Ux2 presets for vocal recordings

[locket104]

Hi, Im new to the ux2 and new to recording. I just wondered what were the best tones for vocals in the Pod Farm. I wish there was a way of just getting the mic presets sifted from the guitar ones, so i knew which ones were better for what. You might be able to do that I just wouldn't know.

 

Also if you wouldn't mind any helpful tips for getting the best sound out of the ux2 for vocals. To my newbie ears to guitar sounds good just struggling with vocal.

 

Thanks a lot.

Here's the link I use that really brings the best out of my Mic, the MXL 990, I hope it will work well for you

 

I start with a noise gate that is set to -80 dB for the Threshold and 0% for the decay

Then next is a Compressor with the threshold set to -9 dB and 0 dB on the gain

Then next is a 4 Band EQ with:

• A Gain set to -4.8 dB and 450 for the Freq
• B Gain set to 4.6 dB and 6.0 for Freq
• C Gain set to 2.7 dB and 5.1 Freq
• D Gain set to -0.6 dB and 8.3 Frew

 

And that's that. Now obviously this was tuned for my situation and recording space and such but this could be a general templet you could use as a starting point to hone in for your mic.

 

Hope this helps, cheers m8
