There is some vocal bleed that can be heard during the mandolin solo.

In this part of the song, there are bass, and guitar microphones active. The vocalist was quietly mouthing the words too keep place in the song. (Normally they don't do a solo, but wanted to put one on the recording.) The solo was recorded later.

I am under a budget, and looking for a mic in the $600-1000 range that will do best for my vocal needs. I sing mostly Jazz, and intimate stuff, I need something that has a warm texture, but clear sound, a mic that will produce the sound in my voice that will surround the listener and reel them in... so, it needs to be very rounded and not too colored... any suggestions?

Anyone have any tips on recording a large vocal "crowd shout"? For example, the tail of the choruses on Atreyu's "Falling Down" from the album Lead Saild Paper Anchor, or the beginning of "Lay Your Hands On Me" by Bon Jovi? I am trying to make it sound like a very unison, very tight "yell" and would like to avoid recording twenty five tracks of the same line.

My recent signal path for vocal recording is:

RODE NT-1A --> Grace Design m101 --> MOTU 828mkII --> PC Sonar

So you can see,
without any compressor.
Actually, some clipping occurs during tracking, but not always.
I will decrease the gain in m101 to prevent clipping
(it will squeeze the dynamic range, right?)

Ive been recoring for about a year now, I feel I'm pretty good at it but there is one big issue i can not figure out. When i record vocals i find it hard to adjust volumes to keep them equal though out the whole song, is there a way to limit the vocals to keep the volume from varying? I can adjust them manually after ward, but its never perfect.

In the Lil Wayne song "lollipop" there is some vocal modulation FX that sounds like very quick pitch shifting that I want to achieve and would love if anyone would give me some tips.

heres some people doing an interested cover of the song and they nail the vocal sound I am trying to get quite well:

What kind of treatment did Jimi use on "Little Miss Lover" from Axis Bold as Love. (Track 12)

I'm looking for a good and cheap vocal mic. It will be used on all kinds of vocals, all from the highest pithed female vocals to deepest male vocals and metal growling and screams.

I don't have a big budget as I am a poor student ;) but I would rather prefer that you'd recommend a little expensive mic over a crappy one :) Just the best for the money.

thanks in advace.

Hi. Just want to ask :

What effects do musicians such as Maynard James Keenan (TOOL) and singers like Chino Moreno (Deftones) and other bands with vocalists similar to these mentioned use.

Do these guys use effects like a guitar has pedals and effects applied to it.

What are the effects these guys use. or what are the effects do you use >

i've read in many forums that WavesL?-Maximizer is probably the most user friendly compressor/squasher/limiter for vocals

The L1 Maximizer is fairly cheap right now, whereas the L3 and whatever it's sequel is are not

has anyone used these to see if theres really much difference? the website descriptions have been rather unhelpful
