Is it acceptable to bounce a song without the vocals, then open a new session and recording and mix the vocals along side the 2 track mix?

Hi All,
Ok I have realised from reading many threads that the sound of a mic is all a personal taste, but still I would appreciate some advice on the following before I shell out £££'s on a mic.

Which TYPE of mic is generally best for home studio VOCAL recording (its a quite room):

I'm in the market for a used (ebay) recording condenser mic under $200 specifically for male vocals. I'm using http://www.studioau… to figure out which mic might be a good fit for me because none of the stores in my area have floor mics to test.

Hi Forum,

at first: thank you for your great forum and all the highly interesting and good information. i'm a regular reader and today i have a question on my own.

Hello everyone,

Hello everyone,

I just started recording R&B vovals using a Digi 003 and a AKG 200 mic. I like how the vocals sound but wondered if any one had any suggestions going forward as to artisit position to the mic, equing in the mix, reverb etc, etc...i know, a real newb question..forgive me..lol

I really like the vocals in Avenged Sevenfold. I would like to get that nice edgy smokers voice in some of my recordings. Is this just a smokers voice or do they use a lot of compression. I watched some of their clips on youtube and noticed that his voice in the video didn't sound as thick as it does in the recordings. Its like there somekind plugin that adds harmonics or something.

I'm using an AT-2020 mic for vocals, and a Behringer AUTOCOM PRO MDX 1400, should i be using the Behringer or is there somthin else i can use to get the vocals clear and remove the hissing sounds from the microphone. someone recommended the ART tube preamp, but i dont want to buy the wrong piece. .
