    Vocal Recording and Mixing Advice for Pop Punk / Rock

    I do have an SM58, and I've tried recording off of that before awhile back. I remember hating the results, but I don't recall why, lol. And that's 2 thinking the cymbals are a bit too much in the mix - I'll have to see what I can do to lower that (and while I don't remember, I bet I did just...

    Vocal Recording and Mixing Advice for Pop Punk / Rock

    Thank you Papanate for the listen! Are there specific sections that sound notably off? I also wanted to ask generally in regards to re-recording: how many takes does one recommend? For this track I just did 1 take, with the exception of the quiet chorus at the end which took probably...

    Vocal Recording and Mixing Advice for Pop Punk / Rock

    Hey, thank you so much for the listen and the advice here! This is all extremely helpful. I am currently about what you are thinking too - mix 1 was too wet, especially on the chorus. I think the 2nd mix was better overall, but I'm currently looking for that happy medium between 1 and 2...

    Vocal Recording and Mixing Advice for Pop Punk / Rock

    Thanks for the input! No need to feel annoyed about which you prefer. I've almost always mixed my stuff in my own isolated bubble, so it's just nice getting different perspectives. And I wish my voice was naturally more on pitch too, lol, but that's why I do simple pop-punk style (Green...

    Vocal Recording and Mixing Advice for Pop Punk / Rock

    OK. Here is the track with completely dry vocals. No EQ, compression, anything (I did my best to adjust volume levels to balance, but it's hard without compression). Thank you again for listening and helping me with the mix. Let me know if you have any specific thoughts as to what in the...

    Vocal Recording and Mixing Advice for Pop Punk / Rock

    Sure thing. I will post. To confirm, keep the EQ, DeEsser, Compression, Saturator, and Reverb; lose everything else?

    Vocal Recording and Mixing Advice for Pop Punk / Rock

    Hello, 2nd post ever here - 1st one was last month, saying how I'm gonna start working on re-recording vocals on projects I had started 8+ years ago and looking for advice. I am a solid way through re-recording my first one and was hoping to get input on the process I am using, as I am trying...

    "Getting Back Into It" - Tips on revisiting old projects / how to get back into recording.

    Thank you for the advice and taking a listen. I'll have to look into the sale. I really like Cubase, as it's what I grew up with since high school, but Garageband seems quite good too and can't complain with free. As far as the cheap/free plug-ins, if you have 1 or 2 you'd highly recommend to...

    "Getting Back Into It" - Tips on revisiting old projects / how to get back into recording.

    Awesome, thank you for the advice! I much prefer re-recording each part at a time then hanging too heavily on auto-tune as well (if I remember, I previously used it for some of the backup vocals, but not for lead). Vocal tone is part of the cringiness for me, for sure, but like you and...

    "Getting Back Into It" - Tips on revisiting old projects / how to get back into recording.

    Hello. Context I have taken a 6+ year break from music. Previously, I had wrote a little over 100 songs and worked on the 20 or so I thought sucked the least and fleshed them out in Cubase 7. Besides 1 very small coffee shop style performance and 10 songs I posted on SoundCloud but basically...
