You need to use a low cut filter at 60hz to remove anything below that. Maybe use a de-esser to remove strong 'sssh' sounds. Lastly you should use a standard compressor to make the vocal sound equal (the amount of compression always depends on the situation and the feel you want to give). Record in mono (single channel) and after all these effects (which I think you should
include in the final audio file) you should use some quality reverb and maybe some delay.

Hi everyone,
I also would like to get more information about using a mic (in cubase sx2). I have some problems in that field… I plug the mic to the sound card... Push record and all I get is silence (!).
Can someone direct me to a guide (beside the help file of cubase) or give me more tips to get started… (First of all I would like to get a signal if you don’t mind  )
Cheers,
Nir. |

you need to give detail about your soundcard..
check if your mic need a phantom-power, if it does then you soundcard won`t do.
to record a mic, you`ll need a preamp or a mixer to get a signal.
also check in cubase the input channel to see if signal apear.

try to record in a room as dry as you can.
you can put carpets on your walls which is pretty ameatur but better than nothing.
your computer make noises!
record as far as you can from the computer.
don`t EQ too much but if you hear a lack in some range make it a wide q boost.
compressor is more than welcome (if you know how to use it) |

thank you guys very much for your comments so far,
but for some reason it seems to me that to get a
good mix with the vocals is harder then normal
instruments, it just sounds very amature.
so do you think maybe the problem is in the recording?
because most of the stuff said here i allready used. |

I recommend tuK using 'Wave' pack processors... it help a lot to give good clean sound. Probably you knew that... but if not then I was glad to help you

That is impossible to tell without hearing the recording or the mix ... Can you put some short mp3s up online?

I'd be careful about using a de-esser across an entire take, as it could adversely affect the sound. Maybe have a listen to the sound in your arrangement window, and see where the sibilance is at it's harshest, and just try to fix those bits. You'd get a much better result.
