Hey, I'm using radio mics and a SM58 on a band and I was wondering the work flow people have for EQing vocals. I have a very limited time for soundcheck. How can I EQ different vocals to get the best sound? Atm I have a high pass on different vocalists filter to stop pops etc and clean up the sound. I sometimes eq the highest band as a de-esser.

Hi. I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on mixing vocals: I have some very well produced karaoke tracks that I am trying to add vocals to. I want a very dry vocal sound but they seem to sound too close up and seperate from the music regardless of what I do (compress, limit, equalize, etc.) I even tried to use an exciter plugin to brighten the track up a bit to match the music.

if someone could point me in the direction of where i could read about and fix vocal phasing that would be great!

thanks!

Ok. I'm fairfly new to recording. Obviously I already know about angling, vocal presecnce, water, the good preamps I need, and eliminating pop and rumble. I'm using either an Electro-Voice Large Diaphragm condenser, or a Shure SM57 to record vocals.

What would you guys recommend to do as far as recording raspy, lemmy-like vocals?

howdy!
ok...so my friend's dad offered to give me his Shure Vocal master PA setup for free. .i've never heard of these, but i guess it was pretty common back in the old days. (i'm pretty sure it's discontinued). but anyway, i was checkin it out and it seems to be all tube and kinda looks more like an old guitar head than a PA.

when recording a singer for a R&B song, how should it be layered? (ie. dubs, back ups, adlibs, etc.. ) i typically just record hip hop vocals but now I'm wanting to move on to R&B songs, i just want to be able to do it right.

So here's my situation:

I've been using a cheap $30 computer mic for recording and finally decided to use buy a real mic. I also own two mics which I used for live performances (Sennheiser e838 and e835), and I should mention that I've never actually tried recording with them.

Hi, I'm an 18 year old hoping to be a sound engineer. I used to do a lot of hip hop recordings but now I've switched my style into rock and acoustic. I recently just purchased a Joemeek Six Q preamp and although it's fun to use to record vocals, I want to also be able to record vocals and guitar playing together.

So, I've been recording long enough at this point to realize the pros and cons of dynamic and condenser mics. Perhaps the most frustrating thing to me is recording vocals: I really like the sound of a condenser, but I just do not have the money to drop on a condenser mic that actually works well for vocals.

I am trying to compress two tracks, vocals and music. I would like the music to fade slightly each time the vocals come in.

I think I've done this before on my regular compressor using a side-chain signal, but I was hoping to learn how to do it using digital effects.

Thanks in advance for any help.
