Hello I'm a newbie to this forum & I would like suggestions & help with my vocals.

HI
Looking for advice and guidance on buying sound equipment.
Need to record some voice-overs form home and have a limited budget. Dont know much about how to set this up but needs to attach to PC.
Want to record voice-overs with good quality and be able to play about with the sound files in whatever format they have been saved as.

You hear it on the radio and in theaters; That HUGE monster size voice over (usually for emphasis).

what are some different ways that is achieved?

For broadcast radio/television voice-overs, what is the most widely used microphone(s)…

Also what is the de facto recording chain (pre/mic/comp/eq >> tape/hard drive, etc) – specifically, what pieces of gear/hardware/software….

Thanks –

JAB

I tried this in the Biz section but didn't get any bites. Anyone here have any thoughts?

I've had a few people ask if I would record their Vocals over their Karaoke songs. What kind of Legal issues could I run into here? Obviously it would be illegal for them to try to sell copies of it, but is it legal for me to record them for their own personal use? Should I have them sign some kind of indemnity form. Anyone have such a form?

I work at an advertising agency here in Philadelphia and I need a Voice-over studio in Boston. It will most likely be an hour or so.

Hi All,

Can somebody please advise what could be the a recommended low/medium-budget setup in order to do excellent voice-over recordings for promos, commercials, spots, jingles.

Please include all the hardware (mic, pre-amp, compressor, EQ, mixer, etc ., - excluding the PC) and software components required.

Hi, I have a project I am doing as a favour for a friend he is recording his book to CD, and I have not had any experience with Micing for this purpose. it should be a natural appealing sound that is not super compressed/close miced - that is I'm not after a typical in your face " radio " sound, just a clear natural clean and appealing recording.

I do spoken word and voice-over work. I am learning how to do the recording aspects myself with a small project studio at home. I am very interested in what everyone with experience in that area thinks about:
1. microphone selection (is the Sennheiser 416 the one?)
2. microphone placement
3. EQ, Compression, etc while tracking... opinions.
