Recently producer Paul Drew found himself having to record a vocal in a hotel room, this was the only option left available that worked with the artist.

The mic used is a Shure SM7, which while a fantastic vocal mic used on some of the biggest tracks of all times from artists like Michael Jackson, what Paul was looking for was the sound of a large condenser microphone.

Not to be deterred by the circumstances Paul tracked the vocal and then set about taking a dull sounding vocal and adding shine to give it the modern pop sound he wanted for the track.

Find out how he did it watching these three video tutorials.
