Ok, just wanted to see what some of you experienced people would do in my situation.
I'm recording my band in a loft style room...i have one open area for
the drums, etc....
i only have one seperate room up there, and plan to put my guitarists
amp in the room to isolate it.
i am going to run my bass direct using my sansamp DI.
Now here's the tricky part:
Our singer/guitarist for some reason cant cut the vocals after
the fact, we had a session before, and his vocals turn out
lifeless and boring compared to when we're actually playing the songs.
So the scratch vocal turned out better than the studio vocal as
far as performance and enthusiasm goes....though the quality
of the recording sucked (bleed..etc)
So as of now, i want to experiment with recording the scratch vocal
as is, so i obviously want it to turn out as good as possible.
Short of building an isolation booth, what other things, tips, tricks are out
there to make this work out?
By the way, i'm using a preamp in combination with an SM58 for the vocal.
we're not really PUNK punk...more like Social Distortion kind of punk, and he's not screaming his head off, but he can get loud here and there, and that mic has sounded the best overall so far.
