Gritty Record How To Get A Professional Vocal Sound While Using The Computer (Audacity) To Record?
Im a rapper and want a nice clean professional sound while recording from my computer using audacity. I have a mic (AKG 300...I think).......and i made a song with my friend...but my vocals made a buzz sound when i rapped and a loud ''P'' when saying certain words/letters..........i cant use a pop filter eventhough i have one because i cant see the sheet/lyrics when i have my face towards the mic and pop filter and i dont have a mic stand..........any help...software??....................I want a gritty clean sound like Lloyd Banks.............peace
say your lyrics with less pop. also put a sock or something voer that mic, something soft that will block out the high frequencies.
keep your mouth away from the mic. the mic has an Ideal recording distance. most rappers put their mouth on it. too close. It will also ruin the mic over tim from the moisture.
also check your cords ans audio connections for the buzz. the connectiosn might be dirty.
youre a rapper, memorize those lyrics. and get a mic stand.

"The first thing that comes to mind when listening to this fascinating folk duo -- vocalist Bethany Yarrow, daughter of folk legend Peter Yarrow, and veteran five-string cellist Rufus Cappadocia -- is a slightly darker and more gritty Tuck & Patti, mostly due to the sparse production and Yarrow's compelling, low husky tones. But while Tuck & Patti are, at the end of the day, true romantics, Bethany & Rufus edge deeper in the darker spaces between groove, jazz and a gritty approach to traditional folk. With Yarrow's voice shadowing Cappadocia's plucky melodic/rhythmic approach to the bass, the two blend influences from dusty American field recordings to modern jazz (the cheeky "Isn't That So"), from light folk-pop (the snappy title track, "900 Miles") to the griot traditions of Africa ("If I Had My Way (Samson & Delilah)"). Hypnotic pieces like "The Swallow" and "Asturiana" allow Cappadocia to venture into chamber music territory as he creates haunting, sustained notes under his partner's ethereal lead. While these songs may take a few listens to fully resonate, there's no denying that in a world where a lot of fluffy pop passes as folk, Bethany & Rufus, in taking a more original road, have come up with the real deal." -- Jonathan Widran
