Vocal Recording

Hi Dudes ,

Are there any recommendations / Tutorials when it comes down to Vocal Recording?

For sure a good Studio is the best when it comes down to recording regarding background noise etc... but how do you guys with "lower budget" or you guys that dont have the possibility to go to a studio record your vocals?

Any good recommendations / recording tips for home recording? or is this nearly impossible because of noise and farts in the background!

Maybe there are some Noise Reduction Tools but I dont think that this can help to make your bad recording sound good if you "can have" the possibilty to make a good one without noise.

P.S: sorry if I overread the topics in the search just didnt find a topic about this.

Cheers

No, see I was talking about your comment and not mine.
But here is a tip from me: You can filter alot of noises with the auto filter.

Once you have a quiet room, decent mic, and a pop-shield you should experiment with the sound of the space. For example stand in the middle of the room and do a vocal. Then make a fake booth by hanging some blankets around you (I use spare mic stands) particularly behind you and do another vocal. Compare the two. The one with the blankets will suit some songs better, the one without will be better for others. Bathrooms are also good for interesting sounding spaces.

here is a trick, bootleg way to get a small chamber...

assuming you cant put the mic in your closet or something, take a blanket and put it over the door to your room hang the mic from that, and open the door stand behind the door facing the corner behind the door, next to the wall, record from there.

bootleg!
