Greetings!
Wanted to ask for advise on a specific vocal recording/mixing technique:
I have noticed that in many pop-rock mixes the way that vocals done in choruses is different from the verses. The vocals sound thicker, powerful, but at the same time - more distant then the verse. An example would be "Who knew" by Pink.
Does anybody know how this is done?

Hey all I'm new to the boards and very impressed with the level of support and knowledge everyone is sharing, very refreshing.
Just got a qn about the hip hop group styles of beyond. Does anyone know what they're using on there vocals?. I've racked my brain and can't figure out what it is?. It's a question that has burdened me for sometime and would love to get to the bottom of it

so last night I was mixing a song I recorded. My goal was to give it a live feel, which i was able to to achieve with the instruments, but the vocals just sound to polished. I doubled the vocals and threw it through a sans amp plug to get a more vintage sound. but its really did nothing to bring out the harshness I was trying to achieve.

I've been using one called Freeverb. .its free ha. .but yea, I find it sounds a little tin canish

aaanyways, what would you all recommend as the best reverb plugin for vocals?

what mics are good for vocals mostly rap and females singing,,,under the price of $300...i read a lot but i wanna hear what you guys say to make up my mind...thanks a lot for time!

Hi all,

My vocal and harmonies do not sound commercial CD polished. Subjective opinions aside, I want it to sound that way and I hope folks here can share some tips ; )

I know being a Beyonce helps but what I wish to find out is, beside vocal techniques, what recording techniques and tools can improve the situation.

i read articles and i read a lot in this forum
and i just got so much info i kinda I'm confused cuz sum people say this mic is good and others say its a piece of crap...so i was wonderin if any of you guys can help in picking a mic...I'm mainly using it for vocals rap/singing..
budget will be like around $400-$500..

hey guys,
Can anyone tell me how to achieve the gang vocal effect in the clip below? The sound effect I'm talking about comes in at about 10 seconds. (you'll know what I'm talking about)

I'm familiar with normal gang vocals, but these sound a bit different.

Hi all,

I'm new to computer DAW recording but have experience using dedicated multi-track digital recorders.

Anyway - this one has me frustrated and scratching my head.

My signal chain is the following:

Mic->Preamp->M-Audio Audiophile USB Interface->Mac (Logic)

I've recently purcahsed a fireface 400 and I am looking for a condensor mic to compliment a classical, tenor voice. One of the mic's I am interested in is the Mojave Audio MA200 but I can't seem to find any male vocals recorded with this mic. Anyone happen to have link(s) to male vocals recorded with the ma200?
