My goal is to record acoustic guitar and vocals at the best quality and then if i want to add some drum tracks i can just go to a commerical studio and add on to it after. Then once it's done i can get it sent for mastering. That would save a lot of money in the longrun.

Once a week I do the live sound for a jazz cabaret. I previously did not have access to any compressors, and it has been a tad bit of a headache dealing with dymanics between the four singers.

How do I get my voice to sound like the singer from this song:

When I mix, I tend to turn the vocals down because I'm afraid that the vocals will overshadow the sound and I want people to hear the beat clear. THen people say the vocals arent loud enough, turn them up and use reverb. THen people say the vocals are too loud. Help lol

So my band and i finished laying down our drums, guitar, and bass tracks so then we started to record vocals for our song. Once we recorded, using a mxl 990 (we also have an SM58), we tried to mix everything to make the vocals fit in nicely. It still felt to me like the vocals sounded fake in a way, like the listener could tell that we recorded the vocals separately.

Hello I am in the process of editing the vocals for a new mix I'm making and I'm curious about 2 things so I figured I would ask here, i'm looking for detailed answers from people with experience and knowledge and I'm thankful to anyone who can help. Here are the 2 things I am confused about.

1: Compressing Vocals (Specifically attack/release times)

I'm trying to figure out what it's called, and how it's achieved, but it's hard to describe or give an example as I dont usually listen to this style of music but I may be able to find one if all else fails.

It's usually used in rap and hip hop on vocals and it makes them sound all de-tuned wierd and synthed. Anyone?

Ok... 10 people standing around a mic... gang vocals for backup in a song... best mic? ideas?

Hi everyone. I record my vocals using Cubase on karaoke tracks. What i do is i import the karaoke track track in it and insert another audio track, to record vocals. After the vocals are recorded. I just play both the tracks simaltaneously, this is where the problem arises, the vocals are a bit fast than the actual karaoke track, making it way out of sync.

So, one of the most frequent things people say about my singing voice is that I sound "nasal." Listening to some of my past recordings, I'm starting to see that I do tend to sound sort of nasally; sometimes it sounds like I'm pinching my nose closed when I sing.
