Hey guys, I'm in the metal band From The Shallows, my band has been in the process of recording some demo songs ourselves. We have a pod ux2, Alesis compressor, and bluetube preamp. We use Cubase sx3 to record. The music itself has come out great, guitars are nice and thick, drums are beefy and cut through the mix very well..But now we're stuck on recording my vocals. We have an AT 2012 Condenser Mic plugged into the preamp and ran through the compressor and ux2..The problem I'm having is getting a good preset on gearbox..When we recorded our first EP "Beyond The Unknown" with Joey Sturgis (foundation) my vocals came out great..They sounded very raw, and more live with a slight polished feel to them. I can't seem to duplicate that sound no matter what I do. When we record my voice sounds like a different person. I'm not sure if it has alot to do with EQ's or not..But I'm just stuck, we've been prolonging finishing these songs for the last 4 months based on the simple fact that we can't figure out the vocal situation. We're all recording noobs, so if anyone could please walk me through the process of how to set my rack up properly, good compression tips, and preamp and preset advice as well, I would be so extremely thankful.
Thanks,
Steffan
