Recording a rap song has a lot of techniques that most people with a home studio may overlook. One of these techniques is punch ins. Punch ins is when you silence your mistakes and record what you wanted to say, the same time of the silence on another track. This technique can save a lot of time.

Another technique is chopping. Chopping is when you record every four bars. This is when you write a rhyme that is hard to say. If you run out of breath and it is not coming out right. This technique can be a real life saver.

Some tools and equipment you should use when recording is a pop guard. A pop guard is a mesh like or sponge like screen. This screen is put in front of a microphone so air from your mouth will not blow on it and ruin your work. This is a common problem when it comes to recording.

One of the most importing equipment is the microphone. The best thing you can do is do your homework. A microphone that is good for one person may not be good for another. If you know someone with a studio and you like how your voice sounds, ask them what kind of equipment, software and techniques they use when recording. No two studios will ever sound exactly alike. It will take some experimenting to get your recordings just the way you like it. With some ingenuity some patience and a bit of knowledge there is no reason why your tracks won't sound like a million bucks.
