I used a Sm7 into a presonus tube pre with a electro harmonix tube. I rolled off some of the low end and sent it into a multiband compressor in which I compressed the really high frequencies and brought them up a ways. It acts kind of like a vocal exciter and de esser. Also, the vocalist is great so that makes it a lot more easy. There was a little bit of room verb on there and delay that matched the tempo in the amount that was just below audible when the whole band was playing. Thanks!
On this mix, I used an Engl Powerball through a 4x12 with Eminence Governors with a sm57 about an inch to the right of center (pointing right where the cone and the rest of it meet). Do you guys think that it will be better to mic the speaker centered instead? I have also used the Fredman method before and like it a lot, maybe that will work?
