doubling vocal help

Forums

I've always been into that sound of vocals that have been doubled. My problem is when my vocals are summed to mono (which most "major label" productions with this technique sound like they are, and most new songs that are popular seem to have done) they sound thin and out of phase. Am i doing something wrong, do they actually need to be panned out more than it seems?

Boutique vs. Mainstay? ~$1K vocal mic?

Forums

So here's my quandary:

I'm feeding a MOTU Traveller (haha, yes, MOTU is something funny these days, but it serves my needs well) with a twinpack of Eurekas and an ISA220, but since my best mic is a C4000b, I think it's time to add a nice mic to the closet. I need it to excel on vocals (male and female) as well as acoustic guitar.

First time post: vocal recording trouble

Forums

Hi. This is my first time posting here. I'm sort of glad to have found this forum because it deals with the exact subject I've been having ongoing difficulties with for quite some time: recording vocals. It takes me a long time, because I can never get it to sound right, no matter how much I try. I always get a very mid-rangey sound, with a lack of presence.
