Good points.... #3 should be #1.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

All of these are even in my book as any one can ruin a vocal.
BUT there is a 6th Vocal Recording Mistake and that is me trying to sing.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

"3. Using Excessive Color/Processing
"Recording with some in-line processing, such as compression and EQ, can be a serious time-saver. What’s more, even if you prefer to track clean, you have to appreciate the natural warmth and colored sound you get from the right kind of preamp. The biggest problem with tracking while using processors and warm preamps is that you have to commit to that one sound."Never heard of "Input Monitoring"? Nobody actually prints effects with the track. The 'warmth' of any preamp will 'print' regardless. "The biggest problem with tracking while using processors and warm preamps is that you have to commit to that one sound." Exactly. That's why nobody does it!  Regards, Bob

A good preamp can give a nice warm sound that you certainly want. People who know, will often request a certain mic/preamp in the studios that have that combo.
My thought was what you don't want printed.... and that is compression, EQ, and reverb. And for heavens sake, don't use chorus and echo FX on a vocal unless you really (and I mean REALLY) know what you're doing and why you're doing it. Don't just throw it in there and think waa laa, now THAT sounds good. Because 99.9999% of the time, it doesn't.

Ditto on the over use of chorus and echo on vocals. I don't like it either. Especially not when Ozzie Ozborn does it. I think he could improve a lot of his songs by not using it at all. Or by hiring David Coverdale to sing for him.
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

All of these are important. #1 doesn't get enough attention in my opinion, but that's because of my technical background as an acoustics engineer. However, I hear the effects of poor acoustics and mic choice and technique all the time, which causes some to do #3, so to me they are interconnected.

" Nobody actually prints effects with the track" Yes they do...  ...the ones that know what they want. It makes the mix down SO much easier!
