Royer Labs and Mojave Audio microphones used by Tommy Vicari

Independent engineer and scoring mixer Tommy Vicari, a two time Grammy Award winner and six time Emmy Award winner, has selected ribbon microphones from Royer Labs and condenser microphones from Mojave Audio for use on his latest project, ‘Finding Dory’, a 3D computer-animated comedy adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.

For ‘Finding Dory’, Vicari used Royer’s R-121 Mono Ribbon and SF-24 Stereo Active Ribbon microphones in conjunction with the Mojave Audio MA-300, MA-100, and MA-101 fet condenser mics. “The Royer R-121, SF-24, and the Mojave MA-300 were used extensively throughout the pre-recording process, which took place at composer Thomas Newman’s Deep Sleep studio,” Vicari reports.

“The remaining recordings were captured at the Newman Scoring Stage in LA and the Streisand Scoring Stage in Culver City, CA with the tracks ultimately being mixed at the Village in Santa Monica. During the various sessions, I used a combination of the Royer SF-24 and the Mojave MA-100 on the piano and for the percussion, we captured those performances using the Royer SF-24 along with Mojave MA-101fets. The Royer R-121 was used to record the solo violin.

“The orchestra was recorded at Fox and Sony by Armin Steiner. Because of the complex nature of this score, the orchestra was the last stage of this process. The merging of pre-record, environmental pads, rhythm loops, live percussion, electric wind instruments, accompanying string instruments such as dulcimers, Tahitian ukulele, banjo, plus bowed and electric bass was all captured first. After recording all of this information, we recorded the orchestra with Armin, and then we combined all these elements to create Thomas Newman’s score.”
