As for the sound of my voice, I don't like it. I can at least sing in tune (if that's what I'm trying to do), which is more than a lot of people, but I need to work on singing from lower down so I don't sound like Bob Dylan with a head cold. <br /><br />TW: This, alas, is likely as good as it gets until next year, because I'm about to go on vacation far away from my gear. Regarding loud breathing problems, I developed some vocal technique with dynamic cardoid mikes to minimize that -- basically sing just above the mike so that the wind from my mouth goes over it, and when breathing out during quiet periods turn my head slightly so the wind from my nose went somewhere other than into the mike -- but with the condenser mike the puff filter is a necessity. This particular condenser mike has a foam filter on its front, but that doesn't do too much.BadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-19182199667744847922009-12-18T11:15:43.707-08:002009-12-18T11:15:43.707-08:00I have allot of trouble recording my voice because...I have allot of trouble recording my voice because of loud breathing problems. I find condenser mics really highlight the problem. Puff filters help and I’ve even gone to the extent of trimming what I could of it off the wave in post. Most of it doesn’t show up in the final mix unless it’s a quiet acoustic song. Loud pops do though and the puff filters help there. Although I’ve also worked on vocal breathing exercises, I don’t think that at my age much is going to change so I just do the best I can and enjoy. <br /><br />Looking forward to hearing the final product. Enjoy the journey.twnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-21863071538777167972009-12-18T10:19:56.533-08:002009-12-18T10:19:56.533-08:00Dude, from what I can hear, the vocals are not tha...Dude, from what I can hear, the vocals are not that crappy. Understanding the vocals over the music is very difficult, though. I understood very few of the words, but your voice and style isn't bad.nunyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08833886980442919570noreply@blogger.com
