Hi. I am mixing in Pro Tools. I have the Waves Platinum bundle and the Digi plugins, that's all. I am using an mbox so I can't send to an outboard box. I'd like to put a light vocal distortion on one song (ie Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Is there a suggestion as to how I can do this using what I've got? Thanks a bunch.-J

Last night had a friend come by who wanted to "record a song." Well as it turns out it was a 13 minute folky fingerstyle type song. He did a juicy good job, but I had some trouble. I'm used to laying one track down at a time, or multiple mics for something like drums.

Hi all! I've got some vocals to record tomorrow for my band, and I think I'm going to try setting up two mics, and send them each to their own track. Probably put up an MD421 and either an AT2020 or MXL 2001. These will each run into a Mackie VLZ for pre's, then an ART Pro VLA compressor. The mics would be set up as close as possible to each other, with a pop-filter in front of both.

This song was wrote about a man and woman who's live's where change by a drunk driver. The couple is coming by the studio Sat. and don't have any knowledge of the song. Let me know what ya think. The acoustics are a little hollow but none the less. Can't seem to bring the vocals up anymore without modulation. Thanks for the listen and critique. Cool, Peace

Hey guys, I'm just looking for some advice and tips on mixing vocals... the vocals on my recordings always sound "out of place", I guess is the best way to describe it... they don't seem to blend well, and I can't figure out how to fix it.

Hi every one!
probably my question is quite easy, but my recording level at the moment is vary basic. I have a project which consist of some music and images put together with a vocal, which is spoken (not singing).

How do "YOU" do this? When I try to double, it's real obvious it 2 takes. I'm not a great singer but competent enough to come close - they just don't merge...
Is most doubling just track "copy and delay"? How do you pan them?
How much value in 2 actual(as opposed to virtual ) tracks.

I'm looking for a vocal mic preamp for male rock vocals mainly, and maybe some VO stuff. The main vocal mics I have are MXL 2001, Sennheiser MD421, and an AT4040 (my bass player's actually, but at my disposal). My current sad little pre's are a Mackie VLZ board, an M-Audio DMP3, and an ART TubePac.

Hi,
I am trying to record a stereo track in cool edit pro from my Tascam US 122L. Since it has to mic inputs L and R whenever I change it allows me to record only one channel. how do I record stereo from L input or R. help

I wanna make a vocal both out of one of my closets. My question is since its a small closet how much padding should I put in the closet? I was thing about doing some down comforters in the closet. Any help would be great...
