Hi. I'm looking for another darker mic that has a less harsh top end to my other mics for recording vocals:-

RODE NT1a
Studio Projects B1
MXL V67g
T.Bone RM700(ribbon)

What would you recommend within this budget?

Hey Guys,

Can you let me know what you think of the quality of this vocal recording? Any suggestions as to what might make the vocal sound better (EQ or otherwise)?

It was not recorded in a booth, and as such does not have a 100% focused sound, so I'm not looking for comments regarding that. Looking more for your thoughts on clarity and tonal balance...

Hey everyone,

I'm having some problems regarding recording vocals, they are:

-Vocals sound on-pitch/in tune with music heard through headphones (Sennheiser HD280 Pro Closed-Backs), but when played back through speakers, they are noticably (in my opinion) out of tune during some parts.

Here's the situation. I recorded a VoIP call of mine, and instead of using the wave-out for the capture, I captured a mono direct mic feed. As a result, I'm faced the following issues:

1) Motherboard interference (integrated soundcard)
2) Barely audible second person. (audio was captured from headphones)
3) TOO audible "ME".

what do you think is the bet way to get a dirty vocal sound like some of the early 60's rock bands. Vintage mics? Any suggestions. I really like the sound of the vocals from this one band from seattle called the sonics. Check it out and let me know if you have any ideas?

Hi

I'm trying to find a vocal mic for my own voice that has a bit of bite without sounding too cheap. My voice is smoothish (hear it at http://www.mooremusic.comau if you want)

Im currently using either
1 a RODE K2 which I find gives a 'too smooth' 'closed in' type of sound with no openness

Hey All,

On my Tascam 2488mk2 it has a range of Vocal Effects, I'm new to them and I would like some more detail on what they mean or do.

Compression?
De-Esser?
Exciter?

I am extremely new to recording (like very, very new) and don't know much about it. I generally understand mixing terms and such, however, so I'm hoping you guys will be able to help me.

Hello everyone,

I've lurked here from time to time reading some great advice on recording acoustic music. I've been thinking about getting some of my own equipment for a while, and the need is finally coming upon me.
