    Lesson 1 – The first recording session

    This lesson will cover,

    Microphones Truncating Vocal Pops ‘plosives’
    Electro acoustic Preamp Tuner
    DI (Direct Input) Dynamic Tempo
    Reverb Condenser Microphone Spill
    Auxiliary (Bus) Auto-punch (punch-ins) Drummer plugin
    Space Designer Reverb Double-tracking Looping
    Input recording Levels Panning
    Clipping Audio editing
    Distortion Harmony

    Start watching video ‘The first recording session’

    https://musictechguru.com/Tutorial%20videos/Practical%20recording%20project%20videos/A%20practical%20recording%20project-%20vocal%20recording.mp4

     

    Go through the following steps. If you are not able to record the acoustic guitar for yourself then watch the video to Step 6 and then download this Logic project below,

    Talkin’ ‘bout a revolution AC

    Now you can start recording vocals from this point. If you have a issue you don’t understand then refer to the TOOLBOX.

     

    Step 1 – The Initial Setup

    Set up 2-3 tracks to record – 1 or 2 for vocals and one for guitar. Use a DI’ed Electroacoustic guitar if possible.

    Step 2 – Set up a reverb using an auxiliary

    Use a Bus to add reverb to the input channels

    Step 3 – Checking recording levels

    Look out for ‘clipping’ of the input signals – it will sound distorted.

    Step 4 – Check the tempo and tune up

    Always important to check your tuning and decide on tempo

    Step 5 – Using the drummer plugin as a time keeper

    The drummer plugin can make playing to a metronome that much easier. Keep the beat simple.

    Step 6 – First proper recording

    Use this step to record the guide acoustic guitar.

    Download the Logic project if needed.

    Step 7 – guitar is recorded – focus on the vocals

    Try experimenting with microphone types.

    Step 8 – The 1st ‘Keeper’ recording of the vocals’

    It usually works out that you get most of a vocal recording in one take. Then it’s time to start patching up any mistakes with ‘punch-ins’

    Step 8 – Fixing the vocal using ‘Auto-punch’

    Auto-punch is useful for getting smooth transitions between takes.

    Step 9 – Double –tracking the vocal

    A classic technique for strengthening a vocal part. Record the ‘run run run’ section again and listen to both takes together.

    Step 10 – Separate out the double-tracked vocal

    Use the ‘Crosshair Matrix’ tool to select parts of audio. Press ‘Alt’ while moving a part to copy it. Panning will widen the sound of the vocal.

    Step 11 – Experimenting with vocal harmony

    Work through the end section and try different harmonies to see if they fit.

    Step 12 – Finishing the vocal session

    Check through your recordings to see if you have done enough to make the arrangement work.
