How To Record A Song From Scratch - Vocals [Part 6 of 6]

Recording vocals well in your home studio is one of the most important things you could learn.

No matter how good the rest of your tracks sounds, if the vocals sound amateur, the entire song sounds amateur.

So today I’m going to show you how to get a great vocal recording!

In this video I teach you what type of microphone to use, where to place your microphone in the room, how to get the best sound out of your microphone, and a simple trick to making your vocals pop in the hook of your song.

Wow – we’ve come a long way over the past six videos!

From recording a scratch guitar part into our software and setting up a click track, to laying down bass, electric, and acoustic guitars, to fumbling my way through some virtual instruments using a simple keyboard controller, and now putting down vocals.

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing this song come together from a simple idea to what it is now – and all using nothing but budget equipment!
