Hog Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Turn the treble way up to maximise the higher notes and add a brightness. I have also noticed that the reverb is added at the end of a vocal section, not during the main vocals but at the end of a vocal section to acentuate a line. Sometimes a layer is created below the vocal section, one octave below.Burton C Bell has a very small amount of distortion in his vocals. Compression seems to be a major part of clean metal vocals, that and also chorus and reverb. Just my 5 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripey Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 compression is a nice way to bring a percussive punch to vocals if it is done properly, but reverb is something that really requires a lot of finesse to get right, it really just depends on the quality of the reverb unit in terms of how much control it gives you over stuff like pre-delay, early reflections, and frequency response. Splitting up individual tracks and sending one to a seperate fx channel, with a different reverb maybe with a more obvious effect is a nice trick, as you said, maybe for the last phrase in a vocal, or for a percussion breakdown, maybe on the last snare.

Guest scott cs. Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 you'll need a good microphone first, one with a nice wide frequency range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 hehe...the SM7, with the windshield off and performed into like you would a 58....I'm sure I spied devy using this exact same technique....hetfield does is too....and countless other "heavy" producers use this technique...I dunno what it is...its really more of a broadcast type mic, and I think it is essentially the same capsule as an SM57, must just be in the way it is designed....They're "cheap" mics in the states...but a good few hundred over here Oh yeah and if Devy and Hetfield doesn't rock your boat, Michael Jackson sang into this mic to record Thriller I think chamone!!!
