Hi gang,

Yeah I just got fed up with too many youtube videos of weak signers in my feed.
What I mean is good pitch be not pushing the notes and not even opening the mouth correctly and sounding like falseto all the time ...
Is it me who is out of touch or is it just not how to properly sing..
I mean with no PA they could not even sing to a fire

Hi, I am trying to have a hook to a song sound crowd-like, but it is out of my vocal range, and Im guessing it will also be out of the vocal range of friends who I'll recruit to record it with me. It is like a screaming/chant, with a pretty high note at the end.

A guy on a guitar forum threw out a statement that "all pro singers live with their own guy on the board" and "all pro singers in pro studios use" pitch control devices now.

As a pro singer for much of my life that makes me sad if true.

Is it?

Just wondering if this a common practice at all?

This one seemed not to get posted - hope its not still being moderated - apologies if so.
Hi all

I would like to record a bass singer, there will be a piano. I wanted to record live. I have only 1 microphone currently which is a Audio Tech 33a. I can buy 2 cheap condenser mics to complete the setup, these will all go into my little mixing desk which has 48v PP.

So how do you find a singers frequency range and purchase/match a mic to their voice. For example I'm a lyric tenor, I have a lot of upper partials. Also, I have a lot of reverberation because of my classical training. What do I look for in a mic and is there a way to try before I buy?

Can anyone tell me how to make the most of studio time?

I mean, if there are any producers out there reading this, what is it that bugs them about singers? Obviously I need to come in knowing the songs inside out, but is there anything else I can do to make it seamless? What would you guys appreciate?

So my band played a show the other night, and afterwards the FOH came to my singer and told him he should use some mic that works well with loud singers (?)

I didn't hear this aside but my singer said all he remembered was it goes for about $180...

I call BS, but if anyone has an idea of this mic let me know!

Thanks!

What recommendation does anyone have for singers' ear protection during weekly rehearsals and practices?
