heres the thing. i know very little about mixing. im am going to make an investment soon in some new equiptment such as a pre amp, new mic, makeshift vocal booth, ect. now my problem is i dont want to get all this new equiptment and not know how to work it. so heres what i wanted help with. help me to train my ears. i can tell when a vocal sound is bad, i can tell when a vocal sound is good (for the most part). the main problem i have is i cannot listen to vocals that sound poor and tell what it is in the recording that is making it sound bad. so i was curious if anyone would be interested in checking out a sample of some vocals recorded on the basic mic im working with right now (recorded in my room) and they can do a few things for me, such as:
1. make them sound "like they should", i.e. fix them up as good as you can using like noise reduction, eq, compressor, whatever the situation calls for.
2. explain to me what it is exactly that you did. once i get a general idea i can begin to experiment and learn how the differences between my original version and your "hooked up" version.
i feel this experiment will not only help me to work with what i have now, but also help to train my ears a bit more on the sound im looking for. if anyone is interested in helping me out please leave your email address and i will upload a sample and email you the link, or (i would prefer this one) if you have aol instant messenger leave your screen name this way not only can i send the file to you directly through the messenger, but i can also talk directly with you and get a better "hands on" feel.
all help is greatly appreciated!
