Hey, you sing really well. How do you get your audio in sink with the music and so clean, when I try, I usually have to play the music on one device, and record with another, and later line up the tracks, and there is allways buzzing / background noise even with a yetti nano mike.

Thanks for the compliment, what your seeing is studio magic, nothing as extreme as tuning the life out of it, Though I won’t shy away from that on something more modern, just lots and lots of takes. You need a multi-track recorder or DAW, Reaper or Ableton, Logic or GarageBand if you're on Mac. Just import your instrumental onto a track and record on another with a pair of headphones plugged in so you can hear yourself. You can use any mic you would like. Obviously, the better the input, the better the output, but you can get away with a lot. I recorded my vocal on a Zoom H4n with the built-in capsules. I have no idea why I did that, given I had a mic which was much better suited for vocal recordings at the time, but I worked with what I had. A noise gate helps a lot, and something to remove reverb from recording helps even more, especially if your room is untreated, which most rooms are. You can do a lot for free, but if you're willing to pay, you can get something that sounds way better than it has any right to be.
