A vocalist I am trying to track wants to put his hands on the mic to create effects that he does live. This of course exes out the pop filter and causes less than CD quality sound. Any suggestions?

G'day All,

I'm recording second album and due to producer moving, I've decided to take on the production myself.

I have a great Guitar, Bass and Drum sound and just about to work on Vocals, (pre-production is finished.)

I'm using Nuendo and looking to get a decent mic and mic preamp to record with, have a great room - just need the vocal hardware.

I was listening to the A capella version of Tupac's "R U Still Down" comparing it to my A capella vocals and it is pretty much the same. I run into problems when I mix the music with the vocals. How do you get that same sound after the mix?

Thanks for the Guidance!

How do you get the warm sound in vocal recording?

Thanks for the Guidance!

I am trying to record hip hop vocals, but my voice always sounds like I am in a box, or behind the music. I am using a Tube MP Studio pre-amp, and a MXL v57 condenser mic. Is this the wrong equipment. What can I do?

I need help in figuring out how, if possible, to clean up the echo sounds in a vocal recording. I have some recorded vocals and they sound good when listened to through regular speakers, but when listend to through head phones the echo of the room they were recorded in really stands out and sounds awful. Is there a way to remove that in software?

I'm considering a Neve 1073, and a UA 1176LN compressor. Any idea how this signal path would sound with a u87ai on vocals. Recording mainly rap, reggae and r&b vocals.

Any recomendations for the u87 mic? preamps or comps.

I currently use the Avalon 737sp. I got some extra cash now and i know i can get something a lot better out there.
honest advice please.

my problem is that i cant hear what I'm saying thru my speakers or headphone.

Hi, I recently got set up with gear to do some home recording. I thought I would share a recording I did using the following chain:

Audio-Technica 4033 (vocals); Taylor ES on 914 ce (guitar) --> Avalon AD2022 preamp --> E-MU 1212m sound card --> Cubasis OEM software that came with the card.

I posted a wee message in the recording section thingy place!

But didnt really get an answer. I need to record vocals ina decent vocal booth and then take home to mix onmy G5 Logic pro 7 system as I cant geta decent vocal sound at home!.

Does anyone kno where in London I can rent a vocal booth or small decent sounding room for a resonable price 4 to 8 hours?

cheers
