I began by posting this on Stephen Pauls forum, but as it seem to be heading in this direction I thought I'd garnish some comments...

Although I have noticed distortion in the low end as well?

Im trying to learn how to record hip hop vocals. Im new at this so can someone please help me.

Hi

hi.

i'm a little stuck in the way i mix vocals (r&b and pop).

i record the main voice plus the harmonic 2nd and 3rd voice.
the main voice i pan middle at 0dB
the 2nd voice i pan -30 at -7dB
the 3rd voice i pan +30 at -7dB
now i compress all that and put some effect on it (reverb or delay)...

Hi guys, this is my first post here...

I've read the posts from Doublehelix about possible acoustic treatments for his studio,and all the answers from those guys as Nightfly,Cedar Flat Fats(...).I've also read most of the links provided...
I was very interested by all these informations which should be useful for myself too!

Does anyone know exactly what processing is happening on Nickleback's vocals. Eg. the overall eq - compression etc. How are they getting such a rich megaphone sound?( little bit of an oxy-moron ) Are they using specific plugins from Pro Tools? Thanks for any input

I've heard of a number producers on and offline who are recording vocals without adding compression until >after< the A/D conversion.

OKay, anyone that disses me for liking the Andrew WK "I Get Wet" record can lick my prostrate. That being said, what kind of vocal effect is used to achieve this sound? Specifically. I get close results with a harmonizer (Micro Pitch Shift on the H3000) and 6 voice choirs (480L with an effect car. Anyone? Mike Shipley mixed his ass off on this record.

After recording some vocals and applying some compression, how do you guys fit the vocals in the mix? I'm a newbie at mixing...so I'd like to know how the pros do it.

A better question to ask would be after recording some vocals - [just the lead vocals], what type of processing do you do on it?
