Record vocals at home with AI guidance
A good recording beats any plugin fix.
What to do
- Record in the deadest-sounding space (closets with clothes work).
- Pop filter and roughly a hand-width or more from the mic; adjust by ear.
- Set gain so peaks land well below 0 dBFS (many aim around -10 to -6 dBFS peaks at 24-bit).
- Record several takes and comp the best phrases.
