Recording vocals : Part 2 This segment is going to be about recording at the proper recording levels. This just doesn't applies to vocals, it should be used on everything you record. Back in the day of analog, we use to try to get our levels as close to zero as possible,the hotter the signal the better it sound. Now that we're in a digital world, hitting the zero mark can cause distortion and also thin out the sound of what is being recorded. So, I suggest you record between -6 and -12,this will allow the headroom needed to mix and also give you a cleaner sound. If you find the need to boost the signal that has been recorded, simply normalize it. Keep recording…. If you have any questions, hit me up at : [email protected] 8 Exxpose Magazine NEED HELP?
