Hi there...Last year I recorded a full album for a Hard-core punk band...they had a guest vocalist which screamed in a very strange way (in the room you could only hear the very very high frequnsize) anyway- next week he is coming back to studio to recored his own Hardcore trash band...and I realy don't know how to handle his strange vocals...
here is a sample of last years CD...

i'm fairly new to recording, but i've put together a very small home studio to record some of the groups i'm in. most of the research i've read online says when it comes to the quality of recording, use your ears. the biggest problem with that, as both a musician and being the one recording, is that your ears can lie to you

Hi! I do not know what headphones to buy to reduce the sound from them on the track with vocal? So i do look for sound quality they make, i just want the minimum sound leakage. Thanx

I think most everyone knows of these cheap budget vocal condensers

MXL 990, Studio Project B1, Audio-Technica AT2020

These are all no more than $120. Ive read so much like "these mics sounds just as good as mics that have cost several hundred dollars."

I've always been into that sound of vocals that have been doubled. My problem is when my vocals are summed to mono (which most "major label" productions with this technique sound like they are, and most new songs that are popular seem to have done) they sound thin and out of phase. Am i doing something wrong, do they actually need to be panned out more than it seems?

Hi. This is my first time posting here. I'm sort of glad to have found this forum because it deals with the exact subject I've been having ongoing difficulties with for quite some time: recording vocals. It takes me a long time, because I can never get it to sound right, no matter how much I try. I always get a very mid-rangey sound, with a lack of presence.

Hello!

I read somewhere that a lot of studios use SansAmp PSA1 for recording vocals. How good can it be done with this preamp? Any suggestions how to set it up to get good vocals?

Thank you!

Im recording a singer that is struggleing to hit the right pitch on some notes. He either goes to high and drops back or pitches just under and drags the note up to correct pitch.How can I fix this? I have about $350 US to spend.
thanks, Shindog.

I'm currently working on a piano/vocal song - and for some reason, I can't seem to get the vocals and piano to work well together.

This is what I've come up with - take a listen:

Just got a whole bunch of new equipment - and tonight I tried to do a quick acoustic test with some of it.

Check this audio file out and tell me what you think. It's just a demo of me singing/playing - ignore the performances (they're not too great) - I'm more interested in how I can improve the tone.
