What is the best product for recording vocals?

BR3TT	Date: April 21, 2006 @ 11:41 AM I mean seriously, I've been using FL studio to do vocals, but I can't seem to get it right. Any suggestions?

LiQuidMetamo...	Date: April 21, 2006 @ 8:36 PM Try some demos of other programs to see if you can get a better result But it could well be stuff like what mic are you using, what mixer or preamp, and what soundcard rather than FL Studio. Some other programs you can try are : sonar 5 demo http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/kb2005298.asp acid pro 6 demo http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/download/step2.asp?DID=661 ableton live 5 demo http://www.ableton.com/index?main=downloads samplitude 8 demo http://www.samplitude.com/de/dwnloads.htm and of course (still no demo - not great marketing) Cubase by steinberg - I own it and use it and for entry level cubase se3 is a great program or sx3 for more advanced options/abilities. Demos are often limited in many functions but you can get a taste for the interface and ease of use certainly. I would still check out mic/preamp/soundcard first though as FL has a reputation of being an easy user-friendly program.

Distilled1	Date: April 21, 2006 @ 9:02 PM audicity I prefer kristal audio and a good mic/soundcard(recording)
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: April 21, 2006 @ 9:06 PM Audacity and Kristal are great for free but you might need the extra functions (full range of fx/ better dynamics plugs/ vst instrument or rewire support that paid software offer. Also Audacity isn't the most user friendly interface IMHO although it record audio well and is very good at wave editing.
Distilled1	Date: April 21, 2006 @ 9:21 PM well with kristal for free and all the vst plug ins it does a whole lot and runs much like pro tools and logic
Distilled1	Date: April 21, 2006 @ 9:22 PM yes I hate audacity I can't figure it out but I am used to logic/protools and krystal has the same interface with alot less stuff
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: April 21, 2006 @ 9:33 PM agree kristal is nice kit for the price (nil). If you are mostly recording miced instruments or guitars thru a mixer etc it is especially good. It doesn't do MIDI which is a drawback if you're used to cubase/logic as a midi sequencer and 16 tracks is the limit with some major limitations on insert and send effects if you're used to logic/sonar/cubase etc but at least it has some functionality for this. Another possible drawback is that the developer of kristal is looking to market kristal 2 which will include some midi functions and maybe rewire and extra tracks but it will not be free and they may or may not make a crippled freeware version.

OneofFour	Date: April 24, 2006 @ 12:10 AM MXL 990 is a really cool, super cheap mic, if you don't already have a condenser, that would make a huge difference if you're using a dynamic mic." id="216451">the MXL 990 is a really cool, super cheap mic, if you don't already have a condenser, that would make a huge difference if you're using a dynamic mic.
