How to record HEAVY VOCALS: EQ, REVERB, and DELAY | SpectreSoundStudios TUTORIAL

Hey Glenn have you ever used a rack de esser? Ill be using rack compression and eq before the interface and i heard de esser should be between EQ and compresson?

Wat mic is he using

That last scream was facking epic!

OVER GRIVE

HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER CHO, GONNA TAKE A RIDE IN TO THE DANGE JONG

This is valuable info ! thank you for no BS and just telling us good stuff! that means a lot and makes for a great channel

Dammit Glenn! You need to start doing videos like this again. I know the guitar reviews get you the views though.

Literally nothing you can do to make this vocal not sound harsh as shit

Which is the best for recording, when scream vocalist screaming louder or better lower?

Wtf is a "dangerchone"?

What computer program is this? What's the name of the editing software? Fuck you Glenn (:

I really like the way Siegfried sings. Please tell him someone said so.

That stereo vocal delay technique sounds amazing! Such a simple way to get a wide sound with natural fade and movement, great tip.

to be honest this mix sounds like ass and way too mixed

Who were those two bands you used in your examples? I’d like to check them out further.

I like it .. Thanks, Glen!

Glenn: You’re smart you didn’t use boosting EQs “

Me: Ha! You don’t know how wrong you are!

You say you have the delay set to a 1/4 note but the interface says 1/8, is this a glitch in the plugin or did you mean 1/8

Just a side note at first I honestly thought these were Chris Jericho's vocals (Fozzy) upon first listen. I mean this as compliment. I truly enjoy their first 2 records from 20-22 years back. Time flies....

I'm enjoying this video. I have been pro vocalist for quite sometime. Funny story. The first thing I'd do is find the sound guy and ask him what delays and reverbs do you have? Do you mind if I test um out? Of course I'd turned up early and would buy him a drink or something. As a vocalist in various Extreme Heavy Metal Blackened/Death and old school East Coast style Hardcore bands. Adding these 2 effects always made me sound much better than I truly do (without). I hate the dry muffled sound as a singer. I would always hold the mic at least an inch from my mouth and never cupped the microphone. During the super emphasized screams I'd pull the mic about a foot from my mouth. It was all based on what my teacher taught me. I never cared for how vocals sound when you have the mic a millimeter from you lips. Sounds awful in my humble opinion. I know you said you prefer delay over reverb for metal vox. I would have more reverb than delay and I thought it gave the entire band a much larger sound this way. Especially venturing into Black Metal style vocals. Appreciate the insight in this vid.

Why is a de-esser better than just turning those frequencies down with EQ?

another delay tip is to filter it so the delay doesn't repeat the consonants up past say 3K too much. take the lows off a bit too is an idea. So the delay is just a midrange echo. really nice vid!!

Man really wish I knew about the de-esser sooner. Would've saved me hours of manually editing vocals

danger chyaaaaaaaaahhhhone!!!!

As a counterpoint to the reverb on growly metal voals, listen to Death "Human." It is practically swimming in reverb, but because of the song arrangements, there is space for it, and honestly it would sound smaller and less intense without the reverb on the vocals.

Another thing to consider is automating reverb sends between different sections of the song to add additional textures. Muting a send on a single word or phrase (along with a fader move) can really grab the listener's attention.

And, finally, most metal vocals are three or four layers of vocal tracking. They don't all have to have the same reverb send levels. You can do an almost parallel processing type thing by keeping one of the layers dry and then adjusting the level so it provides the detail and closeness while the main vocal gets the reverb treatment.

Tha danga chooooooone

The subtractive EQ add fader comment was worth the whole vid! Thanks

I love your video even though your Canadian. 😉

is that Rex Viper's version?

Excellent advice and tuition.

I am hopelessly Glenn dependant. Maybe I should go to rehab ❤️

Danger CHOOOOOOOOODE

Great now i'm gonna be like HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZOOOONE all day

Siegfried Song is so good, god damn.

I bet Glenn brings home that pre midnight pussy with the brutal karaoke skills.

This is so unbelievably helpful! Thanks man!

Dane-ja CHODEEEEEEE!

Amazing vocals. Who makes the long echo plugin? Is it Reaper?

I have subscribed with a pleasure! What the band playing ths video? Nice oldschool voice!

If you don't have a pop filter, a sock works pretty good actually 😝😝!!

The death metal vocalist sounded a bit like Carcass

Hey Glenn, I'm simply not happy with my vocal recordings. I'm wondering if you have a resource for EQ settings for beginners and/or people who suck at this like me. I'm a very loud vocalist and my recording space terrible, so I tend to record close to the mic in an attempt to decrease room reflections. I have a Shure SM-7 as my main recording mic, and when I record loud parts, it always ends up sounding too compressed and sticks out really badly in the mix. Any suggestions, or should I just give up on music? lol

Where do I get that reverb?

This guy sounds like me over-embellishing songs for a laugh. Maybe I should get into metal.

Thanks for the video.
My band is about ready to record some demos before going into the studio. Figured at the studio they’d like to hear how the band sounds before we go in. So they know what to expect.

I don't really need much, but I can barely hear my voice, while it also echos. What effects/plugins do I need on the track? I'm going for the Metallica-Justice style.

Making a comment just to make it to 666 comments.✌ thanks for the tutorial my guy
