Telefunky Got Soul!
I’m getting really excited! Very soon I will have my new microphone: A Telefunken M 80 Handheld Vocal Microphone, which I will refer to from now on as the Telefunky (I’m not the first one to use that term).
To those that are familiar with recording and audio production, this may not sound like a particularly exciting microphone and compared to several others that I desire, it is pretty ordinary actually, but it is not simply the object that I am excited about, it is the process of using it. I recently decided to try recording my vocals using a hand-held mic and it worked really well. Using my trusty SM57 mic was great, but in search for something with a better sound for recording vocals in this way at a reasonable price I came across the Telefunky.
It should be great for recording electric guitar too, so once I get more organized with my projects I should be able to provide more details about that and recording/mixing in general.
I have also decided to focus even more on my passion for creating music, which means spending less time on the internet. I recently assessed my day-to-day activities and realized that a very large chunk of my time is spent online without being productive. I have also been spending more time interacting with people face to face than in recent years too, which is really inspiring me and giving me some great ideas to realize many of my intentions.
Taking some time out with this microphone will provide a welcome, real-life distraction for my work, along with enjoying the time I spend with my new daughter, Lilla.
