Help with my voice

[vaan]

Hello... Im not english, however, I rap in my language. I got lyrics, some beats and stuff like that... however, i just started trying to record some days ago, using cool edit with a comp mic(still dont wanna spend money in a real one). The problem is... my voice just sounds really wack =| what should i do? thz in advance

wack? I dont understand what you mean by that.. Do you mean weak? To be honest with you, your not going to get decent results using the comp mic because...well, its not made for musicians. You could try adding some EQ to your vocals to get it a bit warmer...Maybe normalize the vocals too if its low in level. These are things you can do to try and get it a bit higher, but like i said, your never going to be able to get a quality recording unless you invest in a microphone.

Good luck!

No, it's a slang term for "fucked up"....

Tif is right. You need a decent mic and a pre amp if you want to get decent vocals. The pc mic is good for chatting, but it's not good to sing into, or rap into for that matter.

^^like they if your serious about music, that would be great investment.

yeah, i was planning in getting this one "behringer XM 8500", but i decided to wait a bit before investing in a mic anyways, thz

yeah.....a computer mic will only frustrate you. Even a $30 kareoke mic would be better. Not that I'm suggesting this, just for reference.
