Like most engineers, I strive to eliminate as many variables in the recording process as possible. A large choral group I record often includes high volume gospel tunes. More often than not, there's one or more male or female soloists belting out the lyric over the top of the 120 voice group. Add to this a driving drum and bass line, piano, guitar, etc.. You get the picture.

I have tried and tried again and tried a bit more and then i tried again but I can't seem to make any good backing vocals. I searched the internet but there is not very much information about it.. seems like a secret that you either know about or don't. :)

Testing an AT3035 thru VTB-1 Studio Projects Preamp,
directly to a Pro Tools HD rig, send signal to headphones mix,
and a strange thing is happening:

What effects is the singer from The Killers using on their songs? Thanks.

Hey just want to know how can I fully make my vocals sound like a professional song for Cool Edit Pro. What is the best settings to make it sound like or almost a pro, your song? Thanks in advance..

hey i was just woundering if some one could tell me how to level out the volume of my vocals in cool edit 2.0 and have them the same volume threw out the whole song..holla at me..peace

Hi,
I record on a Korg D8 digital machine, I have had some quite good results but one thing that people always comment on is that the vocals never quite punch through enough or sound a little foggy if that makes sense. My stuff is rock based though so not too worried but there are some songs I would like to have cleaner vox.

which of these mics do you think is the most convenient for vocals
(or the best one in general) ?

studio projects b1
cad m179
Shure sm 58

Our recordings sound great IMO for what were using, but there missing some vocals. We have a guy thats capable of singing decent for the time being, but when i record him it makes him sound worse than he is, so. For one its partly the mic for sure. I need some help on

id like to record a song with my mic, for my girlfriend, but i need to get the music from a mp3 without the original singers voice...

should i get audicion? acid? cubase? edit pro?

do you have any tutorial that i could see how to do this?
thanks alot
