Now i understand that the Singer could be a better death metal vocalist .....but i cant help that.........im just wondering do you guys hear anything that i should be doing diffrent.........

And i have heard what alot of ppl say about how they track vocals

But what is the professional way to do it.....what im asking is ......How many layers of vocals are there on the main Vocal........And when you double the main vocal does the double get turned down quite a bit more......to cancel out phase......

 

[ghostofbridgeport]

come on guys give me something to work with
if its bad say so......

Well the vocals sound like you've recorded them well to me, doubling vocals can make them sound thicker, especially if the vocalist can get any lower than he has done on this track, and you mix that in underneath. But doubling the vocal tracks and panning them left/right can thicken things up as well.

I think the mix as a whole would sound great once the bass is on there, and if you added some high end , and some more reverb on the drums and vocals. Overall, good job. Great guitar tone

hey dude thanks for the comments....i was beginning to think know one was goona comment on it...

I thought i heard it was bad to pan vocals left and right........They told its cool to do but you should only use it on pasrts that need a little more spice or the part calls for it

I guess only pan the part if the vocalist can track it twice almost exactly the same. It's the same idea as guitars.

And for future reference, don't be sarcastic when you haven't had anyone comment, just wait ya turn.

sorry for the sarcastic......i just have spent the last 3 wks working on this stuff and its frustrating not to get any feedback

The vocals sound fine, could use a little doubling here and there for a little extra oomph.
The guitars sound slightly under gained for this type of music though.
