Another tip for mic placement: If your vocalist has any classical singing, they're gonna fill the room with their sound, classical singing is rarely mic'd, so move the mic further away, unless you can tell them to not project and it works in a test recording (definitely test mic placement with classical vocalists a few times, these singers are typically loud).

Extra bonus, Standing up is better for vocal recording than sitting down.

Once in a TV talk-show, Garth Brooks agreed to sing a few lines from one of his hits, and he said, "But first I have to stand up or I can't hit the notes." I'll never forget that.

Def got a new sub here bro! Im a completely independent recording artist whos mainly hiphop based an on a super tight budget atm.. as of now im rockin a Rode NT1A mic on a sm6 shock mount with a SE vocal shield behind it. A Scarlett Solo interface as I normally just record vocals over premixed beats like you stated in the video.. cheaper memory foam to help with room acoustics an im literally about to upgrade from using freaken bandlab on an android to start using cubasis 3 for ios on an ipad.. its not much to most but it's getten the job done for now.. im completely self taught an never had a lesson on anything besides watching videos like this so I def appreciate the work people like you put in!!!

Hey man, I just re started singing lessons and music theory and piano, my singing teacher told me that would be a good idea to start recording myself in order to grasp a better idea of my progress and mistakes and also is fun to do your own covers with voice and instruments by yourself, I know nothing at all of recording and I’m about to get my focus rite scarlet interface (thanks to your advise) and the other stuff you mentioned in your other video like the closed back headphones, the stand and the xrl cables, thanks is really helpful I really appreciate your content, and I’m happy I will be able to use my old super 55 shure mic that I got as a gift years ago for the first time ☺️ that mic is so sexy 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t wait to use it live someday

@cristouk 17 дней назад

I always use the mic placement hanging down as shown in your video, apart from helping minimise pops, it also makes the singer point their head up, which opens the throat for a better performance. Also, if you're really having problems with a vocalist popping on plosives, you can tape a thin pencil over the diaphragm which deflects the air.

very useful video, 1 question, I own a focusrite solo 4th gen...when I record my vocals from the closet (as u suggested) what about the AIR mode or DRIVE mode? do I have to enable them? or it's better to record natural with no effect from audio device?

@MyAudioAcademy Месяц назад

We tend to recommend staying away from the AIR mode (or until you really understand why you’re using it). This will print an EQ curve that could potentially ruin your recording 😅 If you ever want to add eq to your take, we’d recommend doing it using an EQ plugin in your DAW!

Random audio question.......I have a scarlet 2i2 (no midi inputs in back) and an old keyboard with midi inputs. How can I run MIDI with my keyboard through the interface? I could buy a MIDI to thunderbolt to connect to my laptop but then I can't hear the keyboard on my ERIS 4.5 monitors.

@rosiebrotherton4911 7 месяцев назад

does the keyboard have USB? some keyboards have usb that can send midi i’ve got a shitty old yamaha keyboard that works like that. or i’d just sell the 2i2 and get a slight upgrade to one with midi inputs

@ImYourOverlord 8 месяцев назад

For initial recording of a track, it's helpful to set input gain as high as possible just before the point of distortion/cliping.

@Jose_T131 8 месяцев назад

Great information , thanks man I was recording my voice at -6 dB, I'll try that 5:52. Do you recommend to always normalize audio?

@swvsnick 8 месяцев назад

I was told by my electronic composition teacher to avoid normalizing, and also told by a friend that made songs in Sony Vegas Pro to normalize before that, so I think it depends on what you're doing. I know that normalizing makes your high decibel stuff lower, and your low decibel stuff higher. My friend that did do normalizing did it to make quieter takes louder, but there should be a way to raise the level of your media item or take in your DAW. I think you just gotta look up videos on what normalizing is and see who's opinion is the most persuasive, my professor against normalizing I think said it risks raising the noise floor (the background noises not intended to be recorded), but I could be wrong. I think it also risks peaking the audio if i remember correctly.

@patrickduquesne2909 Год назад

Thanks man this really helped omg. Hey wondering does this trick with lowering the instrumental work with vocal muddiness?

@bobbyblueflame Год назад

Turning down the instrumental does two things. 1. Gives you more head room down the road when you start to mix. 2.keeps you from cranking up your pre amp so that your vocal can compete with an obnoxiously loud instrumentals. Keep your vocal in the green when recording -18 to -12 is always a good bet.

Why not to record with fast compressor on? As far as I know the biggest artists have always recording chain including compressor to prevent to high dynamic and clipping of course. You need to consider that in mixing stage that vocal have been compressed a bit already but anyway that's the best option. My go to is 1176 for that. Great tips tho 😊

@Northernhellhounds 6 месяцев назад

My biggest problem right now when I’m recording vocals for my band is whenever an “S sound” comes, it completely overrides the instrumental track and almost basically mutes the track for the duration of the S sound. Sometimes even does this when there’s a hard “T sound”. I mess with the EQ, nothing, I completely re-record the vocals on a lower gain setting, does nothing. I’ve been producing music for a long time with shit mics, but for some reason, I’m always having with problem with the $400 mic I just bought. I know it picks up a lot more things which is great and it’s what I want, but the “T” and “S” are screwing my entire track that my band spent so much time on. Any tips?

@nb1223 Год назад

WRONG... The closet is the worst place to record vocals. The low frequencies will still reflect. If you don't believe me then go do a clap test. You are going to get a boxy vocal mix. The Beatles recorded in Abbey Road Studios for a reason. It was a huge space to record in. And that ladies and gentlemen is the secret to recording vocals.

@dubem6671 Год назад

Yea the comb filtering in closest sounds terrible

@promxth3679 Год назад

I record in multiple areas. Closet is terrible. I record in a car in a garage. Also on a balcony that is tall and oval shaped. Both are better than a closet imo.

@bignies Год назад

What if you take these lows out with an eq?

@nb1223 Год назад

@@bignies that’s not going to work. If you go heavy on the EQ with the lows, then your going to strip your vocals of low tone and warmth. It’s going to sound tinny and unnatural. To make up for the loss of low frequencies your going to raise the gain on the mix. Now it’s going to be annoying at high volume playback. Your going to spend so much time trying to tweak your mix your going to end up frustrated. One of the first things a mixing engineer would probably ask you if you handed him your recording is… dude where is the low frequencies - like, did you just completely butcher the low end frequencies? Shape your low end… kind of like a artist who is sculpting clay. Play with it, raise it, lower it… make sure their is warmth and volume. As far as getting rid of the boxy sound. It’s not going to happen - those mid level transient frequencies are what are causing that boxy sound. Your going to want to EQ all the way to where that boxy sound is coming from; you are going to butcher your mix.
