New devin video?

How the hell does he punch in and out so goddamn fast?

I'd guess he sets up a large amount of empty vocal tracks before recording. After every take that he is happy with, he switches to a new empty track and records to that. He's not "punching in" per se. He's just hitting record on a new vocal track.

Or: in the end he says "now the last chorus", so he may just have markers set throughout the song that he jumps to from chorus to chorus. But he probably records on pre-set empty audio tracks.

It's not that difficult, cause he always has 2-4 bars lead in time - and because he's such a good singer that is more than enough.
 
He has got to be the best vocalist in metal. EVER!
He is such a good all-rounder; soft, clean/operatic, angry, growls, screams
All of them are amazing, My favourite vocalist by far.
 
I really, really, cannot wait for this. It sounds like it could possibly beat out all of his previous works when all is said and done, and the next three are done to make up the whole set.
 
Speaking of some kind of monster, Devin quotes something said by lars' dad in the vocal video "I would say delete that" haha.

I really hope it's not easy drummer drums....at least use SD 2.0 haha

the metal foundry has a DT preset...sounds great!:rock:

I've done that when tracking guitars. I just alternate between them. Fast and relatively clean.
 
Crazy how he just tracks the vocals with the speakers going. Even with an SM7, with compression and all I'd think there would be some bleed issues. But he gets great performances out, and I'm sure he's done it this way for most of his previous albums, so you can't really hear it in the track.

It makes me want to get an SM7 as well, perhaps it would help me to be less uptight while tracking my vocals.
 
Kazrog: I do it ALL the time. You just have to clean up in between the singing parts. Then there are no bleed issues.

I always do that anyway, to get rid of breaths and room noise. I'll have to give this a try, I've always felt really stiff while tracking vocals and not "in the zone" enough.
