Tony Visconti rigged up a system of three microphones to capture the epic vocal, with one microphone nine inches from Bowie, one 20 feet away and one 50 feet away. Only the first was opened for the quieter vocals at the start of the song, with the first and second opening on the louder passages, and all three on the loudest parts, creating progressively more reverb and ambience the louder the vocals became.
Inverse squared baby!
Ill Need more mics too, maybe I'll save up and get your k2 unless someone is smart enough to get it first.
I should try it!
Maybe we can make an arrangement?That microphone set up does sound huge let me tell ya!
Neither do my tax returns.
Not sure if it would do anything, but noone will bite you if you tried.Does anyone think a set-up like this would do anything for narration? I've been curious to try, but only if another mic fell in my lap.
I was sort of thinking of it for dialogue in particular, to give it a more "you're in the room" feel. Some might think this borders on radio drama instead of straight long-form narration, but it could prove interesting.

Not unless you go from whispering/normal speaking to screaming during your narration
So . . . this is ideal for Nicolas Cage, then?Not unless you go from whispering/normal speaking to screaming during your narration
