Well it has been frustrating trying to get that nice full sound from the vocals tracks. My ap is mixing vocals into pre recorded audio (karaoke) I have been able to lay the vocals in the mix pretty good, but I cannot get that rich full sound on the vocals that you hear on the pro CD's. They sound so deep.The music that I use has been already mastered and sounds great. I am all digital and I am wondering... could this be the problem. Must I go to tape to achieve what I want?
If you can bear with me I have some more questions, if not thanks for reading this far.
1.When I add reverb to the vocal track or tracks only, they seem to be doing the backstroke in that big imaginary swimming pool. I am being quite careful on the amount I use.What type of reverbs if any are best? Should reverb be added after the final bounce to two track or to the vocal track or tracks before the final bounce?And do the big boy studios use chorus for that full sound on the vocals?
2.When doubling vocal tracks, how many times do the pros layer the vocals and should you use the singer or computer to do this. How much delay in ms and how much db do you reduce each following track by? any rule of thumbs as I know every recording is different
I have a Sony c48 condenser mic which I have been told is a good mic . Not a Neuman but good and quite accurate. I would like to send one of my recordings to one of you more experienced people by email. If someone would be willing to listen to it and tell me what I may be doing incorrectly and what I may be missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not trying to think I can compete with studios that have millions tied up in recording gear, but I would like to get somewhat close to that sound.Sorry for the long winded question it has been a while. Thanks for your patience.
