vocal processing

Hey guys I'm sure you've heard of Boyce Avenue on youtube. They became famous through youtube and over the years they have made some major improvement in their videos and sound quality. I was just wondering because he uses the same mic in earlier videos as the later ones so that is not it...

Hey guys I just cut this cover of Yesterday by the Beatles. I wanted to know what you guys think of it? Any ways to improve? Are the vocals sitting right? Is the eq on the vox good? the amount of reverb? on the whole is it sounding good?

Anyone out there advise the best way to make a hole for Female vocals in a mix with Guitars, and Piano being the other main mid range instruments that will clash. What is the best way of doing this and if cutting on the other instruments, what frequency and by how much.. Cheers

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...

Fabfilters recently came out with a new desser -Pro-DS. I have their Pro bundle (Compressor, Limters, EQ, Gate) and they are my goto plugins for precision control. (I tend to use the UAD plugins for color.) I am mixing two songs (The Story and Someday Soon) with a new soprano. She's not...

I've been listening and thinking to the sound of pop vocals these last few years. Anyone else with me? I will be producing pop songs this next year in case you are wondering what I mean. I've also been thinking about my room(s) and particularly listening to the sound of the vocals I get, then...

So I bought a 200 dollar mic, forgot the brand at the moment and an interface which I forgot too. It's something 8 something fx. But when I'm not recording, I can hear the voice through the speakers and it sounds amazing clear and everything but when I record or have the computer set up to...

I did some searching around and didn't seem to find a specific post on this, or if there is, I have found it impossible to find. Anyways, I have just spent a fortune working on a new studio. I am as much as a newbie as I can get. However, being in the studio many times with my previous band...

Hi there, my friend and I want to begin recording at home. We will be recording/using two guitar parts and two vocal parts (lead and backing vocals). We originally decided to record everything separately as this would be much cheaper however we have no decided it would be much easier and worth...

Hello People, I've been asked to remove a vocal from a backing track. All I can do is remove a big chunk of the frequency spectrum where the vocal sits but obviously this is going to dramatically effect the instrumentation in the backing track. I've heard about these 'Vocal Removing' VSTs. My...

Hey all, I have been having a problem getting rid of this vocal latency issue in PT 9. It sounds like there is a chorus effect on it or that the voice is being doubled when I am just arm it for recording. I don't ever remember having this problem before PT 9 but I may just not have noticed. It...

It's not convenient to re-record this particular set of vocals, and I want to give the it a try with them sounding like a phone. Just looking for a *starting point.* I understand everything above 3000 and below 300 is apparently supposed to go, but what other attributes might one add to the...
