		<description><![CDATA[Doubling vocals is no secret technique &#8211; everyone knows about it and most home-recorders have tried it. The doubled lead vocal is a staple of modern recordings, and a key element of big sounding vocals. If done right, it can make your lead vocal sound huge, your singer sound better, and your song come together. [...]]]></description>

In some genres, this is the normal, expected practice and a mandatory skill for the engineer. Other circles put emphasis on vague notions of authenticity and integrity, and duplicating a performance [...]]]></description>

Unfortunately, even the best performance can be marred by sloppy recording technique. Here are three tips to help you get a cleaner track.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently purchased a pair of sound isolating earbuds for live use. At one of my guitar gigs, we have an in-ear monitor system and I wanted a nice pair of earbuds that would block out stage noise and let me hear the monitor system clearly. Then I had a brainstorm: why not use them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us get into home recording because we want to record ourselves or our band. We soon realize that there is a steep learning curve, and making a recording that sounds &#8220;professional&#8221; is hard. If you are just starting out, your biggest obstacle is not lack of gear, software, or plugins, but lack of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Electric guitar is one of the easiest instruments to record. Maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m a guitar player and I know what I want a guitar to sound like, but I&#8217;ve never had a lot of trouble getting good electric guitar sounds recorded. Even so, there is a difference between good and great &#8211; here are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Acoustic guitar is one of the most difficult instruments to record. I haven&#8217;t come close to mastering the art, but I have figured some things out along the way that I think are worth passing on to other home recorders. Some of these are sure to be controversial, and other people may have had great [...]]]></description>
