Alright, I've finally gotten this all together.

Hey guys, what's up. Just found out about this forum, and I think it's a great idea :). I'm an amateur audio engineer, and pro musician, and I am facing a little trouble with my vocals mix.
The problem is that after I apply reverb, the vocal lines are hard to understand (unless you read the lyrics that is :) ).

Finished Thread.

I was just wondering if you guys could help me with this. I really like the effect used in the cover song "Metal" by Nine Inch Nails. I'm thinking it's a reverse delay effect on his audible breathing/cymbals, possibly? It starts building at 2:05 and builds to climax at 2:10 right before he sings the next line. It also happens at 2:23-2:30 over his voice. Let me know what you guys think it is.

Hi

I'm recording a singer with a beautiful low silky voice which sounds great on NS10s, sounds great on Mackie HR824s. There's no acrobatics or breathy performance expression, it's quite bluesy and understated.

Which would be a good Multi-Channel (2+) Mic preamp under $1000 for
Vocals (Rock, Pop,RnB,) and Drums.
Ive heard about the Octane, Octopre, Focusrite TwinTrack Pro. ANy advice.
Will be using it with AKG C214's, MXL2006, Shure SM81, 57, Beta52.
HELP!

Hi guys, I'm trying to record pop/rock/acoustic vocals and am looking for a condensor mic for around 100$ or lower. Which would produce a nice clean pop sound?

I was thinking about the AT2020, or maybe CAD Mic GXL2200 but also maybe the AKG Perception120?

I have reasonable luck creating a choir with my own voice on multiple vocal tracks with a little help from Voice Live by TC Helicon's octave doubler to crank up my voice up or down an octave in some parts.

I've been experimenting with changing the eq, adding vibrato, changing the pitch a couple of cents, and adding chorus and flanging effects to give each voice some variation.

I have never done anything, as far as music studios are concerned, with professional recording stuff. Sometimes I'll mess around with Sony Acid Music Studio software, but that is all. I really want to set up a (with professional equipment) Vocal Recording area. I was going to get a kit called RODE TO RECORDING SYSTEM Recording Package but I would rather handpick my own equipment.

We're going to start gigging soon and I want to have as much control over my vocal sound as possible. Whenever I have gigged in my old bands I've just put up with whatever the soundguy did at the time, but after running my voice through the tube preamp, and having control of the effects through a zoom G9.2tt, I am keen to build my sound on a few channels.
