    Metallic Vocals: Anyway to Diminish?

    I use Adobe...I'll have to see what I'm dealing with because all I really grasp about EQ is the Hi, Mid & Lo simple tweaking of positives and negatives, haha. I have dynamics processing, hard limiting and reverb effecting the vocals. I know I've seen the language you used, I'll just have to find...

    Metallic Vocals: Anyway to Diminish?

    Lol at the Hed Pe reference. And yes, I'm the opening and closing guy. What do you mean by "two voices together?" Are you talking about the chorus with vocals and cuts/scratches (which are Beastie Boys and RATM samples)? I'll add some more low end on my vocals...should I keep the mids as is...

    Metallic Vocals: Anyway to Diminish?

    My vocal delivery on this particular song was more rambunctious, so it's part that and the room I'm recording in (not ideal by any means). Some times it works, some times it doesn't, just depends on the delivery. As for the other MC, he recorded elsewhere on on a different mic. The thing is...

    Metallic Vocals: Anyway to Diminish?

    I've been mixing this track for some time now that's been giving me trouble. The trouble is, the other MC's vocals are clean and clear, but mine sound metallic, more compressed, and less clear. I have the same effects applied, so it's obviously originating from my recording spot. I've been EQing...

    Adobe 3 Slow Playback

    The thing is, it seems it depends on the effects used. I can have a session with 12 tracks that runs smoothly, and one with 8 that runs slower. It's a real pain, especially since I have a music computer made for recording. There's plenty of memory and room.

    Hip hop - Vocals & Cuts - Comments

    What do you mean by 3k mark? 3rd hook? I'll boost the lo-range on the beat, but unfortunately I'm using a instrumental track whose original session was lost by the beat maker's failed hard drive, so that's all I can think of to do to add bass. As far as the room, I have most back up vocals...

    All This Restraint: I would love some feedback on this mix.

    I like the second mix much better. More space and reverb...sounds pretty good.

    Hip hop - Vocals & Cuts - Comments

    Looking for comments on the vocal qualities between myself and the other MC. Balanced? Secondly, during the hook "Triumph is beyond live..." does it carry enough, or are the vocals too dry? Also, the cuts (turntablism/scratches) - are they too loud, too low, etc...

    Help mixing Hip hop track with different MCs/microphones

    Thanks, I really like the constant sound rich in mids reference idea. Never thought of that before. I've spent some time now muting the music to hear just the vocals, which is how I've even gotten remotely close with the vocal levels. I'll try on your advice.

    Anyone want to give constructive feedback on this song?

    I like how this sounds...just "Liked" it (musicbyproseed). I agree with above...maybe a little more boom from the bass and drums. Other than that, mixed very well.

    Help mixing Hip hop track with different MCs/microphones

    Every single MC, including myself, is on a different mic on this track, so I'm basically looking for help with tweaking the EQ levels and dbs. I've cut the chorus part out so that referencing the various vocals is easier. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks...

    Help with the Chorus, Please

    I like those ideas...I actually ended up adding different vocal tones and I think it sounds better...the production/instrumentation was not done by me, and was part of a collection of tracks whose original framework and sessions were lost, but I may be able to add some stuff myself. You didn't...

    Help with the Chorus, Please

    My bad, I forgot the demo cut faded out so quickly...bad example. I'll give those ideas some consideration, play around with the vocals again. Thanks so much for the help and compliments.

    Help with the Chorus, Please

    In particular, I'm wondering if the chorus sounds too flat and what I can do to resolve that, make it fuller, etc. This is only a minute or so (demo). Chorus is at the end. https://soundcloud.com/musicbyproseed/heroes-anymore-demo Any advice, comments appreciated. Thanks.

    Getting started!

    Really depends on the genre/room required. I do hip hop...don't need much, although I'd like more and would like a room dedicated to it, or at least partially dedicated to it, if I had the room.

    PC or Mac for recording?

    Never used a Mac...for all the crap PCs take in terms of criticism in this area, I find it's the program/software that really counts. I use Reason, which is very intuitive and easy to work with, and Adobe (before that Cool Edit) and think it works great, despite some slow responses in playback...

    Adobe 3 Slow Playback

    Anyone know of some ways to improve the timeliness of playback on Adobe? Some sessions take 15-20 seconds to start. freezing tracks rarely helps from my experience.
