I sing on my own compositions after recording drums, guitar and bass.
I am really happy with the sound I get from my set up consisting of:
Rode NT2A condenser Mic
Boss VE-5 Vocal Performer
Tascam DP32 SD digital multitrack recorder
I have a very quiet, soft, female voice and sing with my mouth about 3 inches from the pop filter. I have dialed in a lovely sound including lots of reverb using the Boss machine.
However, the person who mixes and produces my recordings would like a nice, clean, dry sound so they can tweak it afterwards.
The problem is, I don’t sing very well when I hear that raw, dry, untreated sound in my headphones when I am singing and being recorded.
I have had an idea that I could by an identical Rode NT2A mic and place it right next to the existing one. This could go directly into another track on the Tascam without any effects. Thus providing one clean vocal from the new mic and one heavy on effects from the first mic. The bonus being I get to hear the sound I like in my headphones.
Will this result in any quality issues? For example, will 2 mics placed side by side cause any feedback in the headphones? I have heard of phase problems. I don’t fully understand what this means. Does this only happen with live performances?
Any comments will be gratefully received. Thanks.
