If you aren't used to doing things "on command" be prepared to screw up. Don't let it get you down though, don't let it affect your performance. If you screw up, just say stop.. go back.. lets do that again.. Clear your head and do it again. It's easy to start getting down on yourself when you...

Yeah.. As long as you know ahead of time you're not paying for quality and not expecting it, I don't see a problem. I did the same thing when I started, I got a cheap mbox and an AT 2035. I think the interface was $100 and the mic was $150. It took about 2 weeks before I was complaining about...

I personally am not a fan of those XLR to usb in line adapter things personally but I can't say that it's a bad product as I don't know it. What is your budget?

I have no experience with either of the mic kits there but to answer your other question. You need the headphones so you can listen to the music while you rap. You don't want the mic picking up the music in the background. If you were to leave the vocal unedited/mixed it would probably be ok but...

I know jack all about rap, but the voice sounded fine to me. It sounded kinda flat compared to the beat (not flat as in pitch). Maybe try double tracking your vocals or looking up how rap vocals are recorded/mixed.

This song is definitely not one of my best, I've been messing with it for a while. polarity's sounds on SoundCloud - Hear the world Shows the other stuff I've done, this is probably the worst of it. It just happens to be what I was working at the moment.

I know very little to nothing about this, I would suggest seeing a doctor

Not sure, I will say I am pretty critical of myself. I have gotten good feedback (and some bad). I've gotten much better about it here lately but I still lack confidence (and technique).. I am putting some serious time into learning now though, so hopefully I can fix that.

Yeah.. I dont have the uncompressed version (I'm at work).. this is the really really squished one.. This is also not what I would have as a completed version but it will give you an idea.

It's a very vague question unfortunately. All mics sound different too. I've done a LDC (large diaphragm) and SDC (small diaphragm) together on an acoustic and it sounded pretty good. I prefer using 2 SDC but if that isn't in your budget you could get 1 LDC that can do vocals and guitar. There...

Steeno your inbox is full bud, wont let me send you anything else haha

Lies!

I agree with what he said.. I'm just going to keep agreeing with you agreeing to me...

Completely agree with my main man steeno here =) BTW HI STEENO!!!!!

I use an SSD for my OS/programs a second SSD for my working audio sessions and a regular 7200RPM drive for my storage and finished projects. With the SSD prices right now that's not bad at all. You can get 2 crucial drives (120 & 240) for around $330. Use the 240 for OS/software/etc and the 120...

I will give it a try tonight Farview, thanks!

I won't deny my technique is probably poor. I sing in the shower, or garage when no one is around. Singing into a mic is new, while I try to control my volume while singing by moving back from the mic a little it is still a pretty sensitive mic. I don't have the 1176 or SSL so I can't test...

Yeah I in no way meant to apply that Jimmy gave me some settings and said "you're all set for everything, use this". It's what he did on one song and I was trying to use it as a baseline on others. Maybe I need to start playing with automation instead of doing more with compression. I found...

This would be exactly it. I've struggled with not liking my voice for a long time, even though I love singing. Jimmy and Steeno here on the site have given me tremendous help and confidence. Until I posted a song here no one knew I liked singing. My wife (been together 16 years) had no idea I...

Thanks guys And I am aware that my terms may not always be correct, I was doing the best I could do describe how it felt to me so I could get some feedback. The compressors I got when another member helped me with some stuff I was working on. It is what he likes on a particular song, so I have...
