The Easy Formula for Recording Vocals with Any Microphone

[@ElMeezyo]

Thank you for this bro! I used to overthink my vocal chain and put a all kinds of plug-ins on it - keepin‘ it simple is the key! Love from Germany! 🫶🏾

[@SKYJORDXN]

@@ElMeezyo appreciate you gang

[@hiperego]

Don't worry man, just continue working on yourself. Also start with choosing what you make your music for: headphones or speakers and start editing using one. I was making my music with headphones and couldn't understand why it sounded like trash on speakers lol

[@alittleblackcircle3628]

If ya’ll want to print as you record vocals, here’s how: 1.Create Mono Aux track 2.Put the plug-ins you want to print on the aux inserts 3.Set your mic input to the Aux. 4.Create a Bus send from the Aux to your audio recording track. Hope this helps.

Hey bro. I know you’ve done a video using REAPER. If you can, it’ll be nice to see more videos using REAPER for recording

[@JosefwitdaCoatOn]

Thanks for the setting bro 💪🏽

[@davidkim2409]

i understand that for chorus parts layering vocals can help make it sound fuller and give it the stereo vibes, but for the verses, do you usually just have one vocal track, or do you also layer that as well? Btw thanks for the video dude, it really inspires me a lot!

[@SKYJORDXN]

If I’m doing hooks I’ll layer depending on the vibe of the song or sound I’m going for. I’ll just organize and add tracks accordingly

[@alittleblackcircle3628]

It’s all taste and what sound you’re looking for as well. Just look at Eminem’s verses in “Love the Way You Lie” with Rihanna. He doubles every word, if not triples them.

[@JTFuller]

that is ill man.. Yo, how you set up that aux to do that? dang what audio interface you use there is no latency.. How you do that or you on a M1 or better, any output gear? Great video bruh..

[@alittleblackcircle3628]

I got UAD spark last night. (99 cents for 3 months deal atm) and I was curious on why you didn’t use the EQ on the Neve. Do you prefer not to print any EQ on your vocals while tracking? Even a hi-pass filter?

[@SKYJORDXN]

@@alittleblackcircle3628 I did use the EQ, it wasn’t a major move but depending on what I’m doing I’ll print in my telephone effect or boost if needed

[@alittleblackcircle3628]

@@SKYJORDXN Oh fs. Thought it was bypassed. Mad appreciate the replies to my questions bro. I don’t got much experience with printing as I record. But I fw the clean sound the plug ins do to the vocal recordings. Always loved the hardware Neve-1176 combo so this is the closest us broke ppl can get.

[@matthaberek]

Challenge: make a Samson q2u sound amazing with a simple set up. It is a very common microphone among iOS vocalist. It’s been compared a lot to a shure sm58

May sound dumb but how do you set up having the print aux and then the record track through there?

[@SKYJORDXN]

@@PinkSauce. mic input on an aux and output into a regular track basic routing

[@felipeboucai3218]

Hi Sky, quick question. What gain do you usually use when recording through this ?

[@SKYJORDXN]

My interface is at 0 and I push the pre anywhere between 50-30 depending on how hard I wanna hit the compressors but it’s more of a vibe thing for me

[@LOKEJ906]

Does the at2020 usb mic sound good as the at2020 xlr mic

[@ItsClutchLmao]

in my opinion no, xlr vs usb in general is a big difference especially when it comes to background noise pickup and overall quality. xlr wins that all day. plus xlr lets you have a interface which lets you record with WAY less latency

[@midlifeadventures3138]

Are you using the Apollo Twin as an interface? Are you setting that input and Consoles input to 0 to avoid latency?

[@SKYJORDXN]

I never have latency even without the Apollo twin, I can use usb mics , earbuds , a focusrite and volt and never have latency issues. all of those plugins are native

[@midlifeadventures3138]

@@SKYJORDXN nice, I get latency when I use Apollo Twin and Logic cannot figure out if it’s the Twin or Logic doing it

How do you set up a print track

[@that_gamer_jeff8295]

Why use two compressors? Is one upward comp and one downward comp?

[@SKYJORDXN]

the 2 compressors = the cl1b which most ppl don’t have 76 is used to control peaks 2A is used to push the vocals forward

[@zaa-flips-it]

so this comment is about waves real time, which was a great video you made btw, and i wondering why mine doesnt sound like that, i tried everything and i couldnt get it to work correctly, so i started using ozone 11 and when i had it use A.I to find the perfect settings sound settings for my vocals, the autotune started working! still not as good as yours but i was working good! do you know why this would happen? and when i turn ozone 11 off, i have nothing. trust me, ive checked everything! everything is on point!

I cut all my vocals with a cheap modeling microphone from antelope audio. I record with the 1073 going into the la2a. I wonder what kinda compression would compliment the la-2a style in a series coming after the la-2a?

[@AUDIONERDY]

The 76 is paired with it

[@SKYJORDXN]

any type of compressor from the disstressor, 1176, tubetech etc just depends on what you want really it’s your world 🌎

[@lovej.a.e6750]

@@AUDIONERDY yea but the 1176 comes first usually cause it has a faster attack time I thought. but who knows maybe it will sound cool

[@SKYJORDXN]

@lovej.a.e6750 there’s really not a rule for the combo it’s not set in stone or anything but remember you can always experiment with different combinations and see what happens and what you like

[@matthaberek]

Bro anything from antelope isn’t cheap unless you got it used man 😁How long you had it ? I been thinking about getting a used one. It seems pretty amazing that their mics can have autotune and other effects running with low latency. How is the latency over all ?if they made a handheld mic that could load effects that’d be the ultimate touring microphone
