Does any one know what kind of effects they use for the backup vocals in songs such as Photograph by Def Leppard or any of those 80's songs?

My Vocal chain is a Audio-Technica 3035 into a Grace Design 101 into a Yamaha MG10/2 with a Samson C.com16 compressor in the line imput. If I turn my pre-amp down I can't hear my vocals in the headphones when recording. I really not sure how to turn down the incoming volume and still get a strong sound in. Im at the point of either getting a headphone amp or another mixer.

Sort-of-quick question...

I've been recording some mixtape cuts for a local rap group...
And basically they take instrumentals off of vinyl, or from mp3 format, and they freestyle over top of it.

I know its not easy to get a great sound off of this since i have no control of the instruments seperately... the instrumental is just in stereo L-R form.

why don't you record a working or scratch vocal, then record the entire vocal in chunks. Say for instance the scream occurs at the end of second chorus.

Hi,

I have nuendo with m-audio preamp to record vocals, but don't know how to setup the session to lay the vocals down, have no clue what to do next. I have the music track in place now I need to setup for the audio can you help me ?

Thanks

Trying to get a good process down for my current environment. Vocals are good, signal wise, ambience limited to conditions. My booth is my laundry room adjacent to the garage for seperation which is fine. The booth is lined with a comdination of foam, blankets and homemade baffles. Basically a DEAD booth. I've played with mic placements and such and have a very good core vocal.

Was browsing and found this link,,

incase any interest

can anyone tell me which is the best reverb plugin for vocals...i have been using TC native reverb mostly

Has anyone used the tonelab for vocals and with an acustic guitar.
I have a Tascam tape recorder and a mixer. The sound sounds nice
and the reverb is O.K.
Help

I've got a band that I'm recording and the vocalist wants to use a hand held mic to record his vocal tracks. I've never recorded a singer holding a mic. Is there a certain mic that I can use for this application? I was thinking an SM58 with one of those poofy things on it to control the plosives and sibilance.
