It's not convenient to re-record this particular set of vocals, and I want to give the it a try with them sounding like a phone. Just looking for a *starting point.*

hey guys what are your thoughts on having the person mix the music different to the person mixing the vocals.

i have listened to my music so much that it has lost all meaning although i know exactly how i want my vocals to sound.

can you guys see an disadvantages with this?

i would basically be mixing vocals on a stereo mix.

cheers

Hi folks, I'vedone a few searches but don't seem to find quite what I'm looking for inexisting threads. Here's my situation. I'm going to record a group of singers accompanied by acoustic guitar. They are going to sing Christian songs in the Ojibwe langauge.

Hello there, I just recent bought some new equipment hoping to start recording vocals at home!
I went to my local music store, the clerk there helped me out with selecting some equipment based on my budget and requirements.

I run a desptop with Windows Seven installed ( i also have a laptop with vista installed).

As title says I am looking for comments on using my Sterling Audio Condenser Mic ST 79 for vocals. So far I have not gotten good results...Anyone have any input on this. Acoustic Guitars it does well for me. .But Vocals another matter. What would anyone like to suggest . .my budget is less around 500 Dollars. .I paid over that for this Sterling Audio so price did not help me out.

Using Nuendo 4.3 and an older 3.2 version on Windows XP SP2 OS PC has 3 gig Ram, 720 hard drive speed, AMD Dual chip, EMU 1820m soundcard. No matter what I do my vocals are crappy. Sound great through headphones while recording but listen to the wav and it becomes a monster. No matter how low or how high I set levels it is all the same distorted sound.

It's a tale you've heard many a time before... my song sounds great (to me) in headphones, but thins out to hell on my monitors.

I know a lot of singers owe their success to compressors, and limiters etc

I sing in a way that every word I sing appears to be coming 'suddenly', suddenly rise, forceful

When we naturally sing softly, the attack on every word is lets say natural.

I am facing a problem and am wondering if it can be solved by dynamics processing or something else

I been recording many years and still have never found a great solution to recording a vocalist and acoustic guitar with enough seperation to do any real EQ or processing.
I use two mics with the second mostly providing some body for the guitar.

Hello guys I'm a newbie here! I want to record a vocal track in Garageband (came free with my macbook), but I don't know what effect to use to get a certain sound I want.

I'll give you an example:
