Vocal recording and production in Brooklyn.
Tracking, comping, tuning, and vocal production. Leave with a performance ready for the mix.
What happens in a vocal session.
A great vocal isn't just recorded; it's produced. Our sessions focus on capturing your best performance and then refining it.
- —Tracking & Monitoring: Capture leads with zero-latency, inspiring headphone mixes.
- —Comping & Editing: We seamlessly assemble the best parts of your takes into a master performance.
- —Tuning & Timing: Detailed pitch correction and rhythmic alignment that sounds transparent and natural.
- —Doubles & Harmonies: Build depth with tightly edited overdubs and backing vocals.
The signal chain.
Your voice is unique, and the chain should reflect that. We match your vocal to a wide available microphone locker featuring Neumann, AKG, Telefunken, Sony, and classic ribbon options. That signal is then driven through premium analog preamps—like Neve 1073, API 312, and Hamptone tube—to deliver warmth, presence, and dimension before it even hits the converters.
Bring your producer.
If you work closely with your own vocal producer, they are completely welcome in the session. A Lit Factory engineer is always included to run the desk, manage the DAW, and ensure the technical side is flawless, freeing your producer to focus solely on the emotion and delivery of the performance.
