In both cases, you’ll want a dynamic mic.Ĭondensers and dynamics typically feature a cardioid pickup pattern, which means the mics mostly pick up sounds in front of the capsule, and reject sounds coming from their sides and rear. For vocals, it’s generally best to use a condenser as they are more sensitive and capture detail and nuance however, some singers might need to take hold of a mic to give their best performance or might simply want a grittier sound.
Thank you.I think I can now figure it out with your explanation.Each of these microphones can handle vocal recordings but, for the purposes of this tutorial, let’s focus on low-cost, high-quality dynamic and condenser mics. The way you increase or decrease this level is with the Gain knob on your AudioBox. This is known as "chasing faders" and you will soon run out of headroom and start digital clipping everything, which sounds bad bad bad.ĭarrenporter1 wroteFirst off, you want to make sure you are recording your vocals at about -12dB with peaks no higher than -6dB ( -6dB is louder than -12dB.) Use the channel INPUT meters in Studio One to verify this. What you don't want to do is run into a situation where you are just continually turning stuff up in Studio One to achieve the right balance. The key is balance between the two tracks and your main output levels set on your AudioBox. Once you figure it out, it will just "click" and become second nature. If that doesn't work for you, then there are other things we can do, but that is the way to start to make sure you have optimal recording levels and don't just create problems down the road for yourself. Finally, go back and tweak the balance between the vocal and backing track if needed. Finally, turn the headphone output of your AudioBox up until the overall volume is good. If that is still not enough, turn the level of your backing tracks DOWN until the balance between your vocal and your backing track is right. To increase the level of your vocal that you actually hear in the headphones you raise the fader on channel you are recording onto. First off, you want to make sure you are recording your vocals at about -12dB with peaks no higher than -6dB ( -6dB is louder than -12dB.) Use the channel INPUT meters in Studio One to verify this.
