Vocal recording
Help neededok got a question here..
I'm working on a track and it disurves some nice vocals, my problem is: when i record, theres that annoying 'geruis' kkrsjjkrsjj all the time, so the quality of the record isn't that good.It is NOT my microphone, cause it's a professional JB systems microphone..Could it be due to the recording software i use ( audacity)
Any suggestions/help/tips are appreciated ;)
Greetings

well, i just plug my mic in my mackie mixer and record with cool edit...
depending on what i want, i plug my mic into my bigg muff distortion pedal or the vt-1 voice transformer...
it's all about preamping as well, the mackie mixer has very good mic preamps with a low noise ratio...
what you can do is cut all freqs below 75hz and above 5000(depends on the sound you want)
try to record at high volume, so you don't need to amplify too much after recording, that will reduce the noise as well...
and a magic touch is a good verb on the vocs...
and indeed your soundcard should have low noise ratio as well...
lol good question, i don't think thats the main problem, i bought a new P4 with a decent setup.May sound stupid but i even don't know which soundcard i have or how i can see which i use :!
i don't know that much about pc hardware tell me how i can look that up and i will ;)
there is an ' about ' function somewhere... but you probably have a built in soundcard...
replace that in time ( try m-audio)...
for the rest i'd say record at high volume ( not too loud), cut of them freqs( run the vocal through frequency analiser and look for the peaks), then cut out freqs that are not needed...

Thank you for your reply! indeed equalizing can make it already a lot better..i'll try your suggestions :)
the freqs u don't need should be heavily cut...
if you have cool edit, use the scientific filter ( fancy name for an eq plugin), that can cut at -90 db, so it realy cuts instead of just reducing...
i do not have cool edit, i'll try to look it up.. Thanks loads for your fast reply ;)
"professional JBsystems microphone"... now THAT is one hell of a contradiction ^^ just kidding eh ;) serious: with basic internal soundcards u often get these problems. for example: u hear noise when u move your mouse, or when u open the dvd-tray... best is to buy an external soundcard as mentioned above. eq can do a lot, but first your original recordings gotta be good. eq can only take away what has been recorded. if the vocal-frequencies include noise from your pc, than eq won't do shit. i've been there too, and believe it: only a good soundcard is the solution for good recordings
