Hello all, BR probationer here needing help with vocal quality

[phantasm777]

late to the party but for what its worth here is what ive been doing lately when recording my vocals.

i use fornylon setting which is no5 in the onboard mic effects. with effect displayed i hit edit, turn on the NS (noise suppression i assume) then i change delay from single to tap. i then record to two tracks usually arming tracks 3 and 4 and pan both tracks full left and right. although there is only one mic the tap delay gives a stereo effect with the echo bouncing round the stereo spectrum.

and i hold mbr in my hand at about 4 or 5 inches from my mouth at a 45 degree angle so that i sing across the mic to avoid popping which can happen when singing directly into the mic, hope that is of some help.

oh another thing you can do is reduce the volume of the music you are singing over so you can hear yourself cleary and avoid peaking as it is hard to see the mbr and the dreaded "over" message. then when mastering or bouncing you can bring the music back up.

This was always a problem for me, the 5 inches stuff!!! I tend now to place the BR80 well away ( 2 ft or more) from the mouth which using mono gets better results. The MBR never gave me the control I wanted and was always close or clipped and other breathing stuff came in. I just find the 80 easier to use vocal wise, but don't get me wrong here, the MBR is a great tool and one I enjoyed, It gave me a great start in the world of digital recording, something that I am still learning.

i must pick your brain re the br80. i want one but i keep hearing bad things about recording vox to it.
i love my mbr for vox so was thinking of getting br80 to record everything else then import back into mbr for vocals
am a being silly
