How to Record Vocals at Home

Save Money, Time, & a Whole Lot of Frustration with this Step-by-Step Course to Recording Vocals at Home…

Are you a vocalist that wants to record his or her own vocals at home but you’re not sure what you need to get started, how to get started, or how to get professional studio quality recordings at home?

Or, maybe you have some experience recording at home but you just haven’t gotten the results you’re looking for (ex. too much reverb in your recording, too much room noise, or straight up just poor sounding recordings).

If any of those sound like you, then this course is just what you’re looking for.

In this course, I outline a step-by-step approach to recording vocals at home and how to get great sounding results.

I cover the entire process, from start to finish, so that even if you know little to nothing about recording, after completing this course, you’ll be able to record professional sounding vocals tracks at home (in your bedroom, your basement, wherever).

Unlike sites like YouTube, or just browsing the results in Google, this course gives you everything you need to know to get started recording at home.

I’ll cover everything from what gear you need (and even list budget recommendations that still yield great results), cover recording techniques, talk about how to deal with too much reverb in your recordings, and show you how to actually record on your computer using Studio One (which is, in my opinion, one of the best and easiest to use recording programs).

On top of that, if there was something I missed, something you wish I went into further detail, or something that you wish I had covered but didn’t, you’ll be able to get in touch with me one-on-one to ask me any questions you have and get help with any trouble you might be having. You’ll even be able to suggest some content for future updates to the course (which you’ll have access to forever after purchasing the course one time).

So with all that said, let’s take a deeper look at everything I’ll be covering…

A Brief Intro to “How to Record Vocals at Home”:

Everything You’ll Learn:

What Gear You Need

First up, I’ll cover exactly what gear you need in order to record quality vocal tracks at home. And no, it won’t be thousand of dollars in equipment, I suggest budget-minded gear that you can use to get great results.

In this module, I cover:

  • What microphone to choose and the benefits of each
  • What an audio interface is and why you need one
  • What type of headphones to use when recording
  • Microphone cables
  • Microphone stands and why you should avoid buying cheap stands
Choosing Gear
Microphone Position

How To Position Your Microphone & Yourself When Recording

Next up, I cover how to position your microphone to capture a natural representation of your voice and allow you to remain in a comfortable position during recording. I also cover where to position yourself when recording and the ideal distance to stand away from the microphone.

Where To Record & How To Deal With Poor Room Acoustics

From there, I’ll talk about where to record in your room to avoid audio reflections from being captured in your recording and how to deal with poor room acoustics (to get a dry vocal) using cost-effective, DIY methods.

How To Record Your Vocals On Your Computer Using Studio One

Moving on, I’ll show you how to record your vocals to your computer using a DAW, or in other words, a recording program.

Specifically, I’ll show you how to do this in Studio One (which has free and paid versions). I’ll cover:

  • How to start your first song
  • How to add a track for recording
  • Different ways you can record multiple takes
  • How to use presets to create a monitor mix for your vocals  (for example, if you want reverb on your vocals when tracking)

How To Edit Your Vocals To Create The Perfect Vocal Take

In addition to showing you how to record your vocals in Studio One, I’ll also show you how to comp your vocals.

Comping is the process of slicing and editing multiple recording takes to create one perfect take. I’ll show you how you can record your vocals multiple times and pick apart the best performance from each section to create a perfect vocal recording.

How To Setup Your Audio Interface

If you need any help setting up your audio interface, I’ll even show you how to set it up on your computer and in Studio One.

How To Control Studio One Remotely

Lastly, I’ll cover how you can use Studio One remotely so you don’t need to worry about running to your microphone when you hit record.

Hear What Others Are Saying:

“Cody is great! Every time I email to ask him a question, he always gets back really quickly and his advice and suggestions are always super helpful. Being able to get help when I need it is really the most valuable aspect of the course to me.”

Sam M.

“The layout of the course is really simple and easy to navigate. All of the content is very structured, and there is an order to everything (although, you can skip around). But, that really helps out a lot in that it gives me an order to follow so I know exactly what to do to record at home.”

Michael R.

“The instruction is great! It’s very structured and the videos are very well done. Much better than what you’d see from similar stuff on YouTube. Cody gives examples for everything he talks about and walks you through each part of the course.”

FAQs

What equipment and software will you use for the course?

All of the vocal recording techniques I teach in the course are universal and can be applied to your process no matter what specific recording equipment you end up going with.

That being said, you will need a few things to get started (like a microphone, audio interface, headphones, etc.) and I will be covering what to get there as well as make budget recommendations.

As far as software, I will be using Presonus’ Studio One as the DAW (recording program) that I show you how to record onto your computer with. But, you can choose any DAW that you prefer should you not like Studio One.

I chose Studio One for a few reasons including its ease of use and the fact that there’s a free version. So anyone can get started using it.

Is there a guarantee?

There sure is.

If you are not completely satisfied with the course, and you contact me to let me know within 30 days, I will refund your payment 100%.

I don’t think that will be the case, but rest assured that if you’re not happy with course, you can get your money back.

Do I have the right gear I need to record vocals?

In the first module of the course, I will cover each piece of equipment you need to get started recording vocals at home. I’ll even cover budget recommendations that still yield great results so you can purchase the gear you need at more affordable prices.

What if I don’t have the time to complete the course?

Once you purchase the course, you will have access to the current course content (and any future updates) for life. In addition, you can access any module in the course at any time. So you can skip around as you please (although, I’d recommend following the order the first time through) and you can always come back to the content at a later date.

How long will it take to get access to the course?

You will have immediate access upon purchasing the course. You will be asked to create a username and password at checkout so you can return to the course material at any time.

What types of payment do you accept?

Payment for the course can be made via credit card or through Paypal.

30-Day Money Back Guarantee

I want you to be completely satisfied with this course and feel that you’ve learned a lot after working your way through each video.

That’s why at the end, I’ll ask you how you’ve enjoyed the series, if there was anything you didn’t understand or had trouble with, or if there was something I missed that you wished I had covered. So you will be able to get in touch with me with any help you need.

Even after all that if you are not fully satisfied and you don’t feel like you’ve gotten value from this course, I offer a 30-day, full money back guarantee. At that point, simply get in touch with me to let me know that you are unhappy and I’ll refund your money. The only thing that I’ll ask is to let me know why you didn’t enjoy the course or find it useful so that I can improve it for future students. That’s it.
