Recording Vocals
Please bear with me. I switched from Pro Tools to Logic, and I am trying to get used to it. I went through a bunch of tutorials, and forced myself to record a song I wrote, simply to struggle through and learn Logic. I finally got to the point where I recorded my tracks, and am ready to lay down a vocal. BUT..I find that i have so many questions about how to record vocals. It is very different than what I am used to.
My set up is as follows:
Imac late 2009
Logic Pro X 10.0.6
Steinberg UR44 Sound Module
Behringher Tube amp (for Mics)
Basically, My Mic goes into the Behringer Tube Amp.
It comes out of the Tube amp, and goes into Input 1 on the Steinberg UR44 Sound Module
In the p
Pro Tools world, I'd arm an audio track. At the time I would set the system up so that I would hear a wet signal in my phones, but the vocal would record dry on the Audio track. I would add effects like reverb etc to the vocal afterwards, during the mixing stage.
But in Logic, it's a different world. I'm confused on the following:
1. Should I route my Mic through the Behringer pre/amp /tube amp first before sending the signal into the Steinberg UR44 and then into Logic? My guess is yes.
2. The Library in Logic has patches for Voice. Under the category Legacy, there are also patches for Vocals. Then the channel strip itself has settings in which you can choose Vocal from the library.
So I am very confused.
My goal would be to record a vocal, preferably with a wet signal in my headphones, but a dry signal being recorded. With a view toward applying reverb , compression etc, after the dry signal is recorded.
Is this possible, and is this how vocals are normally recorded in Logic? Or do you pick a setting/patch??, apply it as you record? If that's the case, wouldn't you be stuck with the effects?
Can someone help me understand this?
Thank-you for your time and expertise!
Logic Pro X
