Description: Capturing great-sounding vocals with Apple Logic Pro X requires mastering a variety of techniques and concepts. Watch this advanced course from audio engineer Joshua Carney and learn them all!
The human voice, from the warmth of a jazz diva to the guttural growls of a death metal musician, is undoubtedly the most dynamic and versatile musical instrument known to man. It’s a true delight for the listener, but for an audio engineer, it can be a challenge. A perfectly balanced musical mix will never save a poorly recorded vocal performance, so you need to know all these things! Luckily, Logic Pro expert Joshua Carney is here to reveal the correct way to record, edit, and mix vocals using Logic Pro X.
First, Joshua explains the importance of choosing the right microphone to best capture the artist’s unique voice. You’ll get a detailed look at different microphones, learn how to avoid plosive consonants and sibilants, and discover various microphone placement techniques. Filled with live recording examples (from soft and bluesy female vocals to more aggressive male rock vocals), this course will show you how to edit the perfect take using take folders, autopunch, and quick layout. There’s a whole section on processing where you’ll learn about EQs, compressors, de-essers, and more. You’ll also learn how to tweak vocals and create harmonies using Flex Pitch, how to process vocals on input, how to work with a large vocal group, and much more!
If you’ve always wondered how to best capture a great-sounding vocal performance, this advanced course is for you. Join audio engineer Joshua Carney and see how it’s done!
