Recording Covers
Since quite a few people have been asking how covers can be recorded, here's a simple workflow that should help anyone getting started.
🎙️ For Raw Vocals
- Record using your phone's built-in Voice Recorder or an app like BandLab.
- Record in a quiet environment to minimize background noise.
🎵 For Covers with Music
Find a karaoke/instrumental version of the song.
If one isn't available, generate it using Moises or any vocal remover website.
Create a new project in BandLab and import the karaoke track.
Add another audio track and record the vocals while listening to the instrumental.
Play everything back and make sure the vocals are properly synced with the music. Adjust the timing if needed.
Apply effects if desired. BandLab offers plenty of built-in effects, although they're completely optional.
Once satisfied with the recording, export it in M4A format for good audio quality.
🍎 For iPhone Users
GarageBand is a great alternative to BandLab and offers a very similar workflow.
P.S. The apps and websites mentioned above are only examples of tools that can be used. This isn't a promotion of any particular app or service, it's simply a workflow shared because many members have been asking about the recording process. Feel free to use whichever tools you're most comfortable with.
