Townsend Labs and the band Mighty Oaks invite you to have an exclusive look at their production and recording process in the studio. At the center of it all: The Sphere L22 microphone. Learn more about the Sphere L22 here: https://bit.ly/3aV4T92 Mighty Oaks is a folk band from Berlin, Germany, comprised of Ian Hooper (US), Claudio Donzelli (Italy), and Craig Saunders (UK). Having enjoyed major-label success with their 2014 debut album "Howl," they've undergone an evolution of recording themselves and being recorded by other people over time. For their fourth album "Mexico" to be released in 2021, they decided to go mostly DIY and write and record the album at Ian Hooper's basement studio. To finish the album, they enlisted the producer Nikolai Potthoff, who had already produced the band's previous record and introduced them to the Sphere L22. "In the end, we realized that technology is so much more advanced these days that you can do so much at home or in a small studio." - Ian Hooper This video is an in-depth look at how Mighty Oaks are making and recording music these days. Find out how Ian, Claudio, and Craig record acoustic guitars, vocals, and piano with the Sphere L22 and how their creative process has benefited from the mic's post-production capabilities and sonic options.
