Recording the Vocals in Your Home Recording Studio

[glazinq]

I was just saying to my wife today after a recording session, it's just as well I have a crap condenser mic to record my vocals. "Why?", she asked. Well just listen to all the birds, crickets, lawnmowers etc out there!

I see, or should I say hear, you have the same problem. Dude, we both need a vocal booth real bad!

[almontage]

I hope one day my home recordings sound this dope. Good stuff!

[croan08]

lmao jim morrison doing new age lesons lmao

[ItsLookingRatherGrim]

I can see that being a number 1 hit.

Im feeling the beat, the dirty bassline - and the vocals? Yeah!!!!

[renedencher]

[LILALPIMPIN]

[clickswitchh]

Iv never cringed so hard in a long time

[PerfectSoundRS]

Ableton Live is not for recording professional music you silly. Ableton Live is about making demo tracks.

[KeepkrewBeats]

[2009korte]

[kaceywild]

[themainman2008]

[bridson10ak]

[Qwertzytamine]

"Wonna know how to record your vocals at home? Just press the record button and sing into the microphone, you stupid pussy!"

Man, this is the crapiest tutorial I ever seen.

[The1Gani]

1:30 .. fail 

[basicnative75]

did you record this at about 7 pm? or 7 am? I can never tell the time by the birds outside.

[kkolorexx]

that tune sounded like "personal jesus - depeche monde"

[Qwertzytamine]

@kkolorexx

Except the fact that this tune is MUCH BETTER!

[barbedorion69]

@dreamstwice dont worry. thats what Autotune is for. he could be the next lil wayne with that shit

[2pacster1]

that beat sucked

[kafrances]

are you still living at your MOM basement?

[TheRuffles111]

Thumbs up for ABLETON LIVE!

[NEJANBIRCH]

@TheRuffles111 thought the same thing!

[elmoman86]

Dude, are you using open headphones when recording vocals? That's almost as bad as leaving your speakers on while recording... -_-

[Maxxlenoxx]

It always amazes me when people post videos on how to record at home... they just film the part where they push record and sing !!!

[LPOfficialTV]

hey mate i got a rode nta 1 with m audiofast track pro interface could you help me get vocals sound professional as im confussed and ask alot of people but no one helps lol

[JewHawks]

just a short bit of a part...?

[dreamstwice]

I hope you don't depend on singing for a living....

[RichiBitch]

but how is the singing quality that good? when i record mine it totally differs the guitar quality :S

[seanbro92]

Hi man! What's your setup? more specifically, what's your mic and audio interface?? thanks!, i' m recording at home with 2 average level mics, a sontronics stc-2x and a stc-10, and i'm going to buy a focusrite saffire liquid interface, for me the best interface of it's level and it's price! just ask for a compare :)

[YaBoyKPAY]

[DontLookBack28]

[IPODtOuChsorce]

Those headphones have some bad bleed!



[djstevet09]

[zatoichiable]

Please give me simplest advise how to set the mic gain for recording. Should I max the gain in preamp and reduce the ouput gain? and whats the EQ setting to get silky voice. Thanks

[donniebangout]

where should my levels be for beat and vocals

[CetwinBrothers]

I find this hard to masturbate to this...

[Riotman898]

@CetwinBrothers What makes you think that would be easy with this video?

[iTroozTrooperDown]

@CetwinBrothers *it.

[didubz]

Cool little video.. and you are very right.. The learning curve can tend to get pretty intense as you strive for AMAZING SOUND!!!! Great vid for the newbies

[CoGnAcDiPpEd1]

[OfficialSovietRussia]

Jerking off at home at night its so EASY!

[MrPawillie]

[Kid123Aus]

[gregmoontellyahh]

hi buddy can you give some advice im planning to build up a studio like yours but i dont know what do i need. can you tell me the equipment that i have to buy to get a recording studio like this. cause i really love to sing and record my voice but for now i just use my laptop. and it really sounds bad.. as in totally bad.. can you send your advice to my email mavericksssss2001@yahoo.com

[muggidon]

[hallobaaaby]

[WOB1010]

YOURSELF AT HOME,YOURSELF AT HOME...YOURSELF AT HOME...Its so so easy...So so so easy

[fucut00b]

u hook a mic to ur computer. get sum recording software and press record. I dont understand the purpose of this video i mean if u dont kno that then u need to jus give it up cause its not for u. I knew this when i 1st started recording with a computer it was common sense. See if ur realli into makin music then u already kno all about it from just doin wat u do. Not everyone shud be makin music at home jus cause they seen eminem on tv and got motivated.

[Haloegen]

@fucut00b omg youre so right xD

[benja303]

@fucut00b it's not as straight forward as it seems, trust me.

[smoodybaby]

[Uzi093]

[alinalin0]

@Uzi093 get better headphones :)

[Uzi093]

@alinalin0 i was messing with it and like i can make the beat go on both headphones and the mic but how is the right way its supposed to be??



[Kid123Aus]

wow, i don't like this dude, but it's soooooo eaaasssyyyyyyyy to reeeeecord your self at home!

[EduardoGamboa123]

hell yeah late night is when all the magic happens

[MrKingoftheeast1]

Now THAT'S a prime example of why autotune was invented.

[frankyrocksmyrocks]

wanna record yourself at home? download some pirated software and plug a shitty mic into your stock sound card.

[darcy2345]

yupp.. that sure sounds like a bass line

[JZA022]

[DAFOExMUSICxTMC]

[iMarvinsong]

hahahaha Is So Easy..... i cant belive....... very very funny this fat XD

[AtOddsBand]

What mic/ interface are you using?



[chasingdeathforlife3]

what model to your speakers



[JohnSAitken]

I would suggest that the recording is made in an other location other than the same room as the computer.

I can hear your computer PSU in the background. I'm listening on crappie laptop speakers

[BrianStirohMusic]

I will make a remix if anyone wants me to. Thumbs up

[vinny460]

[wallacelux]

@educassiano

[CaptainDrumstick]

"See how the experts do it" - What expert? Expensive audio gear does not an expert make.

[therealdprince]

@CaptainDrumstick At least he knows how to speak lol.

[alphasxsignal]

Looks like he doesn't get out much. Hey get off the computer and take a walk.

[SirRobertDole2]

That song is the audio equivalent of 9/11.

[Canniman]

If this was a single, I'D BUY IT!!!

Imagine:- "And the Grammy goes too..... Fat Bearded Check Shirt Man for 'Its Easy to Record Yourself at Home!!!'

[MrJackanthony]

[911Shred]

[xxxindierockerxxx]

[payne5947]

@xxxindierockerxxx If your not doing something your gonna put on the radio...or wanting to become an amazing engineer or something...just use mixcraft...its simple and pretty decent

[bloweelo]

personal jesus remix?

[iNewmusic23]

So when I switch my soundcard to the Asio drive in Fl Studio, I get a really loud noise from my speakers, which are plugged in through the headphone jack on my laptop. Why is that? I'd really appreciate it if you could help, thanks...

[SoundBytesStudios]

Wouldn't call him MY next client, but he has the technique right.

[Metallicafanfrom93]

you're nervous while singing, but you gotta learn how to tune yourself....dont matter the pitch of your voice, what matters is that its fully ''in tune'' you sounded way too nervous...take it easy

[therealfactor]

@Metallicafanfrom93 Did you not listen to the fucking words you stupid bastard? It's a fucking educational video on recording in ableton --not a fucking singing tutorial. Dumb fuck.

[stripes5150]

when is this song coming out on record? let me know please!

[rhaflife]

he´s using ableton live, easy to use

[Remain0]

Your videos are very helpful. Would know how to stop or decrease the static or buzz I am getting in my studion monitors? Set up is M-Audio Fast Track, into an HP laptop, the fast track has RCA outs, to my Mackie MR5 monitors. Plugged into the 1/4 balanced in back of the monitors. (using adapter form RCA to 1/4 jack). Thanks

[payne5947]

@Remain0 Maybe just the adapter...they tend to do that.

[DiogoMoura100]

hey :) what the program you use in your computer?

[MultiKaresz]

@DiogoMoura100

Program name is : Ableton. :)

[MrKayythree]

what program you uuse?

[godiegogo454]

@MrKayythree that looks like ableton live

[shoedoctor99]

Much better than fucking eHow and their ad-filled 20-second shit.

[RikJamezBich]

can you tell me how to add high/low pitch effects on vocal (audio tracks)? The alien thing is to over the top.

[rufiorocksmysocks]

does this guy have a channel? i would subscribe to his channel if so...

[103959770979]

Well done.

[PopInPhresh]

cheers

[SwitchedProjex]

stop eating burgers and learn to use your legs fatboy

[nr30matias]

please help

how do you get that F#### background noise that low?? cus I'm in a quiet apartment but still most of the sound i record is just background noise or fuzzy noises....the vocals are unusable... :(

[SynnicWinterhaven]

@nr30matias A lot of it depends on the microphones you select and the quality of your audio interface. The other important factor is getting your mic input levels set properly.

[wicketts16]

Does anybody get the chills when they hear themselves on a recording?

[thecreativecircle01]

@wicketts16 Only my nut sack gets chills when I hear myself on a recording..

[AustinGraggmusician]

@wicketts16 only if its good ;P

[jaklol09]
