Hi guys, I've always had some problems with vocals in my mixes, I was wondering, what's the secret to really including your vocal tracks in the mix, my vocal tracks sound ok, but sometimes I can't manahe to fit them in the rest of the mix, so they tend to sound "kareoke-like", any tips on this matter? Thanks!

I am extremely new to recording (like very, very new) and don't know much about it. I generally understand mixing terms and such, however, so I'm hoping you guys will be able to help me.

That realy cool ghostley noise, if i reverse the vocal section i want the effect on i get it, but the vocals are the wrong way round! I want the ghostley noise but so the vocals are the right way round.

Its on Cubase SX3 btw.

Can you please HELP ME?

Thanks allot,
Jake. :evil:

I've been basically shouting at artists in my booth to get them to respond or they crack the door open to really hear me so now I NEED a talkback system or I will lose my voice and patience.

Right now, the headphones that go to the iso booth come from a PreSonus HP4. The HP4 has only 1 stereo input so I cannot go into it.

I am currently in the process of setting up a home studio. My computer setup is in my bedroom, which is almost where I am limited to recording, one problem with that is that the fan on my computer tower is not loud, but it isn't silent. I am afraid it would definitely come through with vocals on a condenser mic, or with guitar through a sm57.

My friend (bandmate) and I have been debating the fact of doubling vocals in the recording of our songs. As the singer, I like the sound of the doubled vocal because it fattens the sound up a bit and allows for the vocals to cut through and not seem small compared to the other loud instruments. I also think my voice sounds better when doubled rather than with just one track.

Hey! Im pretty new to these forums, only made a post or two. My question today is, how can I make choir type vocal effects? For example, take a look at the song "Curse You All Men", and skip to 2:57 to hear what I'm talking about. Theres only 1 singer, yet it sounds like theres a large church choir there or something.

http://myspace.com/therefortomorrow has a song called "Wrong Way To Hide"

Hi. So I just bought a new laptop, nothing fancy some simple hp pavilion one. Right now I don't even have a mic plugged in and my empty recordings are choke full of noise. Hell I can even capture my own voice if i talk loud enough to the machine without a mic or any kind of sound input device on. I don't know if that's common but I thought it was very amusing.

How can I record two singers in one take in the same room with minimum spill?

I was thinking of two cardioids @ 180º with 2m separation. I wonder though, with reflections and all what the spill will be.

Any improvements to be made on this?

We have only one live room, no separate vocal booth. Only solid baffles, no windows.
