In this tutorial we learn how to record vocals and get the proper mic position! Because that matters a lot! Setting up for microphone for the proper tone you want to achieve is super important, and not too hard. Vocal recording can seem like a straight forward process, but the more you know, the better you are....obviously. As is usual, we'll be using our trusty Rode NT1 :)
