Hello, Just wondering if anyone knows what might be used on this live performance vocal.

Hi,

I'm recording a songwriter with 1 large condenser; vocals and acoustic guitar. Also, I'm Micing a cello, and a violin with a RODE ntg-2 shotgun. I'm running both into a Zoom H4N recorder. 

Here's a mock-up of how I intend to set up. Nix the back-up singers. Any ideas or tips?
Much appreciated!

Hi,

Thanks in advance for reading and any help that you may have :)

I record a weekly tech podcast and I'm trying to make the sound as professional as possible.

i was wondering how do engineers get that "in front of your face" sound on vocalists. i am currently mixing down a friend of mine that did a rap on one of my beats. i compressed his track a bit, then sent it to two aux tracks to one panned left and one panned right and slightly lowered the level. any other tips or advice you can give me please!

Ok, so here is the deal.

I am recording the voice for a companies Phone Messaging System, their phone company is telling me that the recording needs to be in CCITT u-law, 8.000khz, 8 Bit, Mono format. I am using Cubase 5 to record and i have tried this:

I have a little mixer called the Behringer Xenyx 1202 FX
 
What I would like to do is monitor my vocals with the effects from the mixer along with the output from my computer's sound card through the headphone Jack on the mixer.
But when recording, only record the dry vocals back into my computer. I have tried many things but nothing is really working.

Hi, i hope this is posted in the right section, sorry if its not.

Well i'm wanting to start recording my music mainly just acoustic and vocals
and to be honest i have no idea at all what i need to buy to get decent recordings done

Being primarily a solo artist I do my best singing while playing the Acoustic guitar. This creates a problem when I record as my Vocal track picks up artifacts from my guitar. In an effort to get as CLEAN a vocal track as possible I have tried Noise Gates, EQ and any other method I could think of to reduce the guitar in the vocal track.

What would be a nice lil' mic to record vocals over youtube? Maximum $100 XD. I plan to use Garage Band, so yeah...all amateur recording. Any suggestions?
