Sometimes I wonder why I bother recording....

Post by Dr. Sausage » Sat Nov 27, 2004 10:50 pm

Two songs i recorded this weekend.. The same problems always exist. I feel that the songs are decent, but once it gets the the singing its awful. I need a real singer.

I would add that the vox is not bad just too much verb and

I think it would sound good with some dry (er) vox

Is the vox track just one track of delay? If so, how about making another track of that vocal and keeping that one dry. Try a micing distance how you normally do it and try it with some distant micing. i just received the new tapeop and Larry made a comment pertaining to this. it might help out.

The bird song I had the dry vocal then the delayed at about 80ms at about 70 percent volume. The other song is dry. I sung it at 2 in the morning not to be loud with my parents sleeping, hence why I have the telephone tones because I had to cut out all the awful bass. :shock: I'll just have to rerecord it eventually. Why must vocals be the most difficult part of recording!!!! Oh thats right.... because I suck.

I agree that the vox would sound fine with a different approach to the mix.

More importantly: click track

I did, but i used my drum machine live rather than programming the parts.

edit: I took out the slapback, and compressed the hell out of the vocals. The distortion in the vocals was there before, but now with the compression it's even more prevalent. >_<
