It’s #microphonemonday here at Big Bad! Today’s feature is our well-worn, well-loved, and incredible sounding @neumann.berlin U67! It’s constantly in use here on vocals, guitar, drums, basically anything you can think of! (at Big Bad Sound LA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDuMgtoD60V/?igshid=1aopz3dcnbz5y

Studio essentials... make sure the lighting sets a vibe, then have a couple killer vocals mics to quickly compare. For a song I was recently working on, a fet microphone was used during the verses and a tube mic for the chorus to raise the excitement factor. What do you think?! Likely overkill for 90% of productions... but why not! 🧐 And yes, I like to use 2 pop filters to help get rid of those pesky plosives. I use a conservative high pass filter and compress gently on the way in 🔥👌🏼#smooth #micmonday #microphonemonday (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDt_EXcBC5B/?igshid=1ajj1ruvsszk1

Happy #microphonemonday everyone! Sorry for the absence, but as we adjust to the new norm and get back to work, I’m going work on being more active on here again. We have a lot going on at the studio including remodeling the Studio 1 booth! In the mean time, heres a pretty picture of a pretty mic that I like on kick drums and bass amps. What do you like it on?

It’s Monday... which is always a good time for some Microphone History! 🧐 • This #MicMonday brought to you by a reproduction of the classic m49 tube mic by @neumann.berlin, originally made 1952. This mic was groundbreaking in that it was the first model microphone to provide a selectable polar pattern on the mics power supply - this is helpful as it can be controlled remotely and is completely variable between Omni, cardioid and Bidirectional patterns 👏🏼 • This m49 was made by my friend @cuebus. We used it during our youth orchestra recording a few weeks ago. The detail this mic captured was amazing! You can see the reproduction @telefunken_mics AC701 tube glow through the mic’s grill in the second photo. There are a couple different capsules that Neumann used in these mics (M7 and K49) - I believe Robin used a M7 capsule (correct me if I’m wrong). Anyways, it was a real treat to hear this beauty. Great job on the build Robin! • Thanks to RecordingHacks.com for the history lesson 🙏🏼#MicrophoneMonday (at Carlmont Performing Arts Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5BDSN7hfJ-/?igshid=1ca4nlaysx90u
