Yes the last song I recorded had a ton of words beginning with s, I was ripping my ears off with them . Never been a problem with me before to this extent. I am experimenting with mic placement which seems like it may help however I also am more conscience of my s words now so that may be...

Bump, Wow 195 views and only one response, I guess the Rhode NT1A must be the cats a##.

I tested my vocal shield today a bit, This is is far from a scientific test just my ears. I bought the Neewer one that is 65.00 Not the large one but not the real small on either. I was not expecting much and I think that is about what I got. Frankly I think there are better ways to design these...

Looking for advice on a good reasonably priced [ if there is such a thing] vocal mic. Mainly for a male average singer [me]. Country and ballads. I am using an AKG C3000B tracking into a Tascam 2488 then exporting 24 bit files into Reaper for mix with more Waves plugin's than an amateur should...

Automating between lines is probably a good idea, I think the pro's do that. Just need to be sure I don't chop off reverb tails. Also a good idea to do that on all tracks. Mute, remove or bring the volume all the way down on any section of any track when it is not playing.

Close to the mic for me is I have my pop filter mounted about 2 to 3 inches from the mic and I sing around 2 to 3 inches away from that. A total of around 4 to 6 inches maybe 7. I don't think that is too close. I am recording so my overall peak levels are around -10 to -8 db. And they hang...

I ordered the Sennheiser's and that and the vocal shield should be here Friday we will see how much difference it makes. All of this being said, I would trade all of it for clean vocal takes with great phrasing, interpretation and almost perfect pitch.It really is tough to ruin a great vocal...

Thanks I was looking at the Sennheiser's, will probably go with those. I still try to use all of the home recording tricks, 1. Don't turn the mic up any further than you have too, 2. Sing as loud as you can without ruining the performance, 3. Sing as close to the mic as possible which helps 1 &...

I did not realize the K240M's were considered semi-open. My next question is what would the best totally closed headphone be. A lot of studios use cheap headphones because musicians are not all careful with them and they break them all the time. I can afford a decent pair, open to suggestions.

Another thing I have noticed on some of my vocals is that my headphones are leaking into the mic. Phones are AKG K240M [older good ones made in Austria,] and the mic is an AKG C3000B large condenser [ I know not the greatest mic but there are a lot worse]. That mic is really hot. I am even...

Can anyone recommend a good lightweight microphone isolation shield. I see several on the market. Are some better than others or are they all pretty much the same. Also will lightweight boom mic stands hold these things. They look like a good idea or is it just a gimmick. I will never have a...

As of 11am I heard nothing so I sent customer service and email, within an hour I had my license and activated and installed it by 1pm for the original purchase price, A crazy, crazy deal. I am so happy they honored it I went back and bought a few more plugin's from them Thanks miro, I don't...

Yes I did get a receipt from them via email. I am concerned because several hours after I purchased my bundle the sale price went up by 100.00. I'm concerned they may not honor the price I purchased it for. My account status says License delivery pending.

I sure hope I don't run into a problem with them because I have been waiting for this bundle to go on sale for a long time and I really need it. I'm kind of regretting just not buy it from Waves for a bit more. If they back out of the deal I hope I don't miss the sale at Waves or I will be...

Just checked nothing yet I bought the Restoration Bundle. Nothing for me yet.

Anyone know how long it takes them to deliver licenses after purchase and do they do it through Waves Central?

I guess I will have to answer this one for myself and others when I get both plugins, waiting for a sale.

You may be right about Frank, And many of the other early Abbey road Brit bands. Other singers like Adele have recorded there in recent years and way back in the days of Sinatra plate reverb was a large studio standard everywhere. Abbey Road is famous for other things like reel ADT for doubling...

Well I guess I will reply to my own post since I bought the Abbey Road Plates Bundle from Waves. It defiantly is different from what I am used to. Actually I have had good luck with Waves Renaissance reverb which is one of their least expensive so go figure. I think the plates is for a more...

Does anyone here have both and an overall opinion which is better. Z noise is supposed to be the newer more advance version yet X noise is 300.00 more. I have used X noise { an older version from about 10 years ago} with good results but hate to spend more than I have to. I really wish the...
