Hey all, I've got a question about my vocals. They sound detached somehow. I'm pretty sure it's not my equipment. I'm using an Audio-Technica AT4040 condenser mic w/ shockmount, M-Audio firewire 410 interface, and Cubase SE for recording software. Is it my plugins? The reverb in the SE version sucks, as does the delay. The dynamics package is fine (compression, noise gate, limiter).

I just switched from a Millennia TD-1 to a Vipre. I do love the versatility and sound of the vipre over the Millennia Pre but there is that certain sound I'm still looking for. How different are these units considering that the vipre has a lot of different settings. I'm getting closer but I'm just not there yet.

i'm using a Yamaha EMX66M 600 watt powered mixer w/12 in Peaveys...4pc live (i'm not recording) rock band w/vocals only going through the mixer/pa. any rule of thumb as to eq settings on the graphic equalizer? (i.e. add some freq "X"/or cut on freq "y"). and what are the sweet frequencies to boost for fullness and the "in frontness" that vocals need?

Hello. I was wondering why people use isolation booths for vocals but say that they sound like a "phone booth" when it comes to recording acoustic guitar. Doesn't the "phone booth" sound also apply to vocals?

Thanks
Mike

Hello everyone! Newbie here! :D

OK, so I've recently been getting more involved with my music, and currently thinking of setting up a small "vocal recording studio" of my own. I think in the long run, this will save me a lot of money as I can record all my vocals at home, instead of at the studio ($$$). Unfortunately, I'm pretty retarded when it comes to hooking up gear...

I have so many questions, I don't know where to start. But I mainly want to know how should I properly "mix" or blend in the vocals with the music. I usually just record karaoke/instrumental tracks where I have the music as one track and the vocals as another. Currently, I'm using Adobe Audition. I have the music file on the first track and the vocals on the second track.

Hey there,
I'm looking to add a Tube mic to my home studio set up. I will (at least fro the first little while) be running it directly into my Digi 002R. Eventually I'll invest in a nice mic preamp. I'll be using it mainly for voice over work, but would also like to record vocals for music projects as well.

Hi all,

Just interested as to what people thought was the better mic between the RODE NT2A and the AudioTech. AT4040 - for recording vocals (and acoustic instruments)?

I have looked at some prices, and in Australia the 4040 seems to be more expensive then the NT2A, but in the US the 4040 seems to be cheaper?

Is there something I'm missing here?
