Hi Everyone! I made this video nearly 7 years ago now! One of my first ever videos! Since then many amazing mics have come out for less than $300! We live in an amazing time where music making is becoming more and more affordable!

[@conordo4657]

Thanks for all you do!!! I can't tell you how helpful you, you're channel, and PLAP academy have been for me!!!

[@Producelikeapro]

@@conordo4657 thanks ever so much!

I recorded vocals in a studio, and he had colored lights in the vocal booth. He turned off all lights in the other rooms...It made me feel comfortable because I felt the stage atmosphere, and couldn't see past the glass of the booth to be inhibited ...it was a great experience !!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jbandshahayeah1862]

This advice is GOLDEN. as a singer, the distraction element is key, I've found that I perform better if I sing while doing something else at the same time. If I try to focus and sing on pitch and try to make everything perfect, it usually comes out forced. Throw on some light auto tune, light a few candles, sip a bit of warm tea and you're ready to go.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!!

[@PherotoneStudios]

Even after 15 years in a studio and having studied it in college you'd think a video like this would be pointless for someone like me. It's far from that. It's important to see how other people demonstrate and explain methods for recording, and seeing someone that is a top end producer and engineer put a free video out that gives their take on it is invaluable

[@Producelikeapro]

Wow! Such high praise! I really appreciate it! Thank you ever so much my friend!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Sean Donahue Starter Condensers that sound good are $300 they can go up to 15k plus. Personally I think the Lewitt LCT 550 is amazing and is around $600 I believe. I hope that helps! Happy New Year!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@GuitarJamzOfficial]

great video Warren!! good stuff my man

[@Producelikeapro]

Now that is high praise indeed coming from you martyzsongs! Thanks very much indeed. Keep on rocking and serving the guitar players of the world like you do so well Sir! Many thanks Warren

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

2:05 "When the singers like... BLAH!" Loved that, bout busted out laughing in the break room!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Robert McClellan Haha thanks! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@KwyatMan]

HOT TEA! I'm so glad you said this as I was JUST thinking if using hot tea when I record is helpful for my vocals and you've just confirmed it. Thank you!

[@Producelikeapro]

Wonderful! Not too Hot, warm is best!

[@KwyatMan]

This was PERFECT! Thank you. You've touched on many points others have not and I appreciate that.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thank you ever so much!!

[@drill2.087]

After spending a lot of time as a vocalist the mic that sounded the very best on my voice, even more so than the really expensive Mics, was a $350 ish mic made by Shure, the tried and true sm7b, love it. I’ve also heard great things about the Slate mic modeling system and I’m going to check that out as well.

[@autocrow]

Great tips! Best video on recording vocals I've seen yet.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!

[@subjectifobjectif]

I've just found your goodself on youtube, great video...especially the tip at the end about the acoustic treatment behind the artist. I have them around my mic but have never put them behind myself...& it's actually much better now & gives me the control of the room ambience, so a big thanks for sharing, keep up the great work.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Scott Davis Haha yes it's interesting how we don't use logic on that one! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it! Warren

[@NeilBolandGuitaristWriter]

Just bought the NT1. Been attempting home recording for years, on and off, and had little success, due to bad luck with OS choices and hardware. Back on board now with the Rode and decent interface and Mac, subscribed to your videos, and I'm back into it! Glad to hear I didn't go too tight-arse on the mic. :p

[@MADMANMUSICINC]

Thank you Warren for the great tips! Will be using them here very soon! Never thought about the baffling being more important to be placed behind the vocalist but that makes perfect sense...like you said the mic is going to pick up whats coming from behind.

[@petefaders]

good point about the baffle placement

[@jeremylynch5182]

Hey Warren did you ever make that video?

[@georgruzzene6842]

Since the first seconds I understood this was a great tutorial. Thanks!

[@JedWunderli]

As I was watching this video I thought of my experiences of working with the vocalists that have sung my songs and I try to do exactly what you say. They need to feel relaxed and comfortable.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for watching Jed Wunderli yes agreed once they are relaxed you can get amazing results! Have a marvelous time recording! Thanks for watching! Many thanks Warren

[@MusiKariostv]

Great video! Thanks especially for the Spanish subtitles ...

[@Greenleaf3791]

Brilliant video. I liked the part about having the singer stand in the corner and baffle the area behind them. I'll have to give it a go. i have also heard that if you are in a room where there is very little acoustic treatment then you may try to place the mic in the middle of that room so that it is away from the reflective surfaces and hence is less exposed to the reflections. But at the end of the day a great performance is the thing that counts most. Have a wonderful day Warren.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Greenleaf3791 Thanks very much! Yes simple solutions to problems always work best for me! Agreed a great performance always wins!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@missamartinez484]

Hi +Delta Music Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@bugherder]

Wow, Warren. You did such an excellent job expressing yourself creatively, utilizing that microphone to effectively get your points across, that I'm subscribing. I'm a determined, fourth-year songwriter unable to afford professional demos, so creating with Cubase 8 Pro with a MOX6 keyboard, acoustic guitar, and vocals for now. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your professional insight and caring. Larry Bryant-Lubbock, TX

[@Mdjagg]

I just got an SE Space filter for dampening behind the mic, works wonderfully. If you have a great open room for a singer and you are going for the wide open sound then you wouldn't want this, but for tight, dry, controlled vocals with little room to no room sound, its a must have. It's not cheap, but compared to real deal sound proofing for an awesome booth its dirt cheap. One guy at sweetwater recommended setting this up with the singers back to an open closet full of clothes, pretty much taking care of the dampening behind the singer like you are suggesting.

[@gregoryabat3948]

+Ma Ja I will second the SE Space endorsement. They work fabulously well. Of course, they are not a complete solution in and of themselves. Rear baffling is also very important.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Gregory Abat Yes I highly recommend baflling where the mic is pointing! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@jeromemathews1163]

thank u for a marvellous lesson....u are great man..

[@rminternational4267]

Great videos mate, subscribed to the channel and the email list. Just bought a MXL Genesis and trying to work for the first time with a tube mic. Other than letting it warm up sufficiently any other tips as I find it much more sensitive than a standard condenser?

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for watching Allen Scot! I am interested to hear what you think of that mic. Make sure you use a Pop Screen because as you mentioned it will be a lot more sensitive. You'll like the extra warmth you get close up, so it's all about great mic technique, close for the warm sounding verses and further away for the more aggressive/louder parts. Let me know how you get on! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@budgetguitaristcom]

Very good advice to baffle behind the artist. I started doing this and it made a big difference.

[@CordelUK]

Amazing video! Great channel Warren.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Cordel UK! I really appreciate it!

[@ErickT_MX]

Thanks Warren for this videos and the subs in spanish! ¡¡Muchas Gracias!! im making a list of the videos you did in spanish for all the people who only speaks spanish...keep up the good work

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Erick T. Great thank you! We are slowly getting through all of the videos in Spanish! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@yeonxxi7283]

I really like your 'How To' tutorials...and I hope you'd make some reviews between any recording software....I'm going to start some home recording but still kinda confused about which one is good and suitable with my...you know...low budget... lol anyway, keep it up sir, I'd like to learn more

[@LuvMusiq37]

Hey Warren i really enjoy your videos. would you use compression on the in the box for vocals or would you rather use a out board compressor. Im a gospel engineer so if you have any tips that would be amazing. Im ising pro tools 10. Thanks in advance for your feed back

[@warrenhuart]

Hi LuvMusiq37 I personally like to use an outboard compressor when recording vocals, it reduces the likelihood of digital clipping if I control the signal going in. However I have used a plug in compressor many times on an auxiliary input going to an audio track, I set it up exactly as I would using a hardware compressor and I've had great results! Thanks for the great question! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren

[@ACDCLEOPOLDO]

But the dynamic range in the daw is giant, what you have to do is decrease the input level in the preamp and then compress it in the outboard gear, otherwise you will never be able to take the compression.

[@KHPR0]

thank you so much! I was wondering why my reflection shield for my mic wasn't quite doing the trick

[@sun_catchers_music]

I like you putting efforts on trying to ease the singer first before jumping on technical details

[@Producelikeapro]

Absolutely! Thanks ever so much

[@romanrios6032]

Hey warren great video. I had a question, in the video you say that it is better to place baffles behind the singer instead of in front of them, what is you take on portable acoustic treatments such as the sE Electronics SPACE?

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for the question Roman Rios! I have used the sE Electronics SPACE on some Ribbon Mics, I put it behind the Ribbon to focus it forward so there wasn't any bleed from behind it as Ribbon Mics are always in Figure of 8. Thanks for watching! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren.

[@ShirleneReeves]

Thanks Warren. Very helpful.

[@twilightbiscuit]

love you videos man

[@sebastianherrera9214]

I`m really grateful for your videos, you helped a lot in my mixes, greetings from Colombia, thanks also for the C.C I know it help a lot the people from spanish countries.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Sebastian Herrera Soto You're welcome! I'm slowly getting through them!! Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@swingset1969]

Great vid. To add to it, a good, cheap, easy solution for baffling a vocal "booth" that everyone has access to is a clothes closet. Hanging clothes create a natural deadening, and it's easy to just pull off some sweaters and jackets to surround the vocalist. I've done this for years in my home studio, it also keeps my wailing to a minimum if anyone else is around, lol. There are times where some bounce is a really cool tone tho (think Sun Records), for a rockabilly or vintage live-feel, a bathroom with tile and glass is just the the thing.

[@royglennie]

Warren! Excellent video as usual! Quick question - how would you set up compression ratio, attack etc on the way in for vocals? I'm looking for a rock/pop sound that is not obviously overly compressed so still has some dynamics, but is 'squashed' enough to keep the gain good for softer and louder parts to automate or compress later. Thanks, and fantastic channel, I've learned more about production in the last month than I have in 5 years of recording in a band! Cheers

[@EssillusionsUHD]

great video very professional! deserve success on KZbin!

[@lungchuntin]

Dear Warren, this is Dragon from Hong Kong and thanks a lot for your great videos: full of passion, interesting, professional, knowledgable and your presentation is very easy to understand; I like your voice is very easy to hear! A question from me is you mentioned in the tutorial that if the room is big, we better to record sound at the corner, I want to know do you mean I face to the corner or my back is a corner? Now I am facing an issue is my office is about 400 feet and no room and as a studio so the voice is hard to control, not solid. Trying to lower the gain and make it just reach 6-8 inches capturing the sound as your tutorial mentioned. Thanks!

[@lungchuntin]

Thanks a lot Warren and got it! Merry Christmas!!!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +龍震天 You;re welcome! Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@judicebastard3524]

[@christianschroer1999]

I only bought me the Lewitt LTC 140 Air to record my piano but I also practicing singing a bit with it . For a beginner thats enough I think.

[@Producelikeapro]

Agreed 100%!

[@RishyCupTV]

Great tips Warren, thank you! I always distract myself when I record my own vocals because it's gets me out of my own head lol. :/

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi, +RishyCup TV That's a great idea!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@brettconradie323]

Great video! Thank you Warren! :)

[@garnetbey7400]

like always great stuff Warren...

[@newsigmundfreud3023]

Thanks. Can you give us a review about one mic in particular: Blue Yeti "PRO" (versus Rode NT-USB)?

[@kingdizzydotcom]

another majorly crucial thing in vocal recordings is technique & emotion. a good vocalist can save the mixing engineer many hours of work by impeccably controlling the dynamics of their performance. as a vocalist im even controlling my EQ as i sing. learning your mic and how it reacts to quiet and loud sounds helps one to mainuplate your voice in the best way for that mic. because i mix aswell im always looking to deliver a perfect vocal for listening and an easy one to mix ! im on both sides of the looking glass !

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +kingdizzyworld Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Thanks for the fantastic tip! Yes if you have the time to work in your own environment and really hone you skills it's fantastic! Unfortunately a lot of singers rarely get to record so it's up to us to hep guide them properly! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@happyhomelesshomesteaders158]

Thank you Warren great tips

[@hijodecally]

Hi! thanks for this channel is great. I want to get a preamp that works good for vocal and bass . What would you recommend?

[@silviashusband497]

thank you mr. Pro. all the best!

[@southernoverdrive09]

Warren, when setting up to record vocals in my daw will it make any difference adding reverb to the vocal track when recording the vocal as far as gain?

[@privacyIsKing]

I use a Beta 52a for vocals, that's all I have, and I find myself cranking the gain really hard to get the character of a take. I'm thinking that it has to do more with the preamps of the Tascam US-1800 interface than with the mic itself but any feedback on this would be appreciated. Is it normal for a microphone to not pickup certain frequencies at certain gains?

[@maylightbewithyou]

Could you do a mic shootout with low budget to high budget mics? It would be so useful to hear!! Thanks so much for sharing such valuable tips!

[@steenbreker60]

Hi Psalm Miracle Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@parasiteunit]

The best drink is hot lemon, ginger and a splash of honey... Soothing, warming and helps reduce any straining as it's antibacterial and ginger has antiinflammatory properties... It's not everyone's favourite beverage, but it's a useful thing to use. Also, one of the best make shift booths I've used is a built in wardrobe. Hang a few heavy clothing items around strategically and yeah - pretty dry.

[@shantoo10]

Sir, my recording were fine until this song, where I'm trying to record a line which has a warm bit followed by a loud yell. I tried singing a six inches away, it still picks on the distortion blasting off a little. Standing a little behind gives room for all the shite reflection. So can a bit of compression and reducing the gain post the recording help? Or I need to change whole other things? I tried changing the levels through the hardware settings. Didn't do any good. This video has been a great help thank you.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Shantu Shinde Great question! When I'm engineering someone else's vocals I will often change the gain settings while recording. You'll have to have the gain control in front of you so you can adjust it when you hit the loud parts! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

[@gurinderarora4697]

Could you please post a video on the workflow of recording the full vocals of a whole song?

[@chatclap]

hi Warren how are you? do you have any videos on recording with compression, vocals, snares, etc, and how to get different sounds, i always hear: dont record with compression! cause if you dont like it, you cant go back" but then i see people like Chris Lord Alge etc and they say that you "have to record with compression cause if you dont, then it doesnt sound like a record" and "to get the sound you are looking for, when you know what you already want" , then i end up kind of stuck cause im scared of trying something out, and i dont know what the sounds are, but you´d like to understand what would make it sound better, or more this or more that, so this is something would be awesome for you to talk about, i happen to have a Neve Prism channel that comes with a compressor, and the thing is I never use it, and im sure it would sound better than many plug ins, and every time i decide i wanna give it a shot I end up ruining mi track, so I would love to have some guide lines to get started, i mostly record myself, so i can do a lot of try and error, but again, would be nice to have some guide lines, thanks for your time!

[@MrMuppetbaby]

Hi Warren, I hope you are having an absolutely marvelous day, and you are absolutely marvelous yourself by the way. You are smart, talented, and dedicated to our recording community and I love watching all your videos and live webcasts. I have a question for you, if possible can you render an opinion on the Toft ATB line of consoles? I am thinking about one because of the price point but I have seen a lot of negative about their build quality. Things just coming pre-broken or parts breaking down in short order. Can't have something that is unreliable in my studio. What do you think? Thanks!

[@Lucretious2006]

Brilliant video and wonderful studio! Will share this with people! Quick question: if your singer keeps the same "safe" distance to the mic, even during soft verses, is it a bad thing to normalise the signal later in the mix for optimal level?

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Lucretious2006 Great question! There are many tools we have now in digital, I would suggest ring the gain when singing if you can, it's an interesting thing to do and requires a good understanding of where the singer is going to sing soft or belt out, but if you can do it it will sound amazing!! Have a marvelous time recording! Warren

[@KeenanCrow]

Never considered setting the gobos behind the singer. But makes sense. Definitely trying that.

[@Drgreenthumb_]

Nice tip at the end-baffle behind the artist. I use the SE mic reflector and it helps however like you said the mic is pointing in the opposite direction. I found some old office cubical panels on Craigslist that I use and they were inexpensive and work great. As always. Thanks Warren. Thanks to guys like you and Dave I don't have to fork out $40k a year at full sail. I can just sip tea and go to class on KZbin 🎤🎼

Hi +Robert Nicholas Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

[@terrythorsen2685]

Right on about baffling *behind* the singer! Quick mobile, low budget baffle: Extend a mic stand as high as possible. Set the extension horizontal so the mic stand forms a "T" about 6 feet tall (prop it up on a speaker if you need more height). Drape two thick moving blanks over the T and position 1-3 ft *behind* the singer. Usable results in almost any room. (Make sure mic is set to cardioid!)

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi +Terry Thorsen haha thanks for highlighting that! Great tip! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
