"The UR2/SM58 was also used by Demi Lovato, Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini, Tamela Mann, and Kirk Franklin, along with members of Little Big Town." "Fittingly, the most popular wireless microphone choice among performers was the classic Shure SM58®. It was selected by a diverse group of artists, including Luke Bryan, Selena Gomez,** Demi Lovato*, Meghan Trainor, Nick Jonas, Alanis Morissette, and Walk the Moon." " Now in its 50th year on the market, the SM58 was used atop several UHF-R handhelds in the Lionel Richie tribute, including those used by* Demi Lovato**, Luke Bryan, Meghan Trainor, Tyrese, and Richie himself."

Lovato is using a handheld wireless Sennheiser SKM 945 G2 vocal microphone,according to Gary Westman, Lovato’s front-of-house engineer and tour manager. Lovato’s microphone has been performing very well under difficult conditions. “There is a ramp that goes way out into the center of the audience and Demi gets out there in front of the PA. The crowd is deafening. With the screaming girls you have to have that PA just soaring, but I can get her vocal up over the audience and the music, no problem,” he says.

Used on Lovato's vocals for Clean Bandit's "Solo", as mentioned by mix engineer Mark Ralph in this November 2018 Sound on Sound interview.

“The Intro Strings group has the XLN Audio RC20 Retro Color, which is a little find of Jack’s. That plug-in gives you a very nice, natural-sounding array of analogue-type processing. It has noise for general crackle on the track, and you can use it for several different types of overdrive. The overdrive can be very subtle. I used some wobble and distortion on the strings, and I also used RC20 distortion all the way through on Demi’s vocals. It made all the vocals sound like they are slightly overcooked and slightly up and down in pitch a little bit, as though they were coming off a record that wasn’t being played back very reliably. The RC20 also has a very nice reverb.”

“All Demi’s chorus vocals are sent to the ‘Demi Chorus Chops Group’ track, on which I have the Waves Greg Wells VoiceCentric. Jack and I were wondering what to do to add some excitement to Demi’s vocals, so we put the Greg Wells plug-in on, and found that it made it sound quite good. So whenever we felt a little unexcited during this mix session, we just reached for the GW plug-in and it made everything sound nice. We used the Greg Wells MixCentric on one of the Bollywood strings tracks. Demi’s chorus group vocals also were treated with the ShaperBox. The mix is set to 37 percent, and it is just to add a little bounce to the vocals. When done in a subtle way, side-chaining on vocals really makes them feel as if they have a little bit more rhythm.”

“We also have Avid’s Smack! on Demi’s lead vocal. Normally the Waves CL76 is a go-to in-the-box compressor for me, but Smack still gets me an effect that’s most like an outboard compressor. It is really good at detecting pops, and de-essing in a very light way. When I have the vocal on the desk, it will go through my outboard compressor, and sometimes also desk compression. I will err on the side of caution because I know that it will be irreversible by the time I go in the box. When I am in the box and want to hear the vocals really right up front, I will put on Smack! on a more extreme setting, in this case an attack of 5.9 and a ratio of 6:1. The main lead vocal tracks have sends to the two reverb and delay aux tracks lower down the session, where you can see that I completely cut the reverbs and delay in a couple of places, which is a DJ trick: filtering a whole mix in and out."
