Another big thing is check your bitrate, I ignored my bitrate setting for a year. And I kept wondering why there was bad sounding frequencies and qualities of each mic I got and finally realized that I had my bitrate on my focusrite and fl studio way too low. Keep the bitrate and sample rate at 48000 and above to get the best quality sound out of your mic or if you’re using the direct input for instruments.

Mistake #4: NOPE - that's not a mistake. I recommend recording with as few effects as possible. Of course, a compressor and a few discreet EQ settings on the preamp can be helpful. But: Basically, the singer should focus on his sound, intonation, pronunciation, formants and thus on his personal sound. Of course, the singer or the producer working with the singer should have an idea of how the vocals are to be used in the mix (hence the larger microphone distance if necessary, or closer if desired) - but basically, effects should be used very discreetly. Too many effects can distract from the actual job. I think this tip is too undifferentiated for me.

Recording on a dry track or with VST's is actually a good suggestion. Me personally, I like to hear myself as to what it's going to sound like, so I tend to use VST's. However I have noticed that when using vst's, especially autotune, it does create a small delay (even with a powerful processor and A grade soundcard). This small delay is barely noticeable, so much that it doesn't bother me to record with it, as it's too small to influence my timings. At least so I thought, I have discovered that when using VST's I'm worse at holding the correct pitch with my voice (singing well, as far as I even can, I'm not a great singer unfortunately). Recording without using vst's does seem to improve my singing. However it's harder to create the actual sound I actually want even when adding vst's later on. Because apperently this seems to happen: Because my recording is less pitch-correct, the effect of autotune seems stronger and tend to create the sound I want.
Same goes for reverb or any effect, because you can already hear it in your recording you start adjusting your voice to the recording-delay and the effect to make it sound the way you want.
So I believe it's really up to what sound you want to create.
