You get a mic set up, the artist stands in front of it, and you&#8217;re ready to go&#8230;While this is the basic set-up, there&#8217;s a bit more to it if you want to get the best recordings you can. A great sounding vocal is the cornerstone of modern rock, pop, and country music, so you&#8217;ll want to get it right!<\/p>\n<h4>1. The Room Matters<\/h4>\n<p>No matter what you do, if the room sounds terrible, your recordings will suffer. Vocals should be recorded as dry as possible, so it&#8217;s generally best to avoid spaces with a lot of natural reverb or highly reflective surfaces. Contrary to popular belief, you&#8217;re also better off avoiding closets. Unless you want your vocals to sound like\u2014well\u2014they&#8217;re recorded in a closet.<\/p>\n<p>In totally untreated rooms, frequencies bounce around and subsequently amplify each other or cancel each other out. This is called comb filtering\u2014when charted, the frequency response shows sharp peaks and troughs resembling a fine tooth comb\u2014which makes your vocal recordings sound thin and out of phase.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to avoid comb filtering and unwanted reflections is through <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/acoustic-treatment-home-studios\/\">acoustic treatment<\/a>. At the very least, treating the first reflection points in your room and placing your artist near <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/how-to-make-acoustic-panels-for-your-studio\/\">acoustic panels<\/a> will greatly help with the overall vocal sound.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, you want the room to be dead, but not so dead that the recordings take on an unnatural quality.<\/p>\n<h4>2.

Do you want reverb or delay in your headphones?<\/p>\n<p>If they don\u2019t have their own headphones and you have more than one set, let them try different models out. Some singers may want a brighter sounding headphone, and some might want something with more bottom end. Give them what they need in the headphones so that they can perform comfortably.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Make Sure the Singer is Comfortable<\/h4>\n<p>Read the room and know your artist. Pay attention to little things, like the temperature or lighting in the studio.<\/p>\n<p>The singer may like the lighting brighter so they can read their lyrics, or darker so they can feel a little more isolated. They might want the band to be there watching them and giving them feedback on their performance. They might want to be alone so they can focus on the emotion of the song and lyric.<\/p>\n<p>Recording vocals effectively is very much about making artists feel at ease. You can do so by having everything set up for them before they begin to record and communicating once you begin. For extra brownie points, you can have some drinks\/snacks ready and waiting!<\/p>\n<h4>4. Choose the Right Mic<\/h4>\n<p>There are hundreds of microphones out there. If you&#8217;re just starting out, you might only have 1 or 2 at your disposal for recording vocals. If the singer is up for it and time permits, do a shootout between them and find the one that you both think sounds the best. Or, record into both at the same time and choose later.<\/p>\n<p>Before you even invest in a vocal mic, though, do the research. Chances are you&#8217;ll want a bit of an all-arounder that can handle other instruments too.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Manage Plosives\/Sibilance On the Way In<\/h4>\n<p>Recording vocals means managing frequencies in the human voice. Exaggerated \u201cp\u201d and \u201cb\u201d sounds, called plosives, create popping sounds on a vocal track. In speech we don\u2019t even notice them, but when the acoustic energy of a plosive hits a microphone diaphragm, it\u2019s obvious.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44523 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3.jpg\" alt=\"The Basics of Recording Vocals_3\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-40x27.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-15x10.jpg 15w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-14x9.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/The-Basics-of-Recording-Vocals_3-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pop filters<\/strong> are simple devices designed to reduce the energy behind plosives. You\u2019ve probably seen them as a round mesh circle attached to a mic stand, separating the vocalist from the mic itself. They can also be built in on certain specialized shock mounts.<\/p>\n<p>They do a decent job of minimizing the biggest pops. Better yet, they&#8217;ll keep your vocalist from eating the mic capsule!<\/p>\n<p>Literally on the other end of the spectrum is sibilance: the harsh\u00a0\u201cs,\u201d \u201ct,\u201d and \u201cch\u201d sounds\u00a0that the mic picks up when recording. Some voices are more sibilant than others, but there\u2019s a little bit of it in everyone.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, dealing with sibilance in the mix is most common, using a bit of surgical EQ and de-essing. But, you could also <strong>have the vocalist sing slightly off-axis to the capsule<\/strong>. This technique works on plosives as well.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s even another old trick which is to\u00a0rubber-band a pencil to the microphone vertically across the capsule. The idea behind this is that the highest sibilant frequencies are split in half, diverting them away from the diaphragm. Try it out if you\u2019re struggling to reduce sibilance when recording vocals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zl-2xMe5iEg\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"6 Vocal Recording Tips - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro\" title=\"Play video &quot;6 Vocal Recording Tips - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zl-2xMe5iEg<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zl-2xMe5iEg\" title=\"6 Vocal Recording Tips - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro\">6 Vocal Recording Tips &#8211; Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zl-2xMe5iEg)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recording vocals seems like it should be pretty simple.
