Nicely written and informative. The headphone volume thing is real!

This is really good, working remotely with a former band mate on vocals.

Excellent stuff, Brad.

It reminded me that Bono uses an SM57 with a barf ball to record all of his vocals.

Oh, and mic technique! So damn important. It's also something, or the lack of it, that drives me batshit when I have to go to show choir concerts. Don't glue that SM58 to your lips, kids!
