Snippets of the interview:

“More than likely I’ll already have the music if I’m recording the vocal,” points out Miami-based Marcella Araica (Missy Elliot, Joe Jonas, Nelly Furtado, Usher and many others). “I like to get a sense for the feel and tone and what the range is, and that really determines what type of mic I use and what preamp.”

Araica also sets levels very quickly. “It happens sometimes that they’re in the middle of doing levels and they do that money take,” she says. “I always record. Even if the music stops and they’re in there talking or just messing around, because sometimes they might do something really cool, or their mind might take them somewhere to do a different creative idea, and they’ll realize that they went somewhere, and say, ‘Oh my God, that was so cool, did you record that?’ And I’m like, ‘Yup.’”
