Recording vocals is an art in itself. A great lead vocal alone can make the difference between a ho hum demo and a really stand out major song.

Getting a good vocal performance is largely to do with creating an environment where the singer feels comfortable. This can involve deciding where they stand, which way they're facing, room temperature, lights - whatever it takes to get the singer in the mood.

We can record lead vocals, either on RADAR, our pro level Hard Disk Recorder, or into Pro Tools - the producer's choice for mixing and editing. We have a choice of microphones and pre-amps which allow us flexibility, both to get the best vocal sound and also to get the "right" mix in your headphones, enabling you to give a truly stunning singing performance.

Mics we will typically use for voice recordings include

• Neumann U87
• DPA 4006
• AKG 414
• Neumann KMS105
• Audix SCX 25
