    My hardcore gangsta rap group

    "better hella..." what? Where's the bumpin' bass? I thought you were gonna take me to the bassment, and I feel disappointed.

    A Workout in E major -- Needs Drums

    I'm really wondering what kind of acoustic guitar that was. Such a clean full tone it has! I'm astounded!

    Hardcore/heavy mix (Contains F-word/screaming)

    Overall the mix was pretty on. Vocals come a little loud in my Altec Lansing PC speakers, didn't listen to it on monitors. The toms sound a little too dry and flat when soloing, and I agree it needs a touch more snare (maybe EQ'd a bit brighter?) I'm not a huge fan of the bass drum sample either.

    Tool's Vicarious.

    I think it's a news report about the war.

    Singing advice needed please

    Here's what you've got to do. Crank up the track in your cans. As loud as you can possibly get it, and keep it sounding clean. Then take one off, or turn yourself as loud as you can still hear yourself clearly, but not loudly. The reason you sing better when you're playing, is because you can...

    Tighter Cleaner Vocals. i.e. Korn

    I appreciate all of the responses, but no one really answered my question. I know I don't have the greatest stuff, and I know I'll never get a multi-million dollar sound, but I wanted to know about the post production. What they did to that sound, after it was recorded and printed. THAT's what I...

    Tighter Cleaner Vocals. i.e. Korn

    Thanks to everyone that replied. I'll have to give a shot with the multiple take recording. After spending so many months getting everyone else (guitar, drums, etc...) to sound 'right', I guess I'm trying to rush myself.

    Tighter Cleaner Vocals. i.e. Korn

    I agree about the "dirty thirty" I basically use it only for a calmer transition between when I scream and sing in a same take. I do use proper mic techniques to aid this, and I know sound forge isn't capable of giving me a grammy winning sound, but if I can do anything, I'd like to. Thanks for...

    Tighter Cleaner Vocals. i.e. Korn

    I use an AKG C 3000 B into a Behringer mixer (for the pre) into my tascam us-122, with an Alesis 3630, a DOD EQ, and a Digitech TSR-12 in the insert. Then Tweaked in Sound Forge after initial tracking.

    Tighter Cleaner Vocals. i.e. Korn

    Ok, this may be the dumbest thing I ever ask on here. What is done for that 'Studio Sound' on Vocals. Example being, on Korn's Life is Peacy, the secret track is Jon singing Twist. I can get vocals to sound like that, or better, on tape. But when you play the album cut, the vocals are much...

    First crack at compressing vocals...howd i do?

    I dig the track, the vocals have a bit too much reverb/echo/delay. Also the pitch shifted female backing vocals thing has beed done on every single Kanye West song, and is pretty much played out. But I'm a rocker, and it's only my opinion. The Vocal Performance is great though, you sound like...

    Mix Even? Want some input- Hard Rock.

    How is the mix on this song? I'm thinking maybe drop the guitars a little for the verses, and kick them back up in the prechorus-chorus. Overall opinions? On anything? http://www.pushtovent.com/audio/morbid_mix_vocals.mp3 Let me know what you think. Chris

    Hail to the Theif: Vocals

    Yorke uses a lot of multitracking on this cd, and the song you reference has him singing the whole melody an octave higher, as well as a few doubled tracks in there. I'd say there's at least 6 vocals on that song. And the 'Scream and you can shout' line sounds to me like he just sang to loud on...

    Noise gate pedal?

    Hey man, I'm in the process of doing exactly what you're doing. We use the Boss NS-2 Noise Supressor Pedal, and it's awesome. You run it through your effects loop, and it not only cleans up your signal, but it doesn't really color your sound either because it listens to your guitar, and when...

    pink floyd or led zepplin?? whos better??

    Double points on the Animals plug there, and my vote would have to go to Pink Floyd as well. All in all on a strictly musical level they just move me more. That's all there is to it. Ok ok, I hate Robert Plant too, but usually he's easy to overlook. And besides, pink IS red, with just a touch of...

    high speed disclaimers

    Don't know if anyone here has ever actually done it, but I interned at a tv studio. The one I worked at took the talent recording the legal terms and conditions at a fairly quick pace, but not uncomfortably fast, and actually cut out all of the spaces between words manually. If you use a time...

    Line-in vs. USB/Firewire

    The main reason to use a USB or Firewire for your audio signal is the clarity of the source. Through line in you might be getting maybe 8-10 kbps where with USB and Firewire you can get 24, or more. And that means more data per second, and therefore, cleaner, more "professional" sound. Your line...

    What do you guys do with YOUR AKG D112?

    Do not use the Audix! Well, you can try it, but you won't like it. I have the audix mic pack which is great on the toms, and overheads. I use a 57 on snare now, and the D112 for bass drum. Try putting the mic about 3-4 inches away from the beater head, aimed where the beaters hit, and moved...

    travis barker from blink 182

    What the hell is your point? My band had two songs written before I joined, and they even had one song finished. So? I sang my part, and wrote new lyrics/melody to the other. I guarantee Travis didn't play the same shit as the other dude. Steve I think his name was.
