Singing : How To Make The Vocals Stand Out Cleanly In A Track
I'm mixing down freshly recorded rock songs. The backing track sound pretty good but I'm having trouble getting the vocals to stand out like they do in professional recordings. The reverb seems to swamp the sound. EQ seems to make it tinny. Occasionally I get very close on specific tracks, but I'd like to know if anyone has any secrets...? ~~~ Alyosha ~~~
Best Answer To Singing Question
one part of the answer is using a compressor - this basically levels the volume of the vocal, so that quiet bits are heard, and loud bits not too prominent. If you're using a sequence they usually have presets, but basically look for the meter that says Gain reduction, or some such, and bring the threshold knob down till this is reading about 3 db Another part is the eq of the backing. there's a tendency to make everything sound blinding, leaving no space for the vocal. in rock, guitars can really swamp the voice cos of similar freq range. you can listen to you vocal's strongest freq and just take a very gentle scoop out of the backing that is masking the voice. finally reverb - don't use much - just enough to put it in a space. Have fun and hope this is some help TG

Answer 2get audacity.
Answer 3you really have to sing very loud and clear. the music in the back usually stands out more than the lyrics so your not the only one just keep working on it and try sining to song like you would in the recording studio!
Answer 4What kind of Mic are you using, what are you recording on, I use a ROLAND BR-900, If you use something similar I can give you the parameters for the EQ that I use, it may get you close to something you can better work either way make sure you record your vocals dry, then add the reverb, and try to balance the amount of reverb you use on your lead track and your backing vocal track, other wise when the back up vocals come in, they will clash with the lead track. Also keep a log of all your EQ,s This is how I do it example: vocals tracks 7/8 high lows 12/ chorus 15 low lows 12/600 reverb 35 high highs 12/600 volume 5 low highs 12/800 This is just an example, but it makes it easier when you get close to a sound you like so you don't have to start from scratch. I do this with every track I record. It also helps when after you bounce, if your drums or bass is too soft or too loud you can erase the bounced tracks and re-EQ everything without having to guess what the initial EQ was. Hope this helps, let me know if you have a BR-900 I am pretty good at working that thing. good luck.
