i'm using a Yamaha EMX66M 600 watt powered mixer w/12 in Peaveys...4pc live (i'm not recording) rock band w/vocals only going through the mixer/pa. any rule of thumb as to eq settings on the graphic equalizer? (i.e. add some freq "X"/or cut on freq "y"). and what are the sweet frequencies to boost for fullness and the "in frontness" that vocals need?

Hello. I was wondering why people use isolation booths for vocals but say that they sound like a "phone booth" when it comes to recording acoustic guitar. Doesn't the "phone booth" sound also apply to vocals?

Thanks
Mike

I have so many questions, I don't know where to start. But I mainly want to know how should I properly "mix" or blend in the vocals with the music. I usually just record karaoke/instrumental tracks where I have the music as one track and the vocals as another. Currently, I'm using Adobe Audition. I have the music file on the first track and the vocals on the second track.

Hey there,
I'm looking to add a Tube mic to my home studio set up. I will (at least fro the first little while) be running it directly into my Digi 002R. Eventually I'll invest in a nice mic preamp. I'll be using it mainly for voice over work, but would also like to record vocals for music projects as well.

Hi all,

Just interested as to what people thought was the better mic between the RODE NT2A and the AudioTech. AT4040 - for recording vocals (and acoustic instruments)?

I have looked at some prices, and in Australia the 4040 seems to be more expensive then the NT2A, but in the US the 4040 seems to be cheaper?

Is there something I'm missing here?

I just got finished recording a hip hop vocal track and I wanted to know what ya'll thought. I need critique on the vocals only...i know that the beat is messed up. Thanks

Are there any software that can remove vocals on normal CD`s?

I am using Cubase sx3 by the way..

Thanks for any replies! :D

I want to get a preamp for vocals. (for eastern voices and western harmonies). I was looking at Avalon M5 but it seems they are not shipping them at the moment. I could get it from somebody who has them but I would want to wait and see what the reason is for Avalon to not ship them before I buy that.

Hi there,

I have my microphone going into my mixer, and then into Pro Tools. How should I set my EQs on the mixer for the vocals coming into Pro Tools? Is it a good idea to set everything to zero, and then eq it in Pro Tools?
