Hi,

I have looked through several topics in this forum and found many helpful tips, suggestions and guidelines. So far I have followed some basic steps but I am afraid I need a little guidance from experienced or knowledgeable users.

yo all.i am new here and i am coming with a problem.

i downloaded a lot of akapellas and i noticed that ALL vocals are distorted in the hifieldfreq.i said i need a tube preamp since i have a Neumann u87ai and AKG solidtube i said that the preamp is actually bad.i bought SPL GAINSTATION 1 a solidstate and tube preamp..the Neumann sounds a lot better in this but again..too clean.

OK, here is my situation...I am running sound at a 500-600 capacity club in my area and this is my first experience in actually building and installing a setup in a venue. I have worked and assisted before in much larger venues with their house systems but never have I been solely responsible for setting up, installing, purchasing, maintaining, and running the whole thing.

I am about to record a male vocalist who has the same tone, range and style as the main singer of the Gypsy kings.
I would like to know of a good mic in the $400. - $500 range. I will use UA 610 solo as my pre.
Merci a bunch!

Ok,

I have an Mbox, RODE Nt1a mic, and i use pro tools.

I know it's basic, but i dont know any better, so if someone could teach me of the studio way, i would very much appreciate it.

I just want to get the best sound from my vocal possible.

Hello all. First post and I'm already asking for help!

I recorded an original today and am pretty happy with the result. However, I think the vocal could sound better (yes, I know a better vocalist would help greatly there ).

Lately ive been finding whenever I have a show my mouth gets completely dry leaving my vocals not quite up to par. I usually do whatever I can to maintain my voice and usually in practice my voice is fine. I'm starting to think maybe its nerves of playing a show although I'm not that nervous. Is there any suggestions that might helps this problem?

ok so I'm fairly new to recording and I thought i would get peoples opinions on an awesome reverb plugin for vocals.

I've no experience with live vocal effects. I have a very soft voice and have gotten it to a satisfactory sound in recording with a doubling effect. I'm wondering what the best way is to do that live? I've done some searching and found:

Hey everyone!

I'm not sure if audibility is a word...but it is sort of what I'm looking for. We've just purchased two new Sennheiser 135G2 wireless handhelds for our praise and worship team. In addition, the rest of the team are using a sort of SM58 type microphone.
