Recording Vocals

I would like to now any tips or trick to keep my vocal recording blending in with the music w/o it sounding hollow and away from the music. Please remember I'm new to recording. If you will like to hear some of the recordings that I have done please feel free to see my site at: Please advice on how to improve the sounds and vocals. Thank you

hmm. Thats a really good guide.

Thank you for the advice I'm going to try the two microphone technic, where should I locate the mic in the room, but I would like to know what the letters PFL mode mean. Thank you guys, I really appreciate the help. Sincerely[LIST]

i've experimented with recording the vocal in the "control room" with audio coming out of the monitors... depending on what you're trying to achieve, might help otto

When you record the vocal after you've recorded the players try recording using 2 mics. 1. A "direct" mic for the singer the VOX track. Usually a nice condenser would do the job in acoustic enviorment. 2. A "room" mic to produce the "in the mix" feeling of the vocal spreading in the room. if you record the entire musicians except of the vocal at single-take, You can try putting a microphone in the spot where the vocal will be and add the "room" from the with the musicians feeling. Mix-Stage, Try sending the instruments to auxs and put a Reverb to create some sort of a "location". I usually send the 2nd mic (room mic) to send as auxilry in PFL mode (pre) to the reverb to get the vocal "in the mix".
