I've been having a horrible problem lately with the vocals I've been recording. It sounds like there is an extremely narrow 10+ dB peak at around 5kHz on every vocal I record. This absolutely destroys all sibilance, especially s, t, and d sounds. In fact, it's so pronouced that I can even hear a harsh whistle when someone takes a breath.

I'm recording some podcasts using Boehringer C1 mic and UB802 mixer with Audacity software.

I'm getting a very quiet vocal sound even with gain up and a lot of noise. Noise reduction gives me a very tinny effect almost immediately.

What can I do to either suppress the noise, or get more vocal sound?

Hi, I'm a sort of Dylanesque singer/songwriter that is recording at home & I am looking for a decent vocal mic for under $250. Considering a moded Oktava 319 - a ADK-A51 or a MXL v67i. Or wait to find a lucky deal ebay deal on a RODE .

Hi

Hi

I record only my own vocals, no instruments. I'm a baritone, with harshness right at about 2k, singing mostly pop and easier-listening music. What I want to achieve is to be able to capture/produce the smooth, high-frequency air/sheen. I don't have the resources locally to demo recording equipment, so it's hit-and-miss, and so far, I've missed.

Hello,
I have recently been recording some demos, and I am happy with my results thus far; however, my vocals don't seem as full as the other intstruments recorded. Now, most of the intruments (guitar, keys, bass, etc.) have been recorded using multiple mics and tracks. My questions are:

anyone that records bands that have a singer who screams a lot . do you use any plugins for the screams? cause i am about to record my first band who actually screams . any tips?

Hi, i am recording a couple demos for my band and so far everything sounds great but when we started tracking some vocals it sounds like the vocals are completely isolated from the recording. it sounds like its a different song or is being sung from a different room.
i am using
and MXL 990 condenser mic through an MBOX2.

any quick advice to get a decent sound?

hey everyone! well,i'm new to the site and didn't know where to find what i am lookin' for. I'll be greatful if you reply my post and help me with my decision on what to buy.
