lol so i take it this isn't the place to get tips on improving home recording of rap vocals?
guess i won't be here for long then
This forum, like HR as a whole, is definitely the place to get tips on recording anything. I was just ranting on the pitiful state of this particular, pointless, part of it that seems to be made just to trap one specific group of noobs (as if "What's the best mic for rap vocals" is any better than "How do the black keys get those horribly shitty sounding recordings").
(Lol. Link to that particular gem...)
Anybody who's getting into recording, regardless of genre - can go to these places here for help with vocals:

People in those forums are friendly and really help everybody, and those topics completely cover every aspect of what goes into a hip-hop recording. This subforum existing is just...pointless - and kind of embarrassing / awkward to even look at. The moderators don't even delete the spam in here, ffs.
But def don't leave, dude - just don't ask real questions right here in the "hip hop" part. You'll get one ear full of bullshit and the other packed with fruity-loops spam.
Also - you like my tag, huh? Lol - I wish we had those here. I might suggest that to our overlords.
