i need help mixing vocals because no matter what i do, they always sound as if their totally seperate from the mix.
the music sounds ok, but the vocals just dont blend in like i'd like them too. are there any tricks for this or is it all experience? -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

Yeah some reverb should be good. And you can (should) put the vocals on several tracks. Try compressing them maybe?

Some simple "Rules" to live by when recording vocals:
1. record the performance not the fx. That is record a completely dry (effect-less) vocal track, if you need to use compression to manage the dynamics feel free, but watch for over compression as this can cause pumping or other nasty artefacts in your track. (you can always add effects later if required) 2. Always place the mic on a mic stand and use a popper stopper or sibilance screen as they are sometimes known (example: http://www.coutant.org/popstop/). This will reduce plosives and stop spit clogging up your mic. 3. attach an example track and i can break it down for you. This will help me identify exactly where you are experiencing trouble and help you rectify it. Chris -------------------- |

here some tips...EQ for vocals.... EQ gently with narrow bandwidths. boost(pool your band spot up on the grafix multyband equalizer) 12-15k, 5k, 200-500hz (a bit), cut(pool down) 500hz-800hz (only if needed) If high notes pierce male vocals reduce 900hz, female reduce 3k. to de-ess a vocal----->ther are allso programs for that Deesser...he reduce the amount of the letter S in singing reduce 7k Hi, Nemanja. You or someone else has more tips to record female voices? Another problem I found is that when the singer releases her voice to full power, it saturates. I could not correct this later even with compression. Should I just ask her to sing more far away of the microphone when singing more loud? -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
