Microphone — Step 1 in the chain

AKG C414 XLII

One of the most widely used professional studio microphones in the world. The C414 XLII is a large-diaphragm condenser used on vocals, instruments, and broadcast content in major recording facilities internationally. It captures detail, warmth, and presence in a way that budget microphones fundamentally cannot. This is the microphone that turns a performance into a recording.

Acoustic Isolation — Removes the room

Aston Halo Shadow

The Aston Halo Shadow is a studio-grade reflection filter that surrounds the microphone capsule and eliminates room reflections before they reach the signal. The result is a direct, clean, dry vocal recording — the same result you'd get in a fully treated studio booth, achievable without a purpose-built room. This is what separates a home recording from a studio recording at the acoustic level.

Interface — Converts the signal

Focusrite Solo

Industry-standard audio interface with Focusrite's Air preamp technology. The Focusrite Solo converts your microphone signal from analogue to digital with exceptional clarity and minimal noise. It is transparent by design — it captures exactly what the microphone hears, without colouring or degrading the signal. Trusted globally by recording engineers and studios at every level.

DAW & Vocal Chain — Captures and exports

FL Studio + Professional Vocal Chain

FL Studio is a professional digital audio workstation used by producers and engineers worldwide. The vocal chain running in the session is a tuned combination of high-pass filtering, EQ, compression, and subtle saturation — designed to enhance and capture your voice, not change it. The dry recording track is exported without processing; the chain is used only for monitoring and comfort during the session. What you receive is the clean, unprocessed WAV.
