Im using a Rhode NT1a into 002 rack for female vocalist with
powerful voice .
Opinions on whether a preamp would be worth using and why,
which models are suited.
In the past we have used Shure 57 mics with quite good results,
but are looking for better sounding tracks.

Hello,

Im farley new to the music thing. Im trying to learn as much as I can.

My question/problem I have is Im using a cheap o CAD USB Mic to record directly into Logic.

Problem: Vocals are way too loud they hit the clip point even if i lower the volume slider on the track I'm recording on to lets say -20db it still clips.

I tend to record 3 vocals track for every piece of the song like hook, verse etc.. Then I pan one to the left, one to the right and leave one vocal in the center. I add the same eq, reverb and delay to all of them.
I heard you can record with only one vocal but if so how do u get it to sound nice and warm like if I used 3 vocals.

Thank You For Your Time

I consider myself fairly new to recording even though I have released several successful mixtape projects with my hip hop label. I am running digi 002 still on 7.1, Wavesplatinum, ssl 4000 plugs. My mic preamp is the Universal Audio LA-610 my mic is an AKG C414.

I am mixing 8 vocals and need to add a bit of reverb for room ambiance. Is there an sonic difference between mixing the vocals to a submaster and then applying the reverb, or applying the reverb to each vocal individually and then mixing them down?

Thanks for any thoughts...

Basically every time I attempt to record on Cubase both my beat and my vocals record on one track, so basically as I record Cubase record both my vocals and instrumental at the same time which leaves me with a instrumental as one track, and vocals and instrumental as anouther track, something is wrong here the vocals should be recoreded on their own seprate from the instrumental.

Hello!

Hello,

I'm recording with Sonar and I'm using Waves L2 compressor for my vocals. I really like the sound I'm getting, except. I would like to be able to record at a little hotter level without having to worry about clipping. Since I don't have an outboard compressor I have to really dial in my input level so I can record at a decent level, and not clip.

if i was to choose a small hand full of decent vocal microphones for my new home project studio which ones should i get? under $500 is preferred. currently looking into the mxl v89 and the AKG 200.

i've recently understood that even a hot rodded vintage Neumann won't sound as good on say a certain female vocal than an mxl mic might. i understand it depends on so much.
