Recording should be fun, and my aim is to give my own unique spin on home recording. Stay tuned in the next few weeks for more!
This video is an overview of what you will need to get started recording. I'm using Reaper as my DAW (digital audio workstation) using an interface called a Line 6 UX2.

![How I Recorded A Choir With Only My Voice
Im being vulnerable with you in showing how I recorded a choir with only my voice. Because I wanted to sound as diverse as possible, I used varying techniques and characters to get a different sound for each person. This method allowed for the creation of a differing soundscape than had I just simply sang different notes. My goal is to layer this choir underneath my real singing voice to inject energy into the chorus.
How to Transform Your Voice Into a Virtual Choir:
1. Record as many tracks as possible
2. Sing harmonies (ideally four-part)
3. Vary your vocal tonality and dialect
4. Allow for some imperfections
This tutorial will cover more but if you have any questions please let me know. Watch / listen to the whole song linked below.
Disclaimer: Im not a professional vocal coach or audio engineer, but I just do this for fun and the glory of God.
