Brad	First important thing is compression. Learn to use a compressor, smash the vocals down a bunch. Then doubling if needed (it’s almost always needed for my crappy voice). Just sing the same parts again, dial in the second take until it sounds fuller and rounds out any pitchy vocals.

growyoyorhino	thanks for that, ill try a compressor on reaper, i tried record vocals on FL Studio for the compressor and other effects but its a lot more confusing than Reaper.

Brad	If you’re new to compressors, try dialing the ratio up to around 5:1, then drag the threshold down until you see some activity / start hearing it affect the sound. Depending on the compressor you may need to enable “make-up gain” or just boost the volume a bunch after it’s compressed.
