Voice recording
General discussionDear e-bellers,
I need some help concerning the recording of voices with Cubase. Does someone know good tricks or tips to record voices or a good VST or vocoder to easen-up this task?
Thankx

recording a voice or recording a wave is exactely the same ... you grab a mic, switch on your phantom power on your input device, plug a mic in, and start brabbeling :)) easy come easy go
Get yourself a condenser mic (samson or behringer - around 100 euros), a mixing desk with phantom power and a vst-compressor (waves are really good!). Roll off some low frequencies and maybe add a little reverb. This will help you to get decent vocal tracks.
tip: i always use the 'dynamics/limiter' effect on voice recordings great tool to avoid clipping...
Thanks for the info. I already bought a Samson condeser mic but I guess it's due to a lack of experience that the voices doesn't sound 100% pure. That's why I wanted to know if there are any VST's to help.

multibandcomprssor might work aswell
I use a Shure SM57 (less then 100€) and a Tascam US-122

I use a popkiller to give the voice some "air". If you keep a space between the mic and your lips that was the voice sounds a little warmer and you have softer P- and S-sounds

I put the same voice-wave on 2 different Cubase-tracks that way it sounds "fuller". On one track I ad some reverb (not to much though) to make it more fluid, on the ather I ad some GAIN so it gets a bit more raw.

experiment with the volumes-balance between these two tracks and see what sounds best
=> I'm not saying it's the best way, but it's my way :) I'm rather happy about how the vocals on my tracks sound.
(Watch out when switching The phantom-feed on, not all mics support that!! A shure SM57 will break if u Switch phantom on!!)
Very friendly people here @ ebel :) I think it's a coincidence, but I was just experimenting with those exact same techniques. Great to hear it's not a dumb method! Thanks
