I've wanted to do something like this for a very long time, because my vocals would always come out buried. Now I can bring them right out front.
Yes on this test track I did the vocals and guitar parts at the same time and mixed it to get the vocals out front. I'm still getting to know these...
Here's a test recording of the stereo guitar and vocals.....notice how the vocals are right out front.. that's what I wanted...
Remember this is a raw recording with no effects or EQ applied.

Ya it's pretty deep when you get right up to the mic. Granted though you don't get 100% isolation, but it's good enough where you can bring up the vocals in the mix, and that's what I was shooting for. The SM7b and the Cloudlifter CL-1 are a very powerful combination that sounds awesome on my...
I want to get rid of as much bleed as possible, hence the foam. Yes it does make a difference I can see it in the mixing phase. Yes angling the vocal mi up is something I do when recording vocals, at the time of this picture I had just tried recording the guitar with all three mics. I just...
That's the problem, I don't want to record the vocals and guitar separately. In my songs the vocals and guitar tend to play off each other, playing them separately would lose the vibe.
The guitar mics are mounted on a 12" stereo bar, with one mic on the 12th fret of the neck and the other on...
Well, Sweetwater has Mogami cables 25', XLR connectors...$69 bucks and change for each. I need three, that would cost me about $210 dollars. That's way out of my budget. So Monoprice it is.
The price for the 25'-XLR cables with the gold plated connectors was only about $10.12 bucks apiece...that's about as cheap as they get. They look like good cables, they're 16 gauge. They should be good enough for light usage in my home studio.
Hi, I'm new to this forum....I wanted to share with you my home recording rig I recently put together. It starts out with an Auralex MudGuard mic shield with a moving blanket clamped on it. It has three mics, a Shure SM7b with a CloudLifter CL-1 signal booster for vocals, and two Neumann TLM...
Thanks for the Monoprice suggestion, I needed three 25'- XLR cables for my new recording rig, and they had them very reasonable with gold connectors. I ordered three. Should be here early next week. :)
Regarding mics...
Hi everybody I'm new here. Harvey I recognize you name from somewhere in my internet travels but don't remember where.
I have a small home studio, I'm running Sonar Platinum. In the last few weeks I've doing mic tests and have upgraded my mic collection. I bought 2- Neumann...
