What are your favorite Vocal Recording Tips? Let me know!

[@DarrellSt.Blaine]

You mentioned two things that I sometimes combine: when recording backing vocals, if I'm in a rush (or feeling lazy) rather than bringing out a different mic I'll have the singer stand further back and I'll angle the mic so the singer is off axis, or in the case of using an omni mic I'll have the singer face at an angle to the mic. The difference can be subtle but I prefer to tone shape this way rather than using EQ. Another good tip I picked up from Michael Stavrou's book is using the vertical placement of the mic to either brighten or soften the tone of a singer's voice. Having the mic up high (and telling the singer to project straight ahead) can soften a harsh voice (and also reduce sibilance & plosives) while positioning the mic down at chin level and pointing it slightly up facing their nostrils can brighten a singer's voice. It all depends on the singer and the mic but it's something worth trying.

Mike Stavrou's book "Mixing with your mind" is a goldmine of recording tricks - highly recommend !

Hey Chris great education once again! I'm a big believer in one complete take of the vocal track and then fix what needs fixing for the exact reason you gave here. Performance is the key for me. Not only on vocals but with everything.

[@CreativeSauce]

Fantastic advice!

[@mixdownonline]

Thanks bro!!

[@LESHED1]

Very Good Video. Thank you Chris for making all of us better!

You don’t have to use a condenser mic to get a good result an SM57 or 58 will give better results in a lot of cases

I have a few movable panels in my little home studio - I can move them around to make a temporary vocal booth. That really helps to deal with those pesky early reflections.

[@dawoodAlsamadi]

Big thank you from a huge fan .

[@cefahprod]

Oh, did you work with Jimmy Lahaie? Amazing guitarist. Thanks for reminding the fundamental : performance is key

[@marcel_max]

good night from Taipei

[@excellentsoundsest8549]

cool

[@davidhellegouarch1622]

So nice, thank you for sharing this ! Do you recommand to record a bit far to the mic to have thin pop vocals like Justin Bieber ?

[@DJimeku]

how to set settings in DAW for recording a vocalist? I notice when I hit record, there is a delay between what I can hear in the headphones as I'm recording. It makes it hard to record. I have the latency set correctly, not sure what's going on
