My friends and I are starting a band and it's the first time for all of us. Right now we're just playing in a basement and figuring things out. We just got a mic and quickly realized vocals sound BAD without reverb and possibly other effects that are unknown to me. What should I get to make the vocals sound decent? Also probably need help on how to set up the signal chain. Right now the mic is plugged directly into a Roland KC-550.
Also, recommend some bass pedals that won't make me homeless if I buy them. I currently just have a P-Bass going into an Ampeg RB-108.
I adjust eq for every venue... And I have a nice mic and good technique. Different rooms absorb different frequencies and have different resonances.
Even with basic "low mid high", you can improve your sound a lot with eq.
I do agree that one should learn mic technique though.. Eq can't fix bad technique. It can kinda fix a subpar mic.
