And now, the end is near, and Dónde needs vocals and percussion.
¿Dónde Está El Baño? vocals and percussion: rig run down
- ASUS Chromebook Flip C100PA
- Beyerdynamic DT-240 PRO headphones
- BandLab Link Digital audio interface
- MXL V67G microphone
- Samson PS01 pop shield
- Pig Hog 10ft XLR cable
- Star-shaped tambourine
- Unbranded claves
- Unbranded maraca
Recording
Firstly, I set up my gear in the usual way. In this case, that meant…
- Link Digital into my Chromebook
- V67G into the Link Digital
- DT-240 PROs into the Link Digital
Additionally, I popped the pop shield on the mic stand for recording vocals. Also, I’m not sure if you noticed last time, but I’ve taken to placing a blanket opposite my face.
Secondly, I did my admin. In this case, that meant exporting the bounced track with drums, bass, guitars, and ukulele, and importing it into a new project.
Thirdly, I got a level for my vocals, and blitzed through them.
Next, I repeated step two, and removed the pop shield, ready for recording percussion.
Because Dónde… is sung in Spanish, I wanted to add to that by using my maraca and claves for percussion.
Next, I got a level for the maraca. And then I recorded it.
Then, I got a level for the tambourine, and recorded that.
Finally, I got a level for the claves, which was particularly weird. But, I recorded it.
Additionally, I put some handclaps with the guitar solo – I was just feeling it.
Conclusion
In conclusion, recording Dónde… vocals and percussion was all relatively straightforward. Here’s how they sound.
