What bit have you done?

The singing bit and the writing bit mostly

So you done the singing? I noticed another of the video with singing by the same person had like 6 million hits was that you too?

Sadfish,check out "Sun & Moon" or "Alone Tonight" by Above & Beyond both these contains vocals by Beax, both leave shivers down my spine even though heard many many times

Yep, very good vocals.

yeh that was an earlier track mate.. I am guessing you mean Sun & Moon which was 2011.

My favourite DAW is Cubase. It's the one I started using and the one I find easiest to navigate.

If you're recording voice and acoustic guitar I'd definitely go for a condenser mic rather than a dynamic one like the SM58. Something like the Rode NT1A is a decent entry level condenser.

The most important thing is the room you use and its acoustic properties. Get this wrong and even the best gear will sound crap.

Don't forget Rock God that if they are using a condenser mic they will need an audio card capable of phantom power!

To help sort out room acoustics you can buy fairly inexpensive "reflection" filters. The original ones from SE Electronics were a bit pricey but you can get a few different ones now and they are quite useful.

Yes, of course, phantom power is a must! Was going to mention the reflexion filters myself, but with the caveat that they're only successful if the room isn't too bad to begin with.

Well, yes and no.. kind of depends what you are after but you can largely get some pretty good "deadish" results with them and breathe life in the production. Getting a good sounding room is more inportant I recon in the mixing phase when things can become misleading.
