Vocals are the most critical part of tracking. Fortunately for us, Trevor Lissauer's incredible sense of pitch and unbeatable stamina allowed for some amazing kick ass vocal tracks. The session was a marathon of 20 hours in two days tracking the whole album including back up vocals.
For main microphone we got a 52 year old Neumann U47. Valued at $40,000 this mic is known for being Sir George Martin's favorite during the Beatle's sessions. The sound was incredible, it really doesn't compare to anything built nowadays. I also had the power supply for the mic running AC from my Topaz Ultra-Isolation Transformer and that alone made a huge difference. The second mic in the picture is a Cascade Ribbon which we used occasionally for an added tone.
Don't forget to check out Trevor's awesome vocals when the record comes out!
