Inhale Screamer!

[topsoul182]

I have a band coming in a couple days and i know their screamer does inhales. I cant just say learn how to scream and then come back and record. What methods could i use to make it sound the best possible.

heres the last song i did of them so maybe it could help?

What methods do you use to make this sound the best possible?
You don't.
Record them, let the band wallow in their own shittiness and get them out the door in hope that the next clients you get will be better.

These guys aren't very tight musicians. :|


I'd say use a shit load of distortion.

 

[kramer1309]

Im sorry but that band just sucks!
The autotune sounds like its going out of key as well :S

 

[Forceps]

Wow, turn the clean vocals softer! And add a bit delay maybe...

 

[hurdy]

God these guys need to practice for like 1 year first, their timing is soooo shocking. I think the screams are the least of your worries lol

 

[Emdprodukt]

lol'd about the auto tune. still out of tune.

 

[FloridaRolf]

WTF

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Ouch, the auto-outoftune sounds pretty brutal. These guys are nowhere near ready to enter a studio.

Tracking-wise, your best bet is to try the usual suspects. SM7 and loads of compression

 

[FIXXXER]

omg

The first guy that posted in this topic apart from you, you pay him a nice big sum of money and he will give you some nice sounding gurgly noises in exchange.

On second thoughts, I just listened to the track, dont taint Gareth with that.

Make the autotune stop.

Track to a click.

There's a lot more in that mix to worry about besides the inhales.

 

[Seth Munson]

Can I get this CD at Best Buy?
plz say yes! plz say yes!

 

[AerialThesis]

The screams are incredible in my opinion. The band isn't incredible tought and ya the clean vocals are kind of lame even tought their is some emotions left in them. I suggest tracking with a click and track the clean vocals maybe word by word.

Yes, you can. And you'd be doing them a favor.

AHHHHHH MAKE IT STOP!

 

[ahjteam]

use 10 hours more to recording vocals and 10 hours less to autotuning, preferrably no autotuning at all. sounds more natural.

I didn't listen to the track, but from what I've learned tracking inhale vocalist the voice is going to be very thin. My chain is SM7-API 312-Distressor (4:1) and I dual track the highs and lows separately from each other to let the vocalist focus on what he's doing and get a really dialed performance.

From there I will do aligning with elastic audio to get the vocals to get them tight with each other. Afterwords I will send to two busses, a "pre" vocal bus that I will use for some modest compression via UAD 1176 and then a squashed bus that I usually keep the fader 4-6db lower than the main bus and raise or lower to taste.

Good luck dude!

I all likely hood the band actually hates the screamer and they just can't get anyone any better.

Was in a band like it with TWO shit screamers.
Sad thing was both me and the bassist can/could scream much much better than them.
But they were the front men so they recorded.
Fun times.
