Hello, I have a couple questions about Pro Tools 7.0, I recently bought a new Mbox 2 and also purchased the ilok usb plugins. Im totally new with Pro Tools. Ive never really had any experience with eq plugins and dynamics. Im trying to get a really good clean tight sound on the vocals and a solid sound out of the instruments I'm recording.

Hey Ro'ers, I have been producing hip hop music for the past year and I was wondering what is the best way to attempt to get the vocals to sit in the mix like a commercial Cd? I ask because I know that this is one of the most important parts of the mixing process.

Whats youre opinion on a comp for acoustic guitar/vocals at about the 2g range?

hey guys... how about if two mics are used to record a vocals... like mics of two different types... if you are like not in budget... suppose Sm58 for a bit body and low... and another condenser for much clearer response and then blend the vocals in together... how would that go... can anyone... wanna talk more abt this

I was wondering how much of an upgrade the Shure SM7 is over the SM-57/SM58?

I'm also looking at the Electro-Voice RE-20 and the Sennheiser MD 421.

Any help would be appreciated. Right now I use a Audio-Technica AT-3035...which I like. However, I want a good dynamic so I have some variety.

Hey, i'm a guitarist as those who read my threads know and i use a Shure SM57. I'm looking at picking up another mic to place as a far away mic when i record my guitar parts.

As a result, i will more than likely be tracking vocals with an SM57 becuase i record vocals once in a blue moon as the majority of my work is instrumental.

Could someone give me some tips on doubling vocals for affect. I'm recording a male trio and normally in gospel music you would record each line three times: one main vocal and two "stacks". However, each line is not right on with the previous in time and/or pitch (I know a little off is good but this is really throwing the entire thing off).

I'm working on a show that goes up in three weeks. It's my second musical, though I've designed/run other shows at school, and I'm having difficulty mixing the wireless mic's well. It just sounds really hollow, and it's peaking very easily with the trim pretty far down and the fader at about half volume.

Hey all, I've got a question about my vocals. They sound detached somehow. I'm pretty sure it's not my equipment. I'm using an Audio-Technica AT4040 condenser mic w/ shockmount, M-Audio firewire 410 interface, and Cubase SE for recording software. Is it my plugins? The reverb in the SE version sucks, as does the delay. The dynamics package is fine (compression, noise gate, limiter).

I just switched from a Millennia TD-1 to a Vipre. I do love the versatility and sound of the vipre over the Millennia Pre but there is that certain sound I'm still looking for. How different are these units considering that the vipre has a lot of different settings. I'm getting closer but I'm just not there yet.
