Bingo......and it can be done.

Where did you come up with this idea that I have said amps have tone without anyone playing them? Huh? Where on Earth did that come from? Did I accidentally post that or something? Where did I suggest that? My apologies if I did. Let me see if I'm clear on this and break this down: Are you...

There is a lot of overthinking going on in this thread. This is incredible. You agree that the same model and brand sounds the same. Thank you. We agree. Then you say I "left out the rest". Their is nothing to leave out. The statement was made and is correct. What you did is change the...

From my perception, everyone else is trolling. Not Lazer. I completely understand what he is saying, I think. And if so, I agree. Everyone else is being overly technical. This discussion kind of falls under the overused myth that "tone is all in the fingers". Not even close. But anyway...

I guess it's probably about time for someone to chime in with "tone is all in the fingers". It won't be me though.

To each his own on how they home record. But for me, I think I'm with LazerBeakShiek on this. I used to subscribe to the idea of never listening to tracks in isolation. Until I found a site with isolated tracks of popular songs throughout the past 40 years or so. I've learned A LOT through...

Funny this thread popped up just as I'm about to try compression on my vocal going in for the first time. I'm with you on not wanting to work in analogue any longer. Especially in regard to mic'ing amps. However, for vocal, for the first time I am going to give it a try. I thought I would...

I'm just a home recording guy but I love double tracking lead vocal (as well as backing). Primarily because I don't have a strong vocal. I've been doubling since the 90's with analog recordings. The first thing I always notice that is always problematic is the variation of the volumes. It can...

Melodyne. Although I've never used it for this purpose, I understand that it can be used for this, and harmonies, etc. etc. Can be expensive depending on what version you get, but it's well worth it imo.

After my last post I thought to myself... "I think I'm doing what is known as "hi-jacking a thread"'...….. My apologies to Seventh Son and anyone else. It wasn't my intention. I only felt a need for a discussion or a minor debate after ecc83's post. But then he came back and clarified. My...

Miroslav, thanks for your rant. Nothing wrong with a rant every now and then. Myself included. I liked what you said in your original post to ecc83: "...so it's really a matter of personal preference, without an absolute answer." Maybe both you and I should have just stopped there. Because...

For those that mic their amps for home recording, I love you for it. For myself, I use modeling, and I love myself for it. I'm pretty lazy and not nearly as intelligent as the amp mic'ers because I simply "cannot quite cut it". But what I REALLY enjoy is NOT having to pick my 80 lb AC30 amp...

Just my 2 cents: If you already know, as I do and has already been mentioned, that with all of the limitations to recording ANYTHING in a typical home studio environment that you will have in comparison to professional studios, then is mic'ing an amp all that important? I understand that we...

I don't have advice on this subject really, just a comment of my taste (or lack thereof). Maybe it's simple nostalgia with me, or age, or both...but I love the recording panning techniques from about '65 thru 75'. I love the bizarre hard panning (vocals hard left, drum kit hard right, etc...

I understand that there are many who don't like double tracking vocals. Especially this day and time. And I am definitely one of those recordists with indeed a very weak voice that tries to cover it up by doubling. It does help me I think (I need all the help I can get), but I'm just a...

Thanks to all of you responding to me with your thoughts. Honestly though, I probably am indeed imagining what I think I'm hearing in the differences. And like Mixsit said, I'm sure the differences in performances are certainly a problem. I have read about the technique of duplicating the...

Although this being my first post, I've been reading these forums for years and have gained and appreciated the knowledge here. I have just an observation and a question about doubling a lead vocal. I know the subject has been beat to death to some degree perhaps, but anyway... I like throw...
