Recording Vocals in your Home Studio - Part 1: Getting Started 

I will start building my home studio, I can already afford that bottle of water 4:12

Filmmaking-wise this is pretty awesome.

Please continue to produce this series. It's amazingly informative and so well done. Truly a service to the entire recording community.

2:52 she is comming in like GTA Character LMAAOOOO

definitely one of the best vocal recording tutorials on YT I've watched so far.

As an audio engineer, seeing you place that expensive TLM 103 standing on that road box drives me nuts! Almost like having a can of soda on an amplifier!

Top ten movies of this decade. I cant wait for the scenes with brando.

This is exactly how a great company is run. Education of correct product use through entertaining and informational YT clips.

At first I thought this was just "another vocal tutorial" but this was really great! I actually learnt a lot from this.

I got this; 😊🙏 In order to record a good vocal takes you need to give gifts and presents to the singer throughout the session to make the singer feels good.

great tips all round, not just about placement and sound, but also valuable musician and client treatment practices. Thanks team!

Another excellent video. I'm also transfixed by these single takes, sooo difficult. I'd love to see some out takes of the bloopers.

I've been tracking and producing for about as long as this video has been out and this is hands down the most helpful guide I've seen. Well done!

Incredible. I've done so much vocal recording research that i was expecting to hear the same things again. I'm even enrolled in an online course from Berkeley now about vocal recording. But i watched the vid anyway and i was surprised to learn some new basic stuff!! Definitely subscribed and will watch the other episodes.

This is another level of RU-vid tutorial - great work. I'm used to sketchy screencasts with people muttering over the top, but this was a piece of choreography!

this was amazing. I can't wait to watch the rest of the episodes. and, thank you!

Make sure there is nothing behind your microphone - I LIKE THIS advice! Very educational. And nice touch re: water bottle and headphones.

Quality of this video tutorial is just off the charts ❤️

Is it only me or there are many other who felt their heart pumping when he placed that mic on top that box ?

her voice is so beautiful!

I'm just halfway there and seems I've learned million things already.. great video guys! Clear like a crystal with precision!

Tutorials like this fuel me like crazy!!!!! GOD how I love and respect the art of recording.

wow, thank you very much. i learned a lot from this video, it is real life techniques that you are teaching. thank you so much!

This must be the best tutorial concerning vocal studio recording on youtube. Same goes for the acoustic guitar recording tutorials

George's presentation is top notch! Very creative! You can tell he puts alot of time into his video production. #NextLevel

Umm... your place doesn't really look like a "home studio"

she looked so done with him everytime he spoke 😂

Great channel this really helped me with my mic placement and my set up it truly does make a difference wow

fantastic tutorial, love your style of teaching!

YES! The PHASE switch. Brilliant tip and one I haven't seen in any other tutorials. I learned this lesson quite by accident when recording an announcer I worked with regularly. One day he complained that the headphones made him sound like he had a head cold. I checked the settings and equipment. Everything was dialed in normally, the processing, the mic, the room, the cans, everything was the same, EXCEPT the phase switch had somehow gotten toggled. As the engineer, he sounded the same to me regardless of the phase, but even a half cycle can befuddle the brain when the sound returns to the vocal performer's ears. A few times (over many decades) I purposely flipped the phase and the voice talent felt it sounded better in their head, but very rarely. Perhaps they had colds at the time? Another video full of great advise. Thanks.

Beautifully done. Danke.

Very informative, I learned a lot. But I’d like to mention the video editing. OUTSTANDING!

Really REALLY well done tutorial. Good pace to understand, good filming, good flow and organization, and good audio quality. I'll have to watch the rest of these.

this makes me happy. thanks for the insights

Great explanation.....the best i have seen so far about vocals....cheers.

as a music producer and singer , I love the song that she sings ( great vibration and she sing the blues notes so great ) , and I wrote this comment to say thanks to Georg Neumann for this great tutorial for recording vocals

Thank you. Your series of tutorials ranks at the top for me. Merci bien!

Outstanding video. So crispy. 🤘🏻

thank you so much this video has been a great help for recording stay safe

amazing tutorial. well done!

the song she sings really got on my nerves, but the dude is helpful so screw it :)

youre really good at this, thank you

Ima download it thanks for sharing!!

Love this just what I needed since iam starting a home studio

I love this video it was helpful. In regards to the location where this is filmed if only I had the means. Still a lesson in discerning what's useful. in regards to the water make sure its room temperature cold water isn't beneficial to the voice. It's something my music teacher taught me and I even gave that advice to another singer at a talent show.

Cool vfx i like them alot!

great to know about positioning the mic upside down if you have lyric sheets in front of the singer. Great video.

you are amazing. I finally understand. thank you

Excellent video, I'm setting up a home studio and just purchased the TLM 103 from Sam Ash and this video helps a lot. I look forward to the following videos. New subscriber, take care.

your good at this,thanks for the tips

Very helpful. Looking forward to watching the next one.

Great song and even better tutorial! Favorited, likes and subscribed!

Georg! Thanks so much for making a great quality video.

Great tutorial! Thank you.

Nice one man 👌🏾👊🏾. Really good video 😊.

It's a good video with helpfull tips. What I like even more about it is the way it's made. These little (but not too many) CG elements and that the off speaker and the real video blend together that well. And both of this in a one take video.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge...

So inspiring and artistic!

thanks for the content, so informative

Wooooow I had to pause and say that was creative and make things funny now back to video big up

Though an Ad, I like these tutorials. I own a few neumann microphones, and a good few hybrids. A very good but used U87 and TLM 103 are the most used Neumann's, but I also have other brands that offer excellent results, though different qualities within a session or mix ... Paint brushes 😉

So when i'm recording i should make it output my voice so i can hear myself?

Pretty cool video, from a pretty cool brand. Thank you!

Its really helpful for everybody, I appreciate your work, heads off.

Even the carpet does its job so classy.

Simply you are great ... Very useful...

real smooth my man!

Great content! There's a lot of crucial information and it's great to review things with a different approach! And I just need to ask: I watched this video yesterday and today I kept my mind all day thinking what's the consequence to leave the pop shield parallel to the microphone capsule? Ps.: I own a TLM103 and it was a game changer in my homestudio! Greetings from Brazil ✌

Great video. Although I felt awkward at some points....

Very well presented.... great

Weird video but very clever and well thought out in the way it was presented

thank you so much...😍😍🙏🙏

Just setting up a home studio for the first time and I'm unable to hear my audio tracks (in Logic PRoX) through my monitor headphones, only through monitors/speakers. I have the phones plugged into my apogee quartet. I can hear the white noise in the phones but no music/sound. When I switch back from phones to speaker option on the quartet, nothing comes through the phones, it just stays playing through the speakers. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thank you!

Nicely done video!

This video made me feel motion-sick

What is the vocal chain??? it sounds amazing... super lows and airy highs... Thank you!

Good tips thank you!

It is difficult to mur-2 for so long period. Very good set up. TLM 103 is very clear deep condenser microphone. It costs about Rs 100000.

Great stuff. Thanks.

I love you bro. Thank you!

I love this series, even when I can't even afford one of these mics :,D

Hi dear sir,i'm on a tight budget. Pls help me choose between Akg P120,Behringer B-1 or Mxl 770? Sound quality,lower handling noise & durability is key. Thanks all. It means a lot to me🥰🙏🏻

Georg Neumann Gmbh for the post thank you.

Dear Neumann please reissue original spec versions of U47, U67 and M49 :)

Wow great stuff where have you guys been.

also can I ask how to buy the right kind of headphones

Thank you! Really enjoyed this video

Thank You 🙌🙌Very Helpful Video 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

In a room like that.... when you add reverb in post production, it will be adding on to the natural room reverb.

Produce Like A Pro hi one more question Behringer um2 audio quality???? please help... which one audio interface will be better for intermediate music in Windows 10..

Very good..but a bit complexed for amateurs.. can anyone advise me please..i would like to put vocals to backing tracks that are the standard ones on utube..im not bad a singer..but like to sing at home at strange times(when I'm well in the mood).i want to make an album and have the time now..but a limited budget..any advice please.

if play guitar with singing then tell me the postion of mic so that the mic can catch both sound n voice????

It is the best I have ever seen

Great video ! Amazing editing

Thanks for sharing and information

Thanks Geert!

would be perfect if wiring setup and recording are covered

that's awesome!

Like so many others I wish to say how much I like the tutorial by Geert Verdickt and Neumann. Very well done! I knew already the videos on how to record an acoustic guitar but now I 'stumbled' across this recording vocals triptych. Reason I was searching again on the internet was my recent acquisition of a (second hand) U87Ai. I will hook it up to a Focusrite ISA One. My studio space is a small attic room which I treated acoustically. To avoid further reflection I also use a reflection filter screen behind the microphone (CAD Audio). Do I have to adopt/change my recording technique because of this set up? I think my sound benefits from using the reflection filter. Or should I do without it; or even, because of the cardioid pattern used, put the reflection filter behind the singer?

how many vocal tracks do i need for verse, how many for chorus, and how many for back-ups? paning? ect? Is there a video on that? Plz help me.
