I see what your issue was. I realized that the only way the sound would come out boxy for me was because of mic positioning and where I positioned my mouth in relation to the mic. I never keep the mic too far back. It's usually about 2 or 3 inches from the opening. Then I would position my mouth...

I started off writing poetry in Grade school, then decided to become an EMCEE after hearing Redman's first single "Blow Ya Mind". I Always had a penchant for the arts like drawing, creative writing, acting, and music. I became interested in recording my own vocals and making my own beats in 96...

Exactly! I used to be the same way. But I realized it started stagnating me. I was being unproductive. You can't advance or get better if you don't practice or start using your talents more. Look me up sometime on one of my links when you get something done. I might can throw you a few pointers...

That's your mind trying to give you an excuse not to do anything. Think about this...will your neighbors be the final say on what you create? Do they really matter in the long run? Even if you're doing this for fun, who cares what others think? You won't get any better at your craft by sitting...

SN: I do hip hop music. So that's just to forewarn you, but it's about the sound quality right? Not the actual song. Don't worry, I'm a lyricist. Should provide some enjoyment.

If you want to hear how my vocals came out, follow the link in my signature that says The Grimm_Factor. The first 7 songs I did with this setup. There are four more I did with this setup as well. The mic I'm using is a MXL 990...you should be able to use any mic for this setup so long as it fits...

Go to Target/Walmart...somewhere like that. Look for collapsible storage boxes. A 14in x 14 is the perfect size and should only cost about $8-$10. While you're there, look for a mini microphone tripod. Should only cost like $15. Next, go to Guitar Center (or Sam Ash or another music store) and...

Try Mixpad from NCH software. They claim to give you a free trial...but if you start the free trial, then use it for a few days...go to uninstall it, they give you the option of using the software completely free with some components stripped. Its only $50 to buy the license. NCH Software has a...

I'm running with a pair of Tandem Stems I got when working at Apple. These lil puppies are incredible and have a great range however the lows only go but so far before distorting if the tracks are not mastered. Still, I've been recording since 96 so my ears are extremely trained. I had a choice...

Although it was mainly for music production at first, I find that Warbeats is a great site for info about audio production as well. Tons of helpful tutorials with video!

I'm new here and this is the first thing I saw...I voted for monitors and headphones. I have great speakers that I can mix with (Tandem Stems) and get a decent sound but I need that near field monitor experience that can only come from professional studio monitors. My headphones are old, and...
