Vocal compression - does quality matter?
Forums
As a trained singer I do my best to sing at right kind of levels and have studied and practiced mic technique. I've been trying to find out more about the recording process and was suprised to be told by one engineer that the quality of the vocal compressor isn't that important. In my recording experience, engineers always seemed to save one of their best compressors for vocals.

Making Two Harmonizing Vocals Sound like One?
Forums
A promenient example of what I'm trying to achieve is Hoobastank's "The Reason." I know there are two vocals there harmonizing, but it sounds like two identical tracks exept one track is pitched to harmonize. It doesn't sound like the lead sang it twice--the two vocals are too similar!

Recording vocals & guitar simultaneously
Forums
Hi all,
I am trying to record vocals and acoustic guitar simultaneously, using only two microphones and two-track recording and still get a good stereo result (for musical reasons, I much prefer to play and sing at the same time, rather than do each separately).

Giving stereo expansion to vocal tracks
Forums
I'm recording a band and I would like to add a little more "fatteness" for the vocals in order to give a more stereo spaced impression. I tried to put the vocals on 2 tracks, pan towards Left and Right each and then I tried some delay from 1 to 30 ms between the two tracks. The result was like adding a chorus effect.

Vocal placement
Forums
I am recording some of my songs on a friend's computer, and my vocals seem to overpower the other instruments just as I put them loud enough to be heard. The voice sounds to bassy, not clear enough. I'm not sure what it is, but it sounds as if the vocals aren't part of the song, but a loud, unpretty, Karaoke performance.
