Vocal Tracking

[firsty33]

Hey guys, I'm back again with more questions in hope of some answers :)

I'm tracking vocals, and I'm not sure which way is the most efficient in the mix. Everything else is finished, (guitar, bass, drums etc.) and I want the mix to be perfect!

Is Antares Auto-Tune efx worth the purchase?

Any help would be awesomely appreciated!!

some more info would be useful.

what do you mean by 'efficient'.

and auto tune is only good if you have a problem to fix...if you get the vocals bang on in the first instance then everything is much easier!

the most important thing is to capture a full sound to begin with, and this means mic placement. no amount of autotune, E.Q, compression, whatever fancy plug-in is the latest, is going to fix a weak crumbly recording. So before you invest in Autotune, be sure to master the most effective, and cheapest technique - where it place the microphone.
