5 Finger Vocal Recording Tip

When setting up a mic to record vocals, give yourself some distance between the artist and the mic. Start with a distance of the width of 5 fingers. To do this, simply extent your fingers apart and measure the distance between your pinky and your thumb. It’s a good starting point to help avoid your vocals being thin from being too far apart or too boomy from too much bass due to the proximity effect. Then adjust accordingly.

What’s up underground hip hop heads! My name is Alex, as an audio engineer I go by Agruv. UnderGroundHipHopBlog (UGHHB) has given me the opportunity to contribute weekly tips about the music industry. Although my background is in audio engineering, I did start out as a musician in high school and attended Musicians Institute (MI) in Hollywood. During my year at MI, I studied music business, which allowed me to see first hand how the industry works.

My weekly topics will mainly cover audio engineering, which will include recording, mixing, and mastering. I may occasionally cover topics such as networking, marketing, collaboration, and some philosophical ramblings from time to time.

Again, I’d like to thank UGHHB for this great opportunity. I hope I get to work with you guys on any recording, mixing, and mastering projects. But more importantly, I hope you gain some knowledge and understanding about the industry, make some dope music and take your career to the next level.
