Beginners,and a cool guide for advance recording producers or engineers for brush up,or
Refresher course.

Excellent Training on Recording Vocals

I really loved this training course on getting the most in vocal recording. I've been writing, recording, and producing my own songs for about 3 years, and have struggled to get the best vocal sound. I've watched a myriad of YouTube videos which offered some help, but I was extremely impressed with how David Wills recorded a lead vocal as well as 3-part harmonies during the class. They sounded incredible! (I also loved the song.) Thanks, David, for another outstanding course! -Doug Kelley

Top Shelf Masterclass

Getting Killer Vocals is a masterclass of the highest quality I've been missing. I learned a lot of things that matter in recording, editing and mixing vocals that nobody teaches.

David Wills shows enormous real life experience and knowledge in the audio engineering field. He is one of few people who share their true secrets with their audiences online.

Anybody can follow the examples and try to replicate what David does. No fluff here, just plain usefull hands on audio training. Can't wait to start on the next course.

Thank you for sharing David!

Truly Killer Vocals

The title isn't hyperbole! This truly is an exceptionally helpful and thorough Master Class on the art of creating amazing vocals. I had no idea of the nuance involved in recording, editing and mixing vocals. Creating and recording my own music is a serious hobby for me but my vocal tracks were usually a lead vocal and a 'double' - that's it! I realized pretty quickly I needed the education and experience that David and the folks at ProAudioEXP offered in this Master Class to expand my skills and take my recording any vocals to a new level. My goal was to learn what makes a great vocal mix. What I've learned has exceeded my expectations. It was all here in this Master Class - from beginning to end - how to prepare to sing, microphone techniques and recording - to masterful uses of EQ and dynamic signal processing, when editing and mixing vocals. I learned a ton of useful information and new skills to use on all my vocal tracks but the recording, editing and mixing of multiple background vocals was worth the price of the class alone! Thank you, David and ProAudioEXP for presenting yet another amazing and incredibly useful Master Class. This isn't hyperbole from me in the least. What I can say personally and without any hesitation, is that I truly received 'Killer' education and stellar training that will help me create the best vocal mixes possible in my songs. I'm grateful for that and excited to get started! David and ProAudioEXP, you're Master Classes are the best! They are my 'go to' home recording references - all of them!

Masterclass-Killer Vocals

The tutorials were as expected, executed w. finesse and with style. To recap on a few topics: “Vocal Comp”, “Layering” and the surprisingly but quite appealing “Vocal Warming up” (basic knowledge to some here… BUT i somehow found it detailed: in a new fresh way!!
Mr Will’s explanatory style and humour made it all a ‘enjoyable coctail which btw I’m looking forward to repeat in near future.

— “Masterclass-Killer Vocals” —

‘Highly Reccomended’ and IF you’re a Novice beginning your own ‘Recording-Mic-Session’ this should be your First Choice of many exellent tutorials.

-Isn’t online educucation wonderful when you actually brighten your skills…slowly but steadily.

Thank You again,

Cheers K
