Q&A with multi-platinum rock producer Michael Wagener.

When you dial in the eq settings to record vocals, is there a default starting-point that you listen to and tweak or some other less onerous process than I'm currently using?

I don't use EQ during recording. I work until I find the right mic and preamp, so I don't need EQ. The only signal processing i do while tracking is heavy compression on a mono room mic with the RETRO 176 or Chandler TG-1 and fairly high compression on the vocal, via a Distressor with up to 20 dB gain reduction.

EQing is sooo 80s :thumbsup:
 
Resurrecting this thread to see if Mr. Wagener might come back for a revisit. A lot has changed/evolved since this thread was last active and I'd love to get his take on some new technology that has sprung up and become affordable for us working stiffs. :rock:
 
Wow.

This thread is gold. I had just gotten heavy into the gear hole around this time and had zero experience in recording on my own. Wish I had gotten into it earlier but damn, so much good info in here.

Makes me wonder how many other ridiculous threads like this are buried on R-T.

Way back in the day there was a thread about shitting your pants at work. It was painfully funny.....but I think it's long gone. :rock:

Must admit...I got a bit excited when I saw this near the top yesterday. Am also hopeful for a return. :rock:
