Lesson 6: Recording Vocals

Recording Vocals on your Computer

For this part of your project you will need to use headphones.

Otherwise, the microphone will often pick up the sounds from the speakers, creating a feedback loop.

Steps:

  • Log into your project on soundtrap.com
  • Open your project in studio
  • Once your project is open, click "Add a New Track"
  • Select "Voice and Microphones"
  • It is imporant to test your vocals before you start recording.
  • Click on "Vocal Test"
  • The audio test will prompt you to sing to check for levels.
  • Now you are ready to record.
  • I suggest you turn on the metronome so you can hear the 8 beats of click before the song begins.

Adding Autotune


  • If you would like to add autotune to your vocals, just hover over the region you wish to auto-tune, click EDIT (1) and choose Auto-TuneĀ® (2).
