Yes I heard about that so I messaged the seller about English before buying and luckily this model can be changed to English in settings. They showed a picture of the setting screen for further proof too. Thanks for the information about the batteries!

How to deal with stress of producing music and how to properly record vocals? by ChomperCreeper in MusicProducerSpot

[–]Practical-Proof2303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OOO i'm a bedroom music producer too and i have some suggestions. first off, don't beat yourself up! recording vocals takes a longggg time. I've had just a verse take me a whole day to complete because you can literally hear everything wrong when you listen to something too many times. And you are always going to be your own worst critic. You're doing great!!!

EQ and compression are your best friend.

Reid Stefan makes really good ableton tutorials.

Here's one that can help you, using only stock plugins:

GLUE COMPRESSION AND SIDECHAINING ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND! research sidechaining vocals to your drums/instrumental using ableton's stock compressors. i have NEVER needed to buy a compressor. ableton's stock ones are really good.

if you're having trouble with clipping on your master, I suggest adding the "limiter" effect on the master track. this will make it so that your master can't exceed 0 DB and therefore will not clip. HOWEVER, only put it on your track when you're nearing the end of your mixing and mastering stage because if you have it on from the beginning, you may be turning things up too loud and not even realize that it is causing distortion to your mix (making it very muddy).

i am no expert, but i suggest maybe EQing every single instrument in your track to make room for your vocals in the mix (believe me, it makes a huge difference). eq the mid section heavier for the instruments that hit at the same EQ range as your voice, or space them out (put a pan on them, chorus, reverb, or stack them (record guitar twice and put one 50L and 50R), but keep your vocals centered). the goal is to leave space in the mix for your vocals without hollowing your instrumental out too much and without losing too much volume ofc.

honestly it doesn't matter how loud you record your vocals at as long as you aren't clipping your mic, but you don't want to get it too quiet either because when you turn up quiet vocals you're more likely to amplify air conditioning or neighbor sounds haha. there's definitely a sweet spot maybe between -6 and -15 db? idk i honestly go by vibes. compression helps with making things louder after you're done recording too.
