I don ' t seem to have any obnoxious music . what about if I were to enlist someone to dance around for 45 minutes in horribly coloured Lycra shorts ? <| sep |> why not both ? <| sep |> 1 Month to stamkos for hitting people while inivs <| sep |># VocalsVocals are really fucking important . Other than the drums , it ' s also the hardest to get right . The feel and emotion of the vocal take is the most transparent to the listener . I mean , it matters for all instruments , but more so for vocals . Emotion is more important than singing in tune . If you ' re the singer , take some singing lessons . Your music deserves it . The singer needs a good mix to stay in tune and to bring their emotion to the song . That ' s what we ' ve been doing so far . You need to record in a room that sounds good for the song . If the song requires an echoy vocal , record in an echoy room . If it requires a dry vocal , record in a DIY ? vocal booth . Renting a studio can make sense here . Good vocalists have good mic technique . Dynamic mics can work great for them , especially if they ' re used to handling the mic . They also work great for more rock vocals . Pop filters are nice to have , but if your singer wants to handle the mic then let them . As long as they don ' t cup the grille . For breathier vocals , you want a large condenser mic and a pop screen and get the vocalist close to the mic .
