I'm a piano teacher and composer and am exploring the options of investing in some technology to record both my own compositions and my piano lessons.

I've got my eye on a super bit of mixing kit but am completely stumped as to the best way of setting up mics so that they pick up both the piano and myself and the student's voices. I don't even know which mics would be the best.

what do u guys think about ksm32 for highly professional vocals? i am planning buy a mic so i can start do some recordings to release but i am wondering if the ksm32 is the right way to go. I'm on a budget as well

Well, I record a lot of speed punk music (think old DRI, RKL, Suicidal Tendencies, etc...), and I've just about had it with my Audix OM5. I just can't get a natural sound out of it: it isn't bright enough; I have to EQ so much it just sounds unnatural by the time I get it to the point where the vocals are clean and cutting.

Ok this is my situation. I am currently recording with Sonar 7, but I want to upgrade later on to Pro Tools as I learn how to use it. Pro Tools only works with m-powerd interfaces. So I dont want to watem oney to get 2 interfaces when I switch. I got a budget limit for only $400.

I'm brand new to this, and have just bought a PreSonus 1394 Preamp, which I control via a window on my computer. So far, when I plugin my mic to try vocal recordings, it's recording one-sided... as in, right headphone records from the right mic input, left from the left. I'm sure I don't have to have two mics to get a stereo recording, right? :)

We are a not for profit spiritual organization and cannot offered to go for professional mastering. We record strictly male vocals in a semi-studio setup (sound proof & acoustic treated). We have only one speaker and we don't even add music. We are able to record fairly well.

Hi, i'm new to the forums but i've been having some trouble and i'm hoping someone here can help me out. i've been trying to record vocals in Ableton live (which i'm still a newbie to) over a beat which i previously created using Reason. I'm using a Tascam us-122 which my microphone is plugged into.

hey, can somebody give me some tips for recording vocals. We're recording into a firebox so the quality is much better than anything I've ever used so I'm a bit overwhelmed. Our vocal recordings are too raw sounding and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to maybe dampen them a bit.

Hi, i'm new to the forums and i have a question.
Maybe this topic had been run over again and again but i cant find the answer..

So, in a professional song.. the vocals sound up front like they are right in your face.. but when i record, the vocals sound like they are embedded with the beat in the background.

Hello, I am recording a song that's has the attitude of Foo Fighters' songs, sort of. The singer has a strong voice but it's 100% clean. There is no growl in his performance. We want to double or triple the main melody to make his vocals sound thicker. Is there any effect that can be added to the vocals to enhance the rock attitude? How should I pan these tracks?

thank you guys!
