Thanks, man! In the clip I posted, I was in a blanket tent - this one is just the evolution of that one. The room I have to record in is not ideal, so I think this is going to make a difference, but we will see. Thanks for the advice about listening to some professional voice over stuff to get...

Well, here's an update for anybody who is interested. Thanks to everyone for their recommendations and advice! I upgraded my headphones from a really old pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M40fs that sounded really harsh and hollow to a set of Sennheiser HD6 Mix, and I am hearing a big difference in...

1st vote for Garageband! It's all I have ever used. Now that I am getting more heavily into home recording, I will be upgrading to Logic Pro X. I know Garageband probably looks goofy compared to the more clinical sleek DAWs out there, but I really like the interface, and it's easy to learn. I...

Lol yep - it's towards the end of my range, but I can get it loud and clear. I am finally embracing my range after years of trying to sing higher, and any new stuff i am writing is down there, as well as older stuff I wrote years ago going down an octave into my comfort zone.

Thanks for taking the time with me! If I turn into a pest, just let me know. It makes sense to have a couple different mics, for sure. Would you recommend the Shure sm7b for a dynamic for work like this? Seems really popular in the industry. I will definitely look into more acoustic...

Thanks very much for the reply! I am definitely a bass when I sing... in my natural register, I can do a pretty convincing Leonard Cohen when I try - which sucks as a coverband singer. By noise floor - do you mean that there was very little background noise? That's what I am shooting for, and...

So my KRK's are bass heavy... dang it! There is a pot on the back to adjust high frequency, but nothing for the lows.

Thanks for the link! I'm checking it out now. And yes - it's the c214. I am fighting the part of me that just wants to take back the mic and get the Neumann because it's a Neumann, if you know what I mean. And thanks for commenting on the clip I posted!

Thanks very much! Listening back to that quick track I recorded, it sounds pretty natural to me as well (diction mistakes and phrasing choices aside) - I guess when I said it was 'bassy' what I meant was it isn't too trebly like I originally thought the mic sounded. I am thinking that my money...

Thanks for the reply! I'm OK with my KRK Rokit 5's for now - but in the future I may look at something better. As far as the SM7b goes, that plus a cloud lifter (or similar, I guess) is on my short list if the AKG c214 doesn't work out. Thanks for the DAW recommendation, as well - I'll check...

Ok - here's a quick take - minimal eq, some compression. What do you think of the sound of this? Pretty bassy, I think.

Is there a way for me to share an mp3 on this forum? I just recorded a quick speaking clip, and the mic doesn't sound too bright to me right now.

A shoot-out would be awesome! I'll check on the RE-20 - I am not familiar with that one. I am in Houston, Texas - where it is currently as hot as the heart of a small sun.

Thanks very much for the advice! My 58 sounds a little weak and dull to me on recordings - I do use it live a lot though. I have researched the Shure 7b, and considered it quite a bit. Might be a good choice! I know that it needs quite a bit of preamp boost - would my Presonus blueTube work well...

Hey, all. I am beginning to try and take my home recording a bit more seriously. I enjoy recording songs I have written, but the real reason for my desire to get back into recording is the fact that I am trying to get some voice-over work, and am starting to record my character and announcer...
