Recording studio techniques - Vocal Recording
One of the most important aspects of a good recording is the vocals. The vocal recording and treatment can make the difference between a lifeless and unbalanced track, and a superbly rich and engaging one.
So what should we do in order to get that lush sound that we hear on the radio?
Microphone
Firstly you must be using a condenser mic. With the superior frequency range and subtle tone responce, the condenser microphone is the tool that practically all professional recordings use.
Room
Contrary to popular belief, a vocal booth is not necessary. In fact they came into being in the 80s due to the noise generated by the computers of that time! Nowadays computers are quiet enough that they require only minimal isolation. However, an open flat room is also not good enough, the walls should be dampened with acoustic tiles so that the bounce reflections are eliminated.
In order to test this, simply clap your hands and listen out for a slight delay or echo. It is this that you are trying to eliminate with the acoustic tiles.
Technique
Vocal technique is important so try and ask your singer to stand with their mouth about 10 inches from the microphone.
"Something as simple as asking the singer to back away from the microphone slightly on loud notes can give the overall performance a more natural feel." http://www.applebeam.com (Apple Beam Recording Studio)
Compression
It is worth compressing the vocals using a preamp at source. Keep this gentle enough that you can add more compression later in the chain so asn you have control. Compress the vocals as much as possible without sounding fake or boxy.
EQ
Bring up the top end slightly if required so that the vocals sound clear and cut through the mix. Take the lower end out to add presence to overall channel.
Tracking
Recording the lead vocal twice and layering them can add a nice warmth. Usually
backing vocals will all be recorded twice and panned left and right so as to leave space for the lead (which should be panned centre).
Mixing Levels
Keep the lead vocal nice and loud without making the mix sound unbalanced.
The lead vocal should be the main driving force of the song. A good trick is to mix the lead by turning it and gradually increasing volume until you feel it 'sits' nicely
in the mix.
