Seven-time Grammy\u00ae winning Engineer and Mixer, Darrell Thorp, recently acquired a pair of Lauten Audio\u2019s Multi-voicing\u2122 microphones, the Atlantis FC-387.<\/strong>\"400Darrell_Thorpe_MAIN2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Recently picking up multiple Grammy\u2019s for his work on Beck\u2019s, \u201cMorning Phase,\u201d Thorp has built a solid foundation in the music industry, further adding to that foundation with his Atlantis microphones. Thorp and Lauten Audio\u2019s founder, Brian Loudenslager, recently became acquainted after exchanging social media praise for each other. \u201cI friended Darrell on Facebook; upon him accepting my request, he posted on my page stating, \u201cLove your mics!\u201d I replied simply, \u201cLove your ears,\u201d says Loudenslager, adding, \u201cOf course I had to inquire and get more specifics as I wasn\u2019t aware Darrell was using our microphones\u201d.<\/p>\n

During a session in 2014, Thorp had a challenging vocal session with a female singer, Suzanne Santo from the band HoneyHoney, who had a very powerful and dynamic vocal. Thorp talked the producer into getting a demo of the Atlantis microphone so he could try it on a few things. \u201cThe producer wanted to try it on her vocal,\u201d said Thorp. \u201cWe had tried other microphones without success. We put up the Atlantis and, BAM!, really airy and open,\u201d says Thorp. \u201cWhat really surprised us was how much the mic was smoothing out the 3k bump that was part of her tone. It smoothed the vocal into a more manageable place that I could handle better on the mix. And she loved the Atlantis as well,\u201d added Thorp.\u00a0He used the \u2018Neutral\u2019 setting on the Multi-voicing Atlantis mic, the other settings are \u2018Gentle\u2019 and \u2018Forward\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was truly an honor to have the intended design of the Atlantis validated by such a decorated engineer like Thorp\u201d, says Loudenslager. Released in 2012, the Atlantis was a collaboration between engineer\/producer Fab Dupont and Lauten Audio. Dupont wanted a modern vocal microphone, with multiple timbres that could tackle any vocal challenge, that idea became the Atlantis, model FC-387. On release of the Atlantis in 2012, Fab said, \u201cI need a microphone that can be custom tailored for recording female vocalists, so that when they start belting on a chorus \u2013 my eyes don\u2019t hurt!\u201d <\/p>\n

Since that initial demo of the Atlantis, Thorp added a pair to his own collection. \u201cI\u2019ve now used them on drums, vocals, background vocals, and guitars,\u201d says Thorp. \u201cI recently used Atlantis on snare; turned it to the \u2018Forward\u2019 setting, holy crap, the snare was really snappy and bright – perfect for the song. I like it on back-ground vocals in Omni mode.\u201d In addition to having the Multi-voicing switch, Atlantis also features Cardioid, Figure-of-eight, and Omni-directional polar patterns, as well as a +10 gain, and -10dB pad. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been great in the mix,\u201d Thorp told Loudenslager, \u201cMan, I am a believer. You have a great product here!\u201d<\/p>\n
