Hi all,
Been running along with all these comments and yeh totally agree, practice makes perfect, Did someone say 30 - 40 takes, I find my first 5 takes are in progress, then I hit a sweet spot where the tone is getting better and I am getting used the flow of the lines, so maybe another 3 good takes, then from that point on, its usually downhill. Throats get sore, especially on shouty tracks.
As I do all the vocals on our tracks, some have 16 lanes of lead and BVs, I find you have to know when your are in the zone and not keep going if its sh*t. You cant fix it in the mix.
But I wasn't talking about Vocalists specifically, they know their craft, engineers know their craft, fact is, in this forum, I would say most of us are trying to be all things to our projects, that was kinda my vibe.
Anyway, interesting read
ps, if in doubt, wind the autotune to 11.5 and we can fix it later...happy days
