I'm working on a nice liquidy style track at the moment and its got a couple of bursts of me (oh dear) rhyming away being all gangsta innit
So what is the best environment for recording vocals in? The first set I did in my bedroom came out quite flat, it felt like i needed to pile loads of reverb on. Should I be looking to record in a more open space? I was thinking of using the basement in my house as its big and empty, with soft walls so not a lot echos.
Secondly, can anyone give me some tips to make the vocals really shine? When i've recorded before (for hip hop projects with friends) i've just eq'd all the bottoms out, sparingly applied a little compression and its sort of come out alright, but this is different as im working with dnb which is a lot more hectic and bassy than i've worked with before in this area...
Sorry if im waffling on a bit, I guess the easiest thing to do would be just getting on and doing it
