[MrSharizzle]

[gavpac911]

[cschembor]

[preynman330]

@cschembor ha maybee thats the only rule

[cschembor]

what if i have to take a piss? i like to drink water because it makes my voice crisper (in my opinion) lol

[canvasMC]

this is an EXCELLENT tip.. probably the best I've got from Youtube. I like how this guy says "well I'm glad you asked" .....

[murdok620]

dude u shud make your own channel, stuff e v hahaha

[afcweswarrior]

Man I can't wait to record my new song. Using these techniques.

[mpproductionz]

There is a screen and a keyboard in my booth, just for myself so if i record something i can stay in the booth, makes shit alot faster.

[Skynyrd4224]

Can't spell crap without rap

[Broyale26]

@Skynyrd4224

Can I smell your cock?

[Skynyrd4224]

Can't spell crap without rap

[JPAPERZ]

He full of sh*t.... That always happens even in the industry.... What happens is your engineer makes those differences sound the same in the edit and mix phase.... Expert Village knows nothing

[mtf1984]

@JPAPERZ why put all that extra work on him?

[JPAPERZ]

@mtf1984 Its not putting extra work on him.... Even one word can be thrown in another track.

[mtf1984]

@JPAPERZ Anything CAN be done, but what I'm sayin is, that if you make sure you do it right in the booth, then the engineer won't have to take the extra time to move your vocals around. Editing vocals is a tedius job as it is. I've been rappin/recordin for about ten years, and I'm not trying to say this dude is right, but to say that its okay to just spit some garbage and be like, you just fix it, isn't going to make you any friends. Rappers like that, don't get invited back to my studio.

[JPAPERZ]

@mtf1984 NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY ITS STILL BS....... IVE BEEN RECORDING AND MIXING RECORDS FOR 15 YEARS. THE AMOUNT OF TIME DOING IT WONT PROVE A POINT SO STOP THAT WHOLE 10 YEAR STUFF NOW..... LIKE I SAID BAD POINT TO TRY TO MAKE.......

[mtf1984]

@JPAPERZ Honestly, I don't know why I even replied to your comment in the first place. I'm not tryin to get into a pissing match wit ya bruh. I don't even know who this guy is. I was just clicking videos related to music, came across ya comment and typed the first thing that came to mind. I think we can both agree that this guy was exagerating. Squashed.

[JPAPERZ]

@mtf1984 I agree, Squashed. "Pound it!" (Snoop Dogg Voice in malibu's most wanted)

[Mandem1001]

What mic is that he's using?

[jazmin8188]

ITS ALREADY BEEN A MONTH AND I HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME BOOTH HAHAHAHA I CNT LEAVE TILL I DO IT RIGHT :(

[AllNatural1625]

@jazmin8188 hang it up if you can't do it right in a month bro.... joking or not

[jazmin8188]

@AllNatural1625 UMMM IM A GIRL LOL U CALLD ME BRO...

[LilSwagg4]

[briencrawford]

[jgdominican]

[bandjeans61]

OK!!! I GOTTCHA!!! Whats the next rule???!!!

[oooJOHNY000]

hi, sometimes i like to write songs but ive never recorded and ive never been in a professional studio or anything like that and i dont know that much about recording. so if i go into a professional studio would there be someone thatll kind of help me out i dont mean with the song i mean with recording and tecnical things thanks

[Rey329]

yea theres usually an engineer and they'll help you

[9SkOoBy5LuV4]

Man that's a damn lie . Maybe once in a blue moon your voice might be less winded or on lower pitch after you left the booth, but if the producer truly know what he doing then he'll easily blend your voice back in the rest of the vocals. . . if this a rule, it must only apply 2 beginners or something like that.

[SinSeared]

I thought you said rap recording TIPS not tip.

[komplexkai2009]

Haha 100% true man
