This episode is about going the extra mile to make sure your vocalist feels as good as possible when its time to perform.

The performance matters more than anything. The best mic and vocal chain in the world doesn’t matter if the delivery doesn’t cut it. What you record has to resonate with the listener, there’s gotta be a vibe, it just has to feel right. So we need to make sure that a singer we’re recording can do his/her best job when it counts.

This is true for every instrument, by the way. But the vocals are such a personal, intimate thing and they are also the thing that listeners care about the most, so that we think it’s especially important to get a good performance here.

Besides making sure that the room has a vibe and the whole communication/psychology/coaching thing, there’s one major element that you as the engineer have control over: The headphone mix.

You want to make the artists you're recording and their songs sound as good as possible on their headphones, so that they feel like a star and perform like one.

So let’s go through what you can (and should) do to make that happen!
