Re: Vocal sample: New singer

Kinda sounds like it was done with an SM58...

The vocals fit the style and all, but the sound of them isn't up to par with the quality of the instrumental sounds. The vox just kinda sit on top of the mix, never blending with it, and have a small boxy sound to them.
 
Re: Vocal sample: New singer

Firstly I like it better than the old singer. Secondly did you compress the vocals any? Some places its quiet, then it will get way on top of the mix. Also you may want to consider backing off the mic a little or making a pop filter cause there is some definite "pop" in the vocals in some places.

I hear the pop. I have a sock over the mic, that's it. I compressed it with RVox a bit, but I'll work on that a little.

get your ass on AIM!
 
Re: Vocal sample: New singer

Guitars sound awesome. The vocals do not sound awesome. I am sure they need some compression for sure, but I'm not sure what else. I've never recorded heavy vocals before.
 
Re: Vocal sample: New singer

I'm working again on vocals as we speak, I have a pop filter all made up now so that's all good, I'm just having a hard time trying to get them to sit 'in' the mix instead of 'ontop.'
 
Re: Vocal sample: New singer

Back off the mic, compress waaaay more- and for the love of god make sure the takes are all up to par. Also even relatively dry sounding vocals have reverb. Don't overdo it like I did but add some. Eq work is a must with those type of dynamic mics. To reduce pop- if you have a stand try angling the mic at maybe 45 degrees or so. I was gonna do vocals for a bloodbath song for fun over the weekend so if I end up doing that I'll make it a point to use an sm57 so I can give you more tips about what generally needs to be done to get a decent sound. Just so long as you keep guitar tips coming for me ;)
 
Re: Vocal sample: New singer

Updated with full song and new mix/takes.
 
Re: Vocal sample: New singer

so, now quit shooting yourself in the foot and SING...no more cookie monster, it just kills the good playing and cool riffs, i'm tellin' ya.

however you do it better than the other guy.

Re: Vocal sample: New singer

I know you love that kind of vox but I agree totally with Mike.

I really love heavy riffs - and you got tons of them. But to me, the vox are spoiling the enjoyment.

There may be other type of metal vox you could use for that, right? Not completely clean, but not like that either.


Anyway, awesome riffage, Jeff.
 
Re: Vocal sample: New singer

riffage is great as always. The vox do seem to detract from the track though. They could really use a bit more "punch" to em...I'd like to hear some of your stuff with a bit of clean vox as well...though if you get a good mix with some serious ass-kicking screaming in there it'd reek of awesomeness.

Kudos on the trackage bro :beerchug:
 
Re: Vocal sample: New singer

This This seems to be the general consesus on every forum... I'll try it out with some cleans when my sinus infection clears up.
 
Re: Vocal sample: New singer

I love the instruments under the vocals, and the vocals are pretty good too, or the style. But again they're a tad rough around the edges. However still pretty good.
 
Re: Vocal sample: New singer

great riffage....like eveyone else said It needs to sit more in the mix
try adding a little compression to bring the softer parts out and then
use a little reverb. (but what am I saying....I dont know anything about how
to record!!....listen below and you will see) ...keep it up...it takes balls
to sing...

This is considered singing?

Nope; and only the thread title mentioning singing at all. Also, in that case, it applied it to a person; a 'singer.' Doesn't mean they're actually singing ;). Thanks for being a smartass, though.:beerchug:

I like the music a lot, I just think it would be better with a different vocal style (as others have said). The thread title said singer (not vocalist) so I was wondering if that's 'singing' and not 'growling' or some other term. :beerchug:
