Sam and Meg show us how to record vocals and get the best from your recording.
Do you know your dynamic from condenser microphones? Want to know how to stop vocal popping? What the heck is the proximity effect?
If you're new to the world of home recording, PMTV's "Beginners guide to recording vocals" can hopefully offer you a few tips on how to achieve more professional sounding studio vocals. In this video, Sam and Meg run through the basic gear you'll need, how to set it all up, microphone techniques and how to avoid some of the common problems that can occur when recording vocals.
A microphone, shock mount, pop shield, reflection filter, mic stand and interface is just some of the equipment you're going to need, and we cover it all. Plus, we offer advice on how to reduce sibilance, popping and unwanted background noise, how to improve room acoustics and how to tastefully apply effects to your vocals.
For this video, we're using the SE Electronics X1S studio bundle, as it offers a great sounding, affordable vocal mic, plus most of the accessories that you're going to need. Check it out here: https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/se-electonics-x1-s-studio-microphone-bundle
