Guide To Recording Vocals: Hip Hop Instrumentals

By Delroy Wilkins


Hip hop is a music genre that is composed of rhyme and rhythm blended with a series of beats. It usually uses popular language to get the message across. As one of the most popular music genres, professional beat producers as well as trained vocalists are selling their services to artists. The modern studio is fast becoming a popular destination for rappers. Despite this, the home studio is still popular with some of today's great hits being produced there.

You might have the perfect vocals paired with beats and instrumentals available for sale. However, you might not be able to get the right quality production. In music, having the perfect vocals calls for professional recording. In most cases, you will have enough money to book studio time. However, even with this limitation, you can still improve on your hip hop tracks vocals in your home studio. It does not necessarily mean investing in the latest analog to digital converter. You simply have to apply these three tricks.

Keep your recording studio noise free. One of the keys to creating clear recordings is working in a noise free environment. Many artists and producers often forget this. Some artists believe that small background noises won't be caught during recording. The opposite is true. The mixing, equalizing and mastering processes of music production actually amplify any small background noises present during recording. Therefore, ensure that there is not any noise within the studio during recording. Any noise source whether it is as loud as an ambulance siren or as simple as a finger snap should be shut off. This is true even if you are using professionally created beats and instrumentals for sale. This way, you will ensure that only your vocals and beats are captured during recording. A great way to reduce noise is to record during the quiet times of the day.

The perfect vocals are gauged by levelness of volume, audibility and comprehension. To achieve this, consider your distance from the mic. In general, keep your distance from the mic between 6 inches and 12 inches. Maintain this distance throughout the recording. Avoid holding the mic and instead use a stand. This way, any hand cable movements will not produce any noise which in turn would end up being audible within the song. In addition, use a pop filter between you and the mic to filter out the vocals. Although a rhythmic music genre, your final hip hop track should be free from any pops, plosives and hisses.

Every house has that perfect spot to set up your studio. All you need is to find it. The best spot is that in which your voice sounds natural without any form of echo or delays. Small rooms should be avoided. Small spaces don't work well as far as the physics of sound and acoustics are concerned. Besides, they are just plain uncomfortable to work in! A major disadvantage of small rooms is that the vocals will thin out, an effect that's hard to rectify even with mixing. An easy way to find the spot for your studio is walking into a medium size to large empty room and clapping your hands. If the sounds echoes back then you might want to add some things that absorb sound such as blankets on the walls. If you find that your ideal space does not create the sense of space in form of reverb and delays, these effects can be added during recording.
