Recording the vocals and bass

For both the bass and vocals, I used the neumann TLM103 in its Shockmount.

For the bass, I placed the microphone a few inches away from the amp speaker, slightly away from the centre of the speaker to create a warmer sound.



For the vocals, the microphone was placed in the vocal recording booth, slightly to the side of the room (to avoid ambience and unwanted room reflections etc). The vocalist positioned herself a few inches away from the pop shield. I used the Neumann TLM103 to create an open, clear and defined recording quality of the vocals, and I kept the Shockmount for the microphone to reduce the levels of unwanted noise.
