Recording Vocals with ONE

Singer/Songwriter Rachel Geller records her song "Blue" entirely with ONE and her laptop at Apogee's Berkeley Street Studios. Being affordable, high-quality and easy-to-use, Apogee's ONE has proved to be the missing link for Rachel between receiving and sending finished tracks to her producers in the most efficient way.

Capturing Bach with ONE

With her 1782 Gragnani confidently in hand as if an extension of herself, LA-based musician Christine Wu

played Johann Sebastian Bach’s classic violin solo with impressive ease and infectious enjoyment to a handful

of lucky Apogee ears.

 

With notes and emotion authentically captured with the built-in microphone, the recording attests to ONE’s

high-fidelity capabilities even with a 230 year-old

vintage classical violin.

Recording Cello Entirely with Apogee’s ONE

"Pretty Far Gone” was recorded entirely with Apogee’s ONE- including cello, guitar and vocals- captured solely by its internal condenser microphone, premium converters and mic preamp.

 

With soothing cello, solid and rhythmic acoustic guitar and harmonizing vocals, a song about drinking Jagermeister has never been so intoxicating.

Using ONE to record an entire song in GarageBand

“Forever” is a complete song demonstrating ONE’s amazing potential. Each instrument was recorded using ONE’s internal condenser microphone with the exception of bass and electric guitar, which were recorded direct using ONE’s instrument input. Using careful placement, vocals, acoustic guitar and drums were all recorded in mono. Once tracking was complete “Forever” was edited and mixed in GarageBand. Download the GarageBand session file to see exactly what we did.

When recording acoustic guitar in mono using ONE’s internal microphone, ONE was placed one foot away from the fret board around the twelfth fret. We started with ONE directly in front of the twelfth fret but then moved it down the fret board a bit to get away from the sound hole.

ONE recording trumpet

Mic Placement

When recording Trumpet using ONE’s internal microphone, ONE was placed at bell height while the player stood off access at a 45 degree angle about 2 feet from ONE. The reason for standing off axis is that pointing the bell directly at the internal microphone caused the signal be a bit bright. Once the player moved off axis we arrived at the tone we were looking for.

When recording drums in mono using ONE’s internal microphone, ONE was placed between the rack tom and floor tom facing the snare drum. This allowed ONE to be in the center of the entire kit capturing all drums equally.
