Hey Folks,

just wanted to get some recommendations on recording a singer/songwriter that wants to lay down guitar and vocals live off the floor. Bleed is a given, but does anyone have any tips/tricks that have yielded good results in the past?

This should be pretty easy to knock out. First of all I have never messed much with preamps and I ran into this problem. I am recording vocals by running a KEL Audio HM1 into a Sebatron Thorax Channel strip and from there to the box.

I am looking at both of these mics as my next purchase. I have absolutely no experience with tube mics (AT 4060). I have heard great things about both. As I have been told my voice is a bit brittle and soft, I am trying to find a mic for only doing vocals (rock).
Just seeing what people think about these 2 mics in basically the same price category.

Thanks,
Justin

Hey guys (and girls),

This came up on another of my posts and so I was curious if anyone had used this mic for rock vocals. Like I said in another post I read somewhere that Rick Rubin used this on some of the System of a Down vocal tracks.

I am having some trouble here. First off, here is my specs...
1)Behringer B-2 Microphone plugged into a phantom power box which goes to the input jack of...
2) dbx 266xl compressor/gate (need to know whats a good setting for the threshold, ratio, attack, and release for a good strong vocal for hip hop) which the output jack from the compressor goes to...

i was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of whats on the vocals in a certain chevelle song. its extremely clear vocals to me. i dont understand how andy wallace mixes this album. but the song I'm talking about is "panic prone" off of "This Type Of Thinking Could Do Us In" amazon has a clip of it..

Hi this is my first post but i'm anxious to hear whta other think on this topic. I have put together a small (very small) studio in my home. I record the vocals through an SM58, the best mic i have, and this runs through a Mackie mixer into an m-audio preamp/interface. I am having a problem recording good vocals.

I'm looking for a dynamic mic for vocal recordings. I had acceptable results with an Sennheiser E835 in the past, and good results with an MD 422.
There is, of course, the 58, but it feels a little... ehhmm... standard...
How does it compare to the 422, the beta 57 or the evolution mics?

Please add to this thread at will. It would be nice to have as many as possible so that it can become a resource for our members. Also please lets number them so it becomes an easy reference for everyone- thanks- :D
