Mike Shinoda - Already over (Vocal Cover) 

Thank you. I am using a cheap Rode nt1-A that I bought over 12 years ago (I wish I could afford a u87) on this recording and had multiple layers of the vocals. My first layer on this track I had the mic turned around (my kids were playing and I didn't notice) which I kept since I thought it sounded good. I appreciate all the tips, especially for the overdubs (I actually have the choruses with panned overdubs and middle as well)! My room has no acoustic treatment which is something I would look into as well since everything sounds so very sharp (perhaps the angle matters here as you mentioned).

Oh if you have any good vocal production for dummies vids I can partake in, it'd be much appreciated!

@@antonioravina Oh wow it looks just like a U87 at a glance! They clearly took some inspiration. That Rode is a popular mic and honestly still great for vocals. Where i've got a choice of vocal mics that's probably in my top 3. Vocal processing all comes down compression, saturation, EQ, de-esser and reverb, and working out the best order of that chain as it's not always the same, but tends to be for the same vocalist.

@@antonioravina Never thought of that. I'm part way through a degree in music production. I could set up a RU-vid channel for production advice as a project. It's hard to get noticed doing that though there's so many channels like that.

It's hard to get noticed doing anything on RU-vid now a days unless you have super mega production and/or been putting vids on RU-vid for a while. For me, I just want to sing and would like people to hear my voice and that is enough for now.
