Amy Lee's Microphones

About the recording process of "Fallen"

When it came to recording Lee's vocals at NRG, the group tested out three mics: the Telefunken Elam 251E, the AKG C-12 and the regular Neumann U47 tube mic. The U47 won.

“That one seemed to have the classic presence,” reports Fortman, the producer.. “It sounded really good on Amy's voice. I love having that type of luxury, where you can record something from each mic, have everybody sit down and take time to choose.”

  • For a band like Evanescence, vocals are everything. What’s your specific audio chain to make sure the vocals really have presence?

  • Lately I’ve been using the AE5400——which has been really helpful. [Amy Lee] has a lot of dynamics, and it captures them nicely.
