First person I recorded other than myself!

Had a student that wanted to record a song. Just my usual recording rig which is just a SM57, no mixer, into the computer. Sounds pretty dang good for having zero equipment.

The acoustic guitar needs just a little more bass. It sounds like the singer is blowing into the mic in a few places. And the vocals need to be brought out a little more. Over all I liked it.

I had the same problem with the SM57 and vocals. I got one of those big rings with the pantyhose material across it and it totally solved that problem.

Re: First person I recorded other than myself!

Nice job I would put a little mid scoop on the guitars to give the vocals a little more room to breathe.

The pantyhose trick is great...I personally boost the gain of my mic a little and have the vocalist stand roughly 6 - 12 inches from the mic...but that all depends on what kind of mic that you have.

I like the mix, keep up the great work Just try to pull out the click track from Cubase lol

Pop filter. AFAIK, it keeps your track from reaching the top 40.

Nice job. Acoustic was a little thin but a nice recording man. I was waiting for a full blown band to come in. Tell her that song would sound great with a band imo. She has a great tone to her voice but (like me) she should sing more from her diaphram as it sounds a bit nasaly. I think if she sings with a bit more power she'll sound soooo good.

what language was she singing in? I didn't understand a word of that

Great quality for mic straight in to a computer!
