Why Your Home-Recorded Vocals Sound Amateur (And How to Fix)

If your home-recorded vocals still have that weird “demo” quality to them, there’s a good chance you’re trying to fix the wrong things.

Most people immediately reach for:

A better mic…

Crazy EQ…

A different compressor plugin…

Another fancy pants (unnecessary) vocal chain…

But some of the biggest things separating amateur-sounding vocals from polished, album-quality vocals happen in ways most people never even consider.

And a few of them are things I almost never hear people talking about on the internet.

In my new video, I break down the mistakes I hear constantly in home-recorded vocals and show you practical ways to fix them with real-world examples.

If you put these into practice, these changes can completely transform the way your vocals sit in a full mix.
