- Recording Vocals Masterclass: Marcel van Limbeek reveals his favourite mics for recording vocals.
In Part One of this superb studio engineering masterclass, Marcel starts off with a really deep look at his five favourite mics - and what might influence his choice. He discusses the type of voice, why you want to keep the lead vocal reflection-free in the recording process, unnatural EQ effect from comb filtering, minimising ambient reverb and which way to position the microphone in the room.
Marcel’s personal favourites are: Shure SM58, Neumann U87, Sony C37A (Frank Sinatra’s favourite!), Neumann U67 and the Schoeps Colette with MK4 capsule.
This is an information-heavy masterclass. Enjoy!
Featuring the music and delightful voice of Sarah Moss.

I usually don't comment on videos but this one is amazing. I've seen numerous videos on youtube but this one explains the whole microphone thing in a detail what is exceptional. I've learnt a lot now and I understand my mics much better. Thank you for the video!
im a full-time engineer and i still learned some things from this. wow thanks!
The best lesson on microphones, their differences and application ever!!
Ik wil je graag een compliment maken voor de uiterst duidelijke en correcte uitleg in deze video. Ik heb vroeger voor PolyGram microfoon tests en metingen gedaan voor mijn recording collega’s bij DGG en Decca. Vandaar dat ik blij was eindelijk een waarheidsgetrouwe presentatie op TH-cam te zien. Chapeau!
I would like to compliment you with this clear explanation of various types of microphones in this video. I have done many microphone measurements when I worked at PolyGram. I did this this for my collegues at DG, Philips and DECCA at the time. Therefore I am glad to see this truthful presentation on TH-cam.
Excellent video, finally someone explained the difference in mics in a way you can actually comprehend. Thanks much.
Brilliant explanation, very useful information! Thanks Marcel!
Brilliant Marcel!... this is the best Mic's explanatory training ever made on youtube, thanks man for sharing this!
really deeply detailed....It looks also from how he moves and acts...Everything proves that this man has deep sound knowledge, so microphones as well
Such a very clever and articulate gentleman who really knows his subject. Many thanks.
So incredibly articulate at explaining these very complex concepts in understandable language. Thank you!

His passion for microphones really comes through, this is a guy who loves mics and I like them more as a result of hearing him talk about them :)

The ability to explain something complex in "lay person's" terminology is not easy, but Marcel did so, effortlessly ! Many thanks for that very useful lesson !
Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
Love the SM58
How about SM 7B?
@@Triumphinchrist1 Never tried it tbh
Thank you.
EXCELLENT TEACHINGS!!! No lie, you deserve an Oscar, I thought I was dumb but I guess all along it was my teachers!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣
It was probably both of you lol.
Thank you very informative
He should have worked at SAE when I was there. I never noticed any as knowledgeable as this man regarding microphones...
Dear Marcel,
Great explanation, hats off.
What about SM57, even though it is predominantly an instrument microphone, whats your take on vocals !
Its one of the best for vocals. Better than the SM58. Prefer it over my U87
Peter Piper picked a pickup pattern
Lol... that's exactly what I started saying
Now, someone that knows.
Your Sony C37 elicits profound Gear Envy. Love the mic. Does something v special to vocals. Like the U 87 it sounds great on 9 out 10 singers
Ik moet deze informatie nodig. Erg goed!
I cannot believe, I was here for looking good podcast mics. Instead what I got is important lectures I will remember for life. Great.
One word: educational
Nice videos, I got a quick question I'd appreciate you answered.
I currently got a soundproofed booth, similar to yours. I got a Zoom S2T
and a Rode NT1A
I mostly do voiceovers and want to offer vocal recording to music
artists.
Debating between these 4 mics, I want a significant overall better
quality with the least noise floor and all without breaking the bank.
Mics:
Shure SM7B, EV E320, EV E20, CAD 100S, NEUMAN 102
I know I need to get a fethead if I get a dynamic and I dont mind if
they offer great quality and best bang for your buck
I was just suggested to get the Tascam UH-7000, seems very good.
I could get the EV E320, FETHEAD and this Tascam UH-7000 .... or any of
the other mics mentioned
or I could get a Neuman 102 and a cheap Interface like the Focusrite 2i2
or maybe even just use my Zoom s2t or Zoom h5
What would you do? Even though I "can" get the Neuman 102, it'd be
through a loan so will only do it if its far better than all the other
ones and if mentioning it to my clients will help in charging more than
if I had a mic they probably own themselves
I can get the Neuman in Europe for about 180$ cheaper
I really like the CAD 100S and Tascam 7000 combo....
Looking forward to your reply! Thanks!
How did I find this video?!!! Enlightened 💡🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I like.
Boyd I hope your watching, so that when it's my turn are ears are tuned up as well as our method.
Question? Do you think having a Grace 101 mic pre overkill if I get the Apollo Twin With Avalon Plug-ins, 610 B plugins etc?
What mic should I buy? I am a classical singer (tenor) and needs the mic to be a few meters away
So we'll versed versed. I just subscribed. 🤞🏿U just saved project I'm working on.
