MUSIC: Obiwon Presents His New Singles

R & B crooner turned urban gospel artiste Obiora Obiwon has witnessed enough transitions to keep the Nigerian urban music scene guessing and his followers constantly on their feet. Nevertheless, the successes of the albums “Overture” which spun the hit ballad “Onyinye” and “The Rebirth” equally heavily driven by the hit wedding anthem “Obi Mu O”, position him as a force not to be ignored in Nigerian popular music and

beyond.

ARTICLE: Recording Lead Vocals In The Home Studio - Frequently Asked Questions

By Paul White & Mike Senior of Sound On Sound Magazine, UK (www.soundonsound.com)

This one's strictly for the home studio geeks/tweakheads amongst you all. As the digital age really sinks into any and every facet of life, more and more music enthusiasts are setting up their studios at home and turning themselves into a one man army of musician, producer, and recording, mix and mastering engineer. Yet, without adequate knowlegde of some basic vocal recording techniques, this may become your most hellish nightmare yet!

A great lead vocal sound can make all the difference between an average demo and a potential single. Many tracks have been transformed into hits simply by an inspired vocal. It is in recognition of the importance of the lead vocal that top producers often spend such a large amount of time and money working on this one element of a finished track. Below are common questions relating to this one vital aspect of music production.

Q I'm currently using a dynamic mic for recording vocals, but I've heard that capacitor (condenser) mics are better. What difference would I notice if I bought one?

For a start, capacitor (or condenser) mics are generally more sensitive than dynamic mics, which means you'll need less preamp gain to get the same signal level. However, when close miking lead vocals there is seldom a problem in getting sufficient signal level. The main difference you're likely to notice moving from a dynamic to a capacitor mic is that the capacitor mic reproduces high frequencies more faithfully, producing a more open sound than a dynamic model with much more clarity and definition.

VIDEO: Zoe - "Your Love"

Here's a premiering cut from a new (or maybe not so new) blip on the industry radar, and she goes by the name Zoe. You may better remember her as being one of the top 6 finalists on the “Nigerian Idol" Reality Music Talent Show 2011. In this viddy, tagged, "Your Love", she sings about the love of Some One whose love never fails. Does she quite nail it in? You be the judge!
