Its the right side of the mic lol... I am fearing that, that is what I did, I didnt store it at all, it was on the mic stand the whole time... although there was no mositure involved.

My gear is less then a year old. The vocals were pretty clear before, and now they peak way too soon and they distort, and even with the gain on my preamp all the way up, the vocals are low. It can just be a setting thing on my compressor which is what I originally thought, but then again, I...

I have a relatively new set-up, but I havent recorded or used it in anyway for a long time. Well today I try to record and the vocals come out like complete shit.. is that normal, or did I somehow screw up my equipment by not using it for that period of time? I paid alot of money for it so I...

Sorry, it didnt show up the first time I posted it so I posted another, check it out for me please.

This really helps me even though you didnt know the details. Lemme break it down like this.. I am recording hiphop vocals, and my voice volume is up and down, I start out louder and trail off in terms of volume of my voice. I dunno how I would explain my voice, but I will try, its a average to...

I moved my whole set up down to my basement. Vocals are decent actually, but I know for a fact that certain things I am doing arent up to par.. like I dont fully know how to use the compressor... I got the basics, and I am gonna enough to be able to record vocals, but I am not at the point I...

Yeah vocals dont come out right, they are decent quality wise, but still something wrong about them...

Yeah I got a Stedmen metal pop filter, I compared it to a 20 dollar fabric one, and vocals come out clearer. I wouldnt even think of recording vocals without one lol. I had a booth type set up before, it was a really small area, with blankets up, but the vocals came out completely dead, I mean...

Okay, I am trying to record vocals only and my set-up... Dell Laptop Cubase LE GT55 Condenser mic Tascam US-122 VTB-1 Preamp DXL 266 compressor Rokit 5 inch monitors First off, whats the difference between a limiter and a compressor? Would I need a limiter? Any advice on how to optimize my...

I thought the tube was supposed to fatten up the vocals, which is what I was trying to do. Because even though the vocals were good, they were a little thin I guess, I dont wanna say that even, but I think they would sound better with more presence behind them, I was trying to fatten them up a...

Thanks alot, I knew speakers were better but I was just wondering because I heard a few people say really good headphones can do somethings cheaper speakers can. Can anyone recommend some monitors in the 150-200 range that are accurate and get the job done?

I got a problem with my VTB1 as well... it seems like when I turn the nob to the tube pre instead of the solid state, my vocals get weird, real distorted and just messed up. I dunno if my compressor has annything to do with it or not, but I am confused about ti.

Yeah I know speakers are better in the bigger picture but I was wondering for around the same price in the $100-200 range which is better? Really good headphones or low end/decent speakers?

Well if thats the problem... can I fix it? Cause I am still messing with the settings... and I dont wanna NOT use the compressor, you know?

Groove Tubes GT 55 Mic... VTB-1 Preamp... Dbx 166xl compressor.. Tascam US-122... Laptop I record in my basement..

I am getting frustrated with my quality.. I mean it has gotten better with the new equipment I am buying, its still kinda a dissappointment. I tried everything, I tried out so many different set ups, and the one I got sounds the best, but its still kinda blahhhh if you know what I mean. I just...

What you saying sorry for? The more you tell me, the more I understand and I appericate it. So with a High latency, the audio is all on the US-122.. and the 24-bit sound can be optimized then? Because I know it says 24-bit, but I had doubts on it really recording at 24-bit because I didnt seem...

Hey man thanks... that really helped me.. I just always thought that a LOW latency was better then high when recording.. but you are telling me that a high latency is better? will it improve quality at all? Or just stop my comp from stressing?

I dont direct mintor through Cubase at all, so doing them at the sametime is not gonna be a problem and yes I have direct mintoring on the US-122, and its crannked all the way up, so if its supposed to bypass the comp, then my US-122 is the one stressing.

I just wanted to say.. the VTB-1 and Dbx 266xl combination I am usinng is great.. I mean for the price I got them at (250 total) its really giving me quality I wasnt really expecting.. its awesome.
