vestast, you're starting to come through for me, even though it's basically just links to blue bear articles....they're still very helpful, thanks. Chibi Nappa, I was not familiar with sweeping the EQ before now, thanks, I will definitely have to try that. On another note, I just learned more...

Vestast, no problem. You were much more helpful than the criticism I was getting in the other thread. I think part of the problem was my delivery. I delivered it as if I was looking at a preamp, but I was actually trying to ask if I needed one for the time being. I looked at the...

Thanks, so far you've been a lot of help. I've found the C01 to be better for vocals than the C1000. The Samson is a very inexpensive condenser mic, but I don't think it's the source of my problem. It probably does add to it though. I think my problem is in EQ'ing. Would an SM58 be...

This is definitely something I can look into. I've read articles about people recording vocals in a shower stall, and even tried it before. I can try several different rooms. Are you familiar with the VM-3100 Pro? On the pre-amp end does it seem capable of producing decent vocals? That's...

rigid fiberglass???

Okay....thanks....this is helpful. But I can't afford monitors. If I can't wait until I have the money to buy monitors, how might I improve my vocals even though I'm listening through headphones. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought maybe I could get a decent pre for a couple hundred bucks. The...

I am using inputs 1 and 2 for vocals. I use a Samson C01 for the vocals. I had the same problem borrowing a friend's AKG C1000, though. Maybe the problem is in the mics, but I have a feeling that the biggest problem is that I'm recording my own voice, and that makes it hard for me to EQ it...

That's exactly my point. What you hear a mix through doesn't mean your mix will only sound good through a similar environment. I don't mix in this manner, I just check my mixes through different systems, since I can't afford monitors and have to mix through headphones until I can afford...

I posted a thread before, but didn't really turn out to be too helpful. I hope this time I'll get better results. Read the post from earlier today to see my equipment. I want my vocals to sound better when I record them. They usually sound muffled or muddy. I'm hoping I can improve them...

If this were true, then what sounds good through your monitors will only sound good through a set of monitors in a similar room. Using a few different environments and systems for reference are no comparison to monitors, you'll never get as good of a mix. But my point is that no mix will ever...

chess, I totally understand where you're coming from. maybe you misunderstood my point in the first place. I know monitors are the route to go. I intend to get some when I have the money. But at the moment, all I have is headphones and regular stereo systems to listen through. What I'm...

I'm not set on anything. I'm looking to improve vocals when I record them. I know my method at the time being is not the most convenient, but wasting maybe 10 CD-R's listening to different mixes through regular soundsystems is a lot cheaper than dropping a grand on a pair of monitors. It...

please don't edit out most of what I said in an attempt to make me look like an ass. thanks

I'm not using monitors, I'm listening through headphones. I don't have the budget yet for monitors, and I figure headphones are better for the time being....considering the significant difference in price. I'm also not afraid to burn a mix to CD and play it on a few different stereos to see...

Hi everyone. I recently looked over some of the board and found a lot of great information. This place is great. I just registered today. I have a few concerns about preamps. First off, I'll give you a brief rundown of what I'm using. I have a Roland VM 3100 Pro, using logic to record...
