Credit to the quality of Neuman microphones.....!! Good demo.. love the clarity I heard, albeit we have no idea what additional processing has been added....after recording,,,,,!! Excellent demo on polar pickup patterns...superb.....and very effective demo.....

Great! I do like that song!

Great job! Thanks.

God I love these videos -learnt so much

Love the little dance he does 😂

Well made videos. Entertaining and informative.

This video is pure ASMR

What a great video!

Thank You 🙌🙌Very Helpful Video 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

Genial!, que agrado ver estos videos, confirman muchos m,etodos, y dan ganas de "Neumannizarse" jajaja. Un abrazo a todos! :D

that's what I have been taught a super cardioid mic is the best one to use when recording both guitar and vocals but I am still yet to record anyone in my home studio

He’s voice remind me Ed Sheeran

Real knowledge sharing - may Allah bless you and your team! I am not even a singer but I was looking to buy some Neumann setup once I move to my new apartment :)

The singer is soooooooooooooooo very good!!!!

Oh yeah. I need more of this. I'm a one-man band. This is how I roll. Let me ask...why aren't we using the guitar pickup? Is using a mic far superior? Discuss...

Now I Know!

Great production quality video and audio here. How about combining the 103 and 105 used in episode one and episode two? 103 on the guitar pointed downward between bridge and players right hand while the 105 on the voice in the same position as in episode two?

Wow, what an amazing video! Not sure if I can use all those tips since I use a harp instead of a guitar so I have the strings really close to my face when I'm singing... gotta find a way around it. But the video was incredibly fun to watch and I loved the artist's style and voice. I'm so impressed! Thank you :)

also great

So I only have one condensor mic so going to do the 1 room mic technique you showed in the last video but also thinking about plugging my acoustic directly into my Interface & using my condenser just for vocals for a live recording. I don't see many people do this, is it a bad way to record? I'm guessing it's because it doesn't sound very natural?

Great information Georg... I am assuming both mics in this example are 105's?

I only have android app for my tablet and my phone so that I can sing with the piano and write a music notebook from Ez Voice because I love singing.

Nice

Good

The good sound makes a huge difference, my recordings always annoy me :-). I have a lot to learn

Does anyone know where to find his music, dying to listen to the songs he did in this series! He should be more widely known!

after the last mic adjustments, I was hearing some slapback delay on the vocals, probably due to the reverb of the second mic. was this intentional or is this a consequence of the sources not being separated enough?

Nice I like to listen I’m interested to learn how !now I’m singing in Smule !but I like to learn more Technik !how I process my voice !im nati Heuer from Europe I hope I get more Technik experience from u thanks have bless weekened

great tutorial...but a pity you added that extra reverb on the last example of the microphones placing. with that additional artificial reverb, is hard to compare exactly to the original setting (traditional setting) around 3:30. that original setting, despite having the voice bleeding more into the guitar microphone, sounds more natural and organic.

Great mic for this job! 600 Euros is quite a price...

I wonder if the last scenario would work for going live?

Terrible comb filtering with the original mic placement. The final mic positioning fixed it.

Model of Guitar?

and of course a good room helps!

new here - why not use electro acoustic via cable to record

foot stool, foot stool, foot stool, foot stool, foot stool, rock

does any one else think that the tonal difference is maybe just not worth it to isolate each source so much? I feel like it makes no sense being so radical with the mic placement to separate the sounds when in the end they are supposed to be heard together. For instance by recording the vocals closer and at such an angle closer to his chest you end up getting a stronger bass response which you maybe have to eq out in post- the irony is that the whole function of moving the mic in the first place is to make it easier to process the sounds- including shaping the tone of each sound to be ideal - which very well could include removing this boost in the bass. Im not saying it's not worth it- but it's almost not worth it. I think an important idea that goes with this is that the quality of a recording is founded primarily in the results you get initially in the tracking phase i.e. you can only polish a turd so much.

How about a mixer too😅

bro you guys cannot call this mike the kms

Again it's all about equipment.

I am glad young George Lucas quit directing the Star Wars franchise and took up working for Neumann. 😂

That's alot of yang for sitting on the couch

Anyone from India .........🙄🙄🙄....

No kidding but equipment is expensive

Je hebt echt een Nederlands accent! Lachen. Hij zingt een beetje vals hoor.

That's funny those two microphones will cost you 1500 for both.

Why did you have to steal poor old grandma's furniture....?

Right on 🎹🎸🪗🎶🎚🎼🎵🎧🎤
