Hey Girls,
first of I found this forum while searching for recording tips and was really pleased to see some qualified answers here.
Lets get down to business:
I am singing in a "Melodic Death Metal / Thrash Metal" Band, Downstream (www.myspace.com/downstreammetal) in Germany. This is the first time I do death metal vocals and actually pretty fast got away from normal grunting. One of my major influences (besides Karl Willets of Bolt Thrower) is Randy Blythe from Lamb of God.
So, if you might have listened to our tracks on myspace, you can actually hear that in recording, I am the weak link of my band. This is somewhat not the case live, where all people tell me "Dude, great job, you should scream like this on your recordings". The great problem for me is, that I cannot get the feeling and intensity with just standing in front of my Microphone, but I would love to have something in my hand, cup my mic and such.
Rather stunned I saw that Lamb of God Producer MACHINE records vocals with Lamb of God by just using a "normal" Live stage microphone. So my question is, regarding my Sennheiser S 825, and our o2r Yamaha preamp and stuff, could I somehow record this way? Or would you always, ever no matter what you do, have noises recording this way. Or does it need a better mic (Shure SM86? Condensator Live mic)?
Would love to get some answers, cause my bad recorded vocals really piss me off :zombie:uke:
Cheers from Germany, feel free to add us on myspace!
