HI EVERYONE,

I am not satisfied with vocal tracking, it seems that I sing in a box and the voice seems as muffled. So if someone can refer me to a solution it would be great because this stiff turn me crazy.

Can someone help solve this please?

I want to track vocals with reverb for the vocal headphones to help with pitching and
inspiration .

Hi, I'm a singer/songwriter recording my first demo at college and I'm getting some conflicting advice. I'm only recording acoustic guitar and vocal and wondered how best to do this, live with no headphone mix, to a click track and add drums later or should I still overdub? any advice welcome and much needed, cheers, TC

Hi,

I am wondering about the RMS and peaks levels I should be hitting when recording vocals. I've seemed to gather from different sources that I should be anywhere around -24 to -18 RMS with peaks no more than -10. I would just like to hear other people confirm or reject this idea. Once the track has been recorded into Logic, I can make any other level changes ITB.

My wife and i are recording some of our songs, we have tracked most
of the instruments,and this weekend we will do vocals.
The hotel we stay in has some function rooms and we are
going to use one of them that has about a 15 ft ceiling and and some
concaved wall panels.
I am gonna try the NT1a and also use our NT5 s on either side to give me

What is the logistical difference between side-chaining a compressor through an equalizer to compress only certain frequencies versus just applying a multiband compressor affecting the same frequencies? (for instance when tracking vocals)

This question arose from Dallan Beck's book The Musician's Guide to Recording Vocals

Hi,

Has anyone had any experience with this?

When I try going it instead of giving a fuller sound it just kinda sounds like a chorus effect or like a really bad toilet sounding reverb, not like one full voice as on some tunes Ive heard that have double tracked their vocals.

Ive tried dropping the volume on the second track but it doesnt seem to quite to the trick.

I'm a professional musician, not an enginner, so maybe I'm missing something. I've been tracking vocals for a singer through a pretty good signal chain of Mojave Audio Mic/Focusrite ISA220/G5/Digital Performer.

anyone have any advice or helpful tips on tracking metal vocalists?
