Leakage - Any unwanted sound picked up by (or “leaking” into) a microphone from another instrument or loudspeaker. Sound from one room that is heard in another.

i really think that leakage is very important on the overall sound of the mix... i've recorded some vocals and i think they feel a bit unatural because there's no leakage! anyone know a plugin that simulates leakage or a technique?

Hey,
If I mike a snare with say an sm 57 and i use a dish like object to cover the rear end of the microphone, will most of the high frequency leakage from the hi hats get cancelled out due to the dish like obstruction.

Hi friends
I daily use K240M AKG headphones. They are very comfortable, sound nice but as I have been sessioning lots of semideff musicians, leakage starts to become a problem. I know they have other models, with different impedances and so. I donpt have a chance to test all models here in Brazil. Some people mention Sony, Sennheiser, Koss.
