Mikayla Pasterfield: The Shure SM7B mic is my favourite piece of equipment! Given that I have very little production knowledge this mic is an absolute life saver. From recording rough demos to creating harmonic vocal loops this is the perfect mic for the job. It sets up with ease and is durable enough to survive being moved just about anywhere I need it.
Getting the perfect sounding vocals are so important to me because that is the only instrument I play and can have control of. Plus I think it is so important that the lyrics of a song are clearly heard in the tone intended by the artist and I think this mic does exactly that. All the vocals for my first two singles were self recorded on that mic and the result is exactly what I needed! It is the perfect fit for providing studio-quality sound without studio equipment experience.
Mikayla Pasterfield's EP Heritage Listed is out now.
