I watch a LOT of tutorial videos on music production, mixing, recording to learn how to produce/record my own music. Almost 99% of them are made by cis-het men (usually white) . Often with an implicit (or explicit) assumption that the audience is also male. 

Therefore, I’ve been trying to make more DIY tutorials so ppl don’t have to listen to a white cis-het man every time they want to learn something recording/production/DIY✌️

Here’s one of the first. It’s a quick tutorial on the classic  “how to turn an old telephone into a microphone!”🎙☎️

It’s SUPER easy, requires just a screwdriver (no soldering) and is great for home recording or live performing vintage-y “telephone” vocals

Hello! Laurence here. If you follow me on my socials, you'll probably have seen me sharing my phone mics. These are vintage rotary phones that I convert into real, working microphones. They work like any other dynamic mic, and they sound like phones, because they are! It's a great way of achieving that narrowband "phone" EQ and lo-fi sound without any additional effects or processing. They make great showpiece props for bands, singers and theatre productions, and we now use them to record all phone dialogue in our audio dramas.

Up to now, I've only been selling them to friends and contacts. But you can now buy them from our Ko-fi shop!

I find the phones by scouring charity shops and marketplace ads, so each one is handmade and unique. They're mostly 40-50 years old, so they have the patina of age on them. Once I've converted a phone, I add a standard 1/4-inch jack input to the back, so it can be plugged into any amp or PA via a guitar lead (TS cable). They're completely passive - they don't need any power to work - just plug in, and away you go.

I sell each one for £100 + P&P, and I will be constantly updating the Ko-fi shop listing with photos of available phones - you can choose from a drop-down menu. At the time of writing, two have been sold, and two more are still available.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch! Link to the Ko-fi shop page in the comments below.

A Mic of Constant Sorrow, Part IV: Once Upon a Time in a Catalogue Wherein I finish the 1920s-style carbon microphone Seriously, though, doesn't that look like a 1975 Radio Shack catalogue shot?

  The last parts for the carbon microphone arrived yesterday! And once I got back to the Lair, I set about adding them to the circuit and building out the final version. Here’s a quick sample recording I’ll talk about more later.

So about a week ago I bought this lo-fi telephone mic from maxcapacity. It arrived today and I've been screwing with it for the past few hours. I took another song of mine and recorded it through the mic and then spent the next few hours messing around with it. This is what I came up with! Enjoy. If you like it you can download it from my Soundcloud.
