vocal recording

Description

Vocal recording, in essence, is capturing the voice of the artist in the most effective and efficient way so that the play-back will be as true sounding to the original performance as possible. For most music producers, vocal recording is probably the most challenging part of the music production process.

Need advice for recording rock vocals

Submitted by boydwgrossii on Fri, 08/19/2022 - 22:09

Greetings all,

I got an Apollo Twin MKII Solo (all stock plugins) running into a Shure SM7B with a Trace Audio mod (+25dB clean boost) and my mic is inside a Kaotica 7B since I can't really treat this place well. I can do that after we buy a house but for here, I need to occupy as little space as possible.

How to get a clean/clear vocal recording?

Hey guys, I’m just gonna lay out my situation here... So I just picked up the AKG C414 XLII for recording some vocals at home. I run directly into a Scarlett 18i20 interface. Pretty unexperienced with most technical stuff.

Oftentimes vocals are looked upon as routine in the recording realm. As a result, I feel the effort one puts into details like the choice of the right mic, pre-amp, etc is minimal. But from what I've experienced, vocal recording is an area of huge possibilities. Thoughts?
Here is a blog that discusses this point:

High frequency resonnance on vocal recording

Submitted by theo on Sun, 08/02/2020 - 03:26

Hi guys,
I recorded vocals lately, and cannot get rid of aggressive high frequencies that weren't there before...
You can hear the main nasty frequency around 3-4Khz and some other ones from1 to 3 kHZ ( audio: Creep_VXREC_WA87ChorusAnnecy 1&2 )
I recorded the same vocals 1 month ago in another flat, and it was fine ( see audio "Creep_VXREC_WA87ChorusDundee").
