hey everyone. really wanna know what you all think of this list and which mic OVERALL excels for vocals. the mic needs to be ordered by sunday.

the price of the mic needs to stay under $600, unless that good.. but i can't touch 1000 right now b/c i need to get the new pre.

this is whats on my mind,

I am recording some of my songs on a friend's computer, and my vocals seem to overpower the other instruments just as I put them loud enough to be heard. The voice sounds to bassy, not clear enough. I'm not sure what it is, but it sounds as if the vocals aren't part of the song, but a loud, unpretty, Karaoke performance.

I have been doing some recording for a rap duo in Pro Tools and have some questions about proper panning techniques..

The vocals currently sound pretty decent, but I feel they can be much better and I think that it's in the panning or compression..

I have a very interesting and perplexing mix issue that I'm hoping one the seen-it-all engineers here can offer a little insight towards.

Anybody know of a db-matching plugin ? It would really make my life easier to have something that makes everything peak at the same level, as opposed to "grading on a curve" like normalization.

Ideas?

This is my first post so i wanted to say hey to everybody. Anyway here's my question:

I was wondering how to route signal for this problem:
A vocalist wants to hear reverb whilst singing, but I don’t want to hear it and I don’t want it on “tape”.
And...

Hi all,

Any suggestions as to the best way to Mix Acoustic Guitar-Bongo(1 bongo) and a single vocal track.
Panning etc. .
Thanks,

I am still a beginner with Pro Tools and recording in general. I have an Mbox, and have make some decent recordings, but I just picked up a PreSonus TubePre and now I'm having a very tough time getting my vocals to sound right. : (
