Make Your Vocals Sound Like a Major Release – With And Without AI
Dull room sound, thin vocals, or the wrong recording chain? In our masterclass, we show you how to capture vocals cleanly, clearly and with character right from the start. You’ll learn which recording chain suits your setup, which mic works best with your voice, and how the room, positioning and outboard gear affect the sound. Our microphone recommendations show you which options fit your budget and sonic preferences. Next, we turn the take into a finished sound – with hardware, plug-ins, repair tools and AI for harmonies or new voices. Practical know-how on podcasting and streaming rounds out the masterclass.
More voice, less room: How to tame your recording room
A good microphone captures every nuance of your voice – and in a home studio, every reflection from the walls, windows and ceiling as well. This often puts room sound onto the track that can make vocals sound thin or washed out. Once it has been recorded, it can only be corrected to a limited extent with EQ or reverb. With the right positioning and targeted acoustic treatment, you can already make a big difference before the first take.
When „Broken“ Just Sounds Right: Baby Audio Super VHS Free With Beat 11/26
Too clean, too static, too digital? Super VHS sends sterile sounds on a journey through time and brings them back with plenty of patina. To achieve this, Baby Audio combines six deliberately simple Lo-Fi effects: Tape saturation, noise, sample rate reduction, chorus, pitch fluctuations, and distinctive ’80s reverb. This is how you can transform synths, drums, basses, or keys into warm, washed-out, and wonderfully worn-out retro sounds in just a few seconds.

Discovered: Anthony Baldino – A Modular Odyssey
One of the best places to hear Anthony Baldino‘s work is your local cinema: As a sound designer, he worked closely with composer Ludwig Göransson to make the acoustic world of Christopher Nolan‘s „The Odyssey“ come alive. But he is also active as a producer in his own right. His latest album „Conveyor“ shows him as the director of his own mind movie, colouring personal emotions with the palette of his modular system.
