Hey guys,

Hi Guys,

Hi. I'm an experienced recordist in small and project studios, but now I am recording myself.

And there is the problem. All my instruments sound great on playback. Acoustic guitars, electrics, bass, drums, tambourines, you name it, they sound great.

any tips to get a nice indie hip hop sound on vocals. (distoriton or overdrive?)

A buddy of mine is a vocalist in a touring band and he is coming over tomorrow to track a vocal demo at my place. I've got my SM58 set up with a cheapo pop filter a few inches away. I use the same mic/room placement technique as I do when I track my guitar tracks, but other than that I'm not sure what to really shoot for short of experimentation.

I play a lot of music from the death metal genre. Lots of chuggs, blast beats, and low growls. And to record vocals I've been using a Behringer XM1800S mic (cheap all-around dynamic mic) hooked up to a 30W bass amp, then miked with a Shure c606 all-around/vocal mic. And when listening back, I think it sounds pretty amazing, for a cheap home studio.

Hi Pros…

Help me optimize recording levels for vocals / speaches

My background:
I know just enough to do volunteer work at a religious institute. And I have been doing it for long time.

Work I do:
I record spiritual discourses. It’s always one speaker – male with a deep bass voice.

I have been a long time user of Sequoia 7 and decided to try out Samplitude 11 to record/mix vocal tracks. For some reason when I import an instrumental track on Track 1, and record a vocal part on Track 2, the vocal track on Track 2 is sped up and does not fit onto the timing of the instrumental Track 1.

I'm looking for some advice on a mid-range condenser mic to record vocals with. I plan on having this mic for a while because I don't think Guitar Center returns mics used for vocals.

ok I'm a upcoming rapper and i need some help gettin my vocals to sound "track" ready any tips it doesnt even have to be using a program just any tips wit changing vocals sounds just any help cu i kinda got a nice monotone thing going on and my breathing sucks so idk please give me tips if you got any
