Thanks for the reply. 1) I get that it is going to be summed to mono but sometimes, I capture the guitar or other instruments using two microphones just to be able to blend the volume of the two to my liking not to really have it as a stereo signal which I pan one L and the other R. does that...

Because then I could compress both channels as one signal? Is there never a time where that would be beneficial? That is the way I do it in my DAW and it sounds good so I just wanted to recreate this in the tracking phase if that makes sense. Also, I could get a mixer for 50 euro or so and a...

Thanks for the reply. I understand. If I was only going to pan both signals to the same place, then could I use different settings on each compressor in mono? Also, is there no way to combine the signals by using a small mixer and then I can just compress the one signal with a mono compressor...

I have a mono compressor which I like to use in my signal chain while tracking acoustic guitar but as time goes by I find myself recording guitar using a spaced pair of SDC's and now I am looking for the ability to compress both signals together before my signals hit my DAW. Up until now, when...

What vowel do you substitute what with? Are you refering to the EE vowel? here is a video that might help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr6baoiyaOI

Yes I did see it thank you. I have actually seen diagrams like these many times. I was hoping to get more educated answers on this thread (no offense to anyone) but it seems all you guys are just guys trying to make music which is awesome but maybe this is not the right forum. Does anybody know...

well that is a very common word on big notes...just think Whitney houston... and I will always love you. I think that I is what made her career. I is an open vowel but it is actually a dipthong because it is "AH" and "EE" at the same time. If you sing it, you need to sustain the "AH" part then...

yes youre right

can you give an example or two please miroslav?

You are very right... you can modify the ee vowel somewhat and it sounds good but up to a certain point. If you want a long sustained ee vowel best use it lower in your range from what I can see in other pro singers

I think most good singers know this and choose their vowels accordingly. It can't just be a coincidence. Also consonants are very important. for example, using the "m" consonant in a word can bring out a lot of resonance which sounds good whereas a word with "p" might sound bad becuase it is a...

When you sing in your passaggio or "bridge" you modify vowels. From what I understand, if you sing closed vowels you will start to modify them sooner than the open vowels so this is why I guess the open vowels are saved for higher up. Is this reasoning right?

I am a baritone and want to write my own songs but am struggling to understand how to make use of vowels in my bridge. I notice that singers whose voices I study that have similar voices use very open vowels on the higher notes of chest voice or in their bridge. This is especially proved true...

Oh and perhaps I should mention The treatments on the walls and in the cloud are double sheets of rigid fiberglass (8 - 9cm in total). The only place I am not using rigid fiberglass is in the superchunk bass traps in the corners as I mentioned above. That is a denser material

Yes I know they don't but the material I used is much more dense than normal rigid fiberglass. It is called "Copopren" and in Spain it is an acoustic absorption material that is superior to Rockwool or rigid fiberglass. I only had that quantity so I used it as best I could. For listening, I...

THanks! I will try that MP3 Clinic. Sounds great. I have spent months on micing my acoustic guitar and it is ok but this room is intended for listening not for tracking. So since they are different, they would require different treatment. Most studios I have worked in have rooms this size or a...

Hi all! I am trying to record guitar and vocals in a 16 X 10 X 8ft space but the results are not what I am looking for.... yet. I want to invest some cash into the room to make it professional sounding but not sure what it needs. Given the dimensions, I am not really thinking a "live" space is...

thanks and you are 100% right, if I could record the songs professionally I should already have such gear at my disposal and would have to have fine tuned my engineering skills. To answer your question, yes I would definitely get hardware... studios that cost $100 000 and up do cost that for a...

I knew that this would be a first reply... Probably should have added this in previous post but lets just assume that I had the knowledge and that was not a factor.... then would you buy the gear or go to a studio with the $3000? Thanks for input!

Hi forum I am a singer songwriter with intermediate sound engineering knowledge and have about $3000 saved for a recording project. I want to record an acoustic album comprising of 14 songs (only acoustic guitar and vocals). Studio recording is expensive but I want professional results so am...
