HOW TO RECORD AND MIX GREAT VOCALS

Description

Vocals tell the story that make the all-important connection between singer and listener, but recording a vocal isn't as simple as just putting a mic in front of someone and hoping for the best.

This book, written in a clear, practical, non-intimidating style, covers all aspects of creating great vocals, including:

How to choose the right mic
Mic placement
Microphone accessories like cables and pop filters
Mic preamps
How to take maximum advantage of composite recording
Editing vocals digitally to prepare them for the best possible mix
Using processors (such as equalisation, dynamics, and time-based effects) during mixdown to enhance vocal quality
Automation
Techniques for layered vocals, and more

However, what makes this book truly special is that it goes beyond technology to include valuable tips and techniques on how to obtain the best vocal performances. Topics include how to connect with listeners, ways to convey a singer's personality, emotional dynamic range, and how to know when a take is the right take.

Loaded with illustrations and featuring the judicious use of sidebars to give details on selected topics for those who want to know why as well as how, How to Record and Mix Great Vocals is the key to transforming raw vocals into satisfying, emotional experiences.
