    Can you hear the vocals without recording. Like live monitoring. If so how can you do that and also have reverb or echo at the same time

    • @FocusriteTV
      @FocusriteTV  Před 2 měsíci

      Yes, absolutely. The Direct Monitoring feature can be used to monitor your input in real-time, without any noticable latency by taking the input signal and sending it straight to the outputs, bypassing software. This means that you won't hear any processing that you may have applied but you can switch off Direct Monitoring and use the input monitoring feature in your DAW to monitor from your DAW with any processing that you may have applied.

      Focusrite Scarlett devices come bundled with a copy of Ableton Live Lite. While it features fewer features than Ableton Live Suite, it still has plenty of tools to get you started, recording audio with your new interface and microphone. If you haven't already you can register your device and install your software in your Focusrite Customer portal.

    Do you both use headsets to hear that is being recorded or you put it out on the speakers and add background sound to the vocal track?

    • @FocusriteTV
      @FocusriteTV  Před 9 měsíci +2

      Here, monitoring was achieved using headphones rather than speakers, and that's generally the best option for recording a clean vocal with minimal extraneous sound. Capturing background sound on the vocal track can create problems during the mixing phase and the combined signals could cause phase cancellation.

      They're ultimately creative decisions. There's no right and wrong. Some vocalists might want to hear themselves during recording. Some vocalists might also prefer to use speakers rather than headphones when recording.

    • @FocusriteTV
      @FocusriteTV  Před 5 měsíci

      Yes, it's certainly possible to use plugins in realtime while recording, such as Auto-Tune however this can introduce noticeable latency (a slight delay in the audio coming back to you). Latency can be influenced by things like the buffer size and the processing speed/performance of your computer.

    • @FocusriteTV
      @FocusriteTV  Před 4 dny

      Clipping is when an input signal is a too high, and the captured audio is distorted. You can avoid digital clipping by making sure your gain level isn't too high for the sound source you are capturing.

      Dense Foam windscreens will be the easiest to manage for most people. If you find you're missing some high end, you can add back 1-3db of high end frequencies in your EQ.
      The one used in the video is a very standard disc style filter. Dual layer or more is best if you use that style.

      @FocusriteTV  Před 9 měsíci +2

      That ultimately depends on the space that you're recording in. Acoustic treatment can undoubtedly be beneficial but it's also possible to achieve good results and comparable clarity when recording in some spaces without treatment.

      ​@@samsheldon1841 listen to the acoustics of the room while singing or rapping. If it sounds bad you need treatment. If it sounds good you dont. Recording and listening back helps too if you dont know what your listening for. Same thing if it's to much reverb or echo then treat the room until it's where you like it.

      That's entirely up to you! If you'd like to record, Scarlett is compatible with most DAWs and audio apps. We also bundle some options with Scarlett, such as Ableton Live Lite, which is a solid choice.
      If you have a Scarlett 3rd Gen, it should automatically be recognised, so no need to manually enter a serial when registering. This information is also printed on the bottom of the audio interface itself and will be a combination of letters and numbers.
