Ok. I'm fairfly new to recording. Obviously I already know about angling, vocal presecnce, water, the good preamps I need, and eliminating pop and rumble. I'm using either an Electro-Voice Large Diaphragm condenser, or a Shure SM57 to record vocals.

What would you guys recommend to do as far as recording raspy, lemmy-like vocals?

when recording a singer for a R&B song, how should it be layered? (ie. dubs, back ups, adlibs, etc.. ) i typically just record hip hop vocals but now I'm wanting to move on to R&B songs, i just want to be able to do it right.

We are trying to record vocals and would like them to sound like: kill'em all - AJFA, Killing is my Business - Rust in peace.

I am mostly interested in techniques, and how to make vocals sit in the mix, some typical approaches for this style etc. I know that they probably doubled them, used some delay, reverb, possibly some flanger phaser chorus... who knows... So please help.

I've read lots of articles, and I've been recording vocals a little bit, on and off for a year or two now, but I've just been winging it. This is one aspect that is still confusing to me.

My set up: Cubase LE; PreSonus Firebox, Shure sm57 or sm58.

I'm a piano teacher and composer and am exploring the options of investing in some technology to record both my own compositions and my piano lessons.

I've got my eye on a super bit of mixing kit but am completely stumped as to the best way of setting up mics so that they pick up both the piano and myself and the student's voices. I don't even know which mics would be the best.

I'm brand new to this, and have just bought a PreSonus 1394 Preamp, which I control via a window on my computer. So far, when I plugin my mic to try vocal recordings, it's recording one-sided... as in, right headphone records from the right mic input, left from the left. I'm sure I don't have to have two mics to get a stereo recording, right? :)

Hi, i'm new to the forums but i've been having some trouble and i'm hoping someone here can help me out. i've been trying to record vocals in Ableton live (which i'm still a newbie to) over a beat which i previously created using Reason. I'm using a Tascam us-122 which my microphone is plugged into.

hey, can somebody give me some tips for recording vocals. We're recording into a firebox so the quality is much better than anything I've ever used so I'm a bit overwhelmed. Our vocal recordings are too raw sounding and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to maybe dampen them a bit.

Is it acceptable to bounce a song without the vocals, then open a new session and recording and mix the vocals along side the 2 track mix?

Hi everyone, i'm looking for a vocal-recording software that has customizing options with studio quality...Meaning, i'd be able to change the way my voice sounds, make it sound better. Thanks!
