Screams/Cleans with 57.

[djentleman91]

doin my bands first few demo tracks.
only got a 57 atm to do vox with unfortunately.

Just wondering if you guys reckon I could mix the vocals better, and if so how?
Or is it literally just case of actually save for a 7b and decent condenser.

The singing is almost perfect, I'd EQ some of the way higher freq's out. like... 8k+ maybe. It seems to pierce it a little too much, it doesn't have glue to the rest at times, her vowels.
The screams are mixed a little too loud I think. I could be wrong but they sound very raw and independent from the rest of the mix. Also a glue problem, perhaps. Try adding some delay or verb and lowering the levels of the screams if the delay doesn't do that for you.

But I think that'd do a lot. And when I say delay, I mean REALLY small timeframe in the feedback. 1/16, perhaps. It just makes it sound thicker without having to boost the level of it, making it sound awkward and alone.

Other than that, I really like it. The singing is not original in terms of the utilization but unlike all of the other female vocalists in hardcore/metalcore bands, she's not obnoxious and she really has talent. I'd use a limiter/compressor for her voice, though. It's like the best parts are washed out and the rest is popping out when I don't want it to. Maybe use volume automation to work with the dynamics of the mix.

Yer I noticed the piercing but when I changed it, you couldn't really make out any of the singing. my mate said to remix the guitars cos they're dominating the mix but I'm a stubborn bastard so I like the tone. I need to try lower the dry signal and I'll try messing about with the delay man, thanks. I've got both vox comped pretty hard tbf :S but i'll keep tryin different levels.

The clean voice is very good! Need to come out more, it´s a bit thin. Try some saturation and eq.
