Recording Applications
Vocals and speech
iRig Mic HD is a great microphone for recording voice and speech — like interviews. As said, the proximity effect
allows you to model the sound of your recording. The closer you get to the mic, the more warmth and bass
you’ll get. For a “big” vocal sound with maximum presence, get the vocalist within one to three inches of the
capsule (microphone head). The internal buil-in windscreen helps avoid plosives at this close range. For a lighter
sound, place iRig Mic HD further from the vocalist.
The acoustic environment play a key role in the success of a good recording. A room with carpet and curtains
will cause much less reverberation in your vocals, making the recording sound more dry this allows your
recording to be more easily manipulated during the mixing process. By contrast, a room with glass surfaces,
marble, wood floors or tile will yield natural reverb, which may be pleasing to the ear but difficult to remove at a
later time, and make your recording more difficult to mix.
Use iRig Mic HD to record speech and interviews on-the-go with incredible sound quality.
