thanks girl- I will send tan man over when I am done…

The stems were so excellent that I really mixed most of this yesterday morning while waiting on hold with AT &T, to get cable in our new house. The vocals came very quickly this morning at 8 am.

thanks am

thank you sir.

hi!
I am glad you like the mix- one reason I posted so quickly is that I knew the stems would get mixed a lot- they are so great.
I usually mix my vox in pretty high, just because I guess I want to hear myself, and I am half deaf due to years of loud music:)
I use a low end mic (sure beta 58 A) and record with pretty standard 2 point eq and a little delay & compression (in ableton). In this case, I took two vocal tracks and put one through multi band compression and the other through an amp simulator with a pretty extreme phaser (on garageband). The two vocal lines are a little out of synch (something ditto ditto taught me) to give them some fullness.
I know, they are pretty loud. You can always remix it though, to your taste!

wow, sm58? sounds like a good condenser to me. you have some pretty good remixing skills, my good madame.

I’m very new to recording and working with vocals. Mind sharing what preamp and interface you used for this?

you have gotta be pulling my leg. usually I view my position on ccmixter as the sad, tag-along little sister that doesn’t know what the hell she is doing.
It is an m-audio fast track pro 24 bit pre amp. In terms of interface- I record on ableton live (6.10) and then render to an aif and finish on garageband.
I seriously sometime just press a whole bunch of buttons until it sounds ok. Some of my earlier a capellas involved over 18 eq points.

haha, you’re too humble. if there’s anything I admire, it’s being able to make and sing lyrics that resonates so well with the music and beats. I’ve always wanted to find such an elegant vocalist/collaborator to make an electronic album with, but alas..

have a nice day!
