@@AustinMarshmallows haha I just discovered my comment got a bunch of likes. All meant in the spirit of praise my friend. Thanks for this fantastic tutorial. Loving your originals too and looking forward to more!
*UPDATE* This tutorial is very old! A brand new updated version with more correct processes is coming very soon, and will fix all the shortcomings that this one had. thank you for watching!
Step 1: Write a tame impala melody Step 2: write tame impala lyrics Step 3: record tame impala stuff step 4: watch this video step 5: apply tame impala effects chain step 6: be tame impala ;) also, very well done re-creation!
pretty rare to see a vocal mixing video that is straight to the point and makes sense these days. Your vocals sounded exactly like kevin's, I couldn't tell the difference, very good work!
Only half way trough it, and I love this. It's just so amazing to discover what you can do with voice effect, and especially don't feel like trash if your raw vocals sounds like trash
That was one of the most engaging videos on a subject so tedious. Awesome vocals went from dry which were very good to practically impossible to tell apart. The only thing I could hear was the tail on the stereo delay was a bit longer and decay lower it seemed than the original but whatever simply amazing!
I took copious notes and am currently applying your exact parameters to a vocal track I'm working on. Really sweet sound. Your dry vocals are really impressive. With a voice like that, I hope you're singing your own songs too. Subbed my dude.
its original! thank you for the view my man. I'm glad im finally able to do something that truly makes me happy. tutorials and helping people make the music THEY want to hear. peace and love
@@AustinMarshmallows Yeah, I feel you man. Congrats on finding your passion and putting so much work into this. I'm getting basically every question answered just watching your videos. really do appreciate you!!!!
I thought it was Kevin's real voice! hahaha! I always had an idea of the effects he used on his voice, but I really liked the result so similar that you get with the process you do
Another good trick I saw is a method to ensure that your reverb doesn't wash out the vocals. You sidechain the wet vocal signal with the dry vocal signal. What this does is when the dry vocal is playing it compresses the reverb, but as the dry vocal fades out, the reverb volume increases. This makes your vocals both present and clear, yet still retaining all that lush reverb. Just something to try.
Hey Austin, just wanted you to know - everytime i need to set up the compression for my vocals in Logic I come back to this video. Really boostin the algi for ya haha... Thanks man. Means alot, and alot of other people are impressed by the vocal sound
Thank you, this was really helpful and I am using it right now. Fixed a problem I couldn't figure out for a while! Also the importance of singing your doubled vocals exactly the same, if not it really doesn't work
@Logan Bolton It's very common practice with EDM stuff to do that with delays and longer reverbs, yeah... It can be used more subtly as a mixing thing or more directly as a substitute for automation.
Actually the brand is focusrite, the low end consumer models are marketed under the scarlett name, theres also clarett and saphire under the focusrite brand. Great video tho
@@laussethecat excuse me? so you took the time to listen to stuff i did like 5 years ago? yeah, i recorded that without a proper ADC and with virtually no hardware, i was 17 and in high school, didn't even have a good guitar or pedals, i used a 5 dollar dynamic mic that isn't even to pair with a 57 and didn't know anything about music production, i'm an audio engineer now. What's your point? i didn't even say the scarlett was bad, it's ok, but limited, the main reason it's low consumer end is because it only has 2 I/O and in some instances i believe 4inputs and just two main outputs, try to record a drum kit with that kind of ADC. To my knowledge you can't expand its preamp input bia dante or any digital protocol, so if you plan on expanding later you'll need to buy a bigger system anyway, that is why it's a low range consumer model. Focusrite also markets their clarett and saphyre with their preamp sound but to my own experience they are noisey and not even that good, the regular preamps on them, tho, sound almost the same as the ones in the 2/2 scarlett to me, but i digress... what's your point? have a nice one
when he said, "if you guys don't like a part/ fell its not up to par" i was expecting him to say to keep doing it until its good. Then he hit us with the autotuning lmao.
This video is very outdated compared to how it’s done now. I would definitely tell you to stay tuned because it gotten light years better with my effects and approach
Hey man, thanks for the video. Really informative! Just wanted to let you know that when you're talking about the USB Focusrite by Scarlett... that's an Audio Interface, not a pre-amp. It has a pre-amp build in (that's what the 48V are for) but when you talk about preamps, those are external pre-amps. To give an example: Neve 1073, that's a famous pre-amp which looks similar to an audio interface, but it's not the same. After connectic your microphone to an external pre-amp you still need it to go trough an Audio Interface like your Scarlett Focusrite to work on your computer. Much love :)
Congrats for the video. I guess there's a lot of interesting things around Kevin Parker's productions. Usualy he has a very strong bass and drums to creat the song's body. One video about that kind of effects could be interesting :)
Step 1: Sing flawlessly into the mic exactly like Kevin Parker
Step 2: Apply effects
Step 3: Profit
r0bophonic bro trust me no one sounds like him.
There’s just no way to get those nuances!
keep working at it, youll have it in your grasp before you know it
@@AustinMarshmallows actually I thought this Kevin isolated vocals
lmao, so right
@@AustinMarshmallows haha I just discovered my comment got a bunch of likes. All meant in the spirit of praise my friend. Thanks for this fantastic tutorial. Loving your originals too and looking forward to more!
Bruh your dry vocals are amazing. Usually people on UA-cam have trash dry vocals.
UrLeftNipple I try. But his voice is so unique I’m surprised I got away with it sounding this alright
Austin Cargill alright?? Bro, your vocals sound almost identical to Kevin’s. You got a gift. Keep doing stuff like this!
Holy shit I thought he was just using Kevin's vocals to show us.
Damn the guy can actually sing, I was thinking he was playing the stems 😂
Giovanni Nodari damn thanks dude
Austin Cargill do you make music and have an Instagram?
Giovanni Nodari my sound cloud is Austincargill and my instagram is Austinmarshmallows
Same xD
lol I love that I can hear somebody playing cod zombies in the background
best vocal tutorial i've seen in a while! Straight simple and to the point
Dude your voice has so much upper range shine even before applying the EQ that’s such a nice quality to have in your voice haha
why hasn’t this blown up yet
because he's literally just applying compression, eq, and delay which is the most common vocal chain ever. Great video, but it's nothing viral worthy.
Man this is totally mind blowing, this is the closets I’ve heard to tame impala recording sound
The only video that showed me exactly everything I need to see , thank you 🙏🏾
*UPDATE*
This tutorial is very old! A brand new updated version with more correct processes is coming very soon, and will fix all the shortcomings that this one had. thank you for watching!
I can’t wait for that!! When do you think it’ll be up?
Did you ever post it?
Maybe dumb question but are all your vocals going to the same bus? Or do you differ any of the effects/EQs for the doubles or harmonies?
Step 1: Write a tame impala melody
Step 2: write tame impala lyrics
Step 3: record tame impala stuff
step 4: watch this video
step 5: apply tame impala effects chain
step 6: be tame impala ;)
also, very well done re-creation!
i did this step by step without realizing it lmao
when i heard that demo i thought I was listening to the original
This man sounds like kermit the frog when he talks but sings like an angel haha... great video man!
Honestly that's huge compliment to their singing, shows really really good range haha
pretty rare to see a vocal mixing video that is straight to the point and makes sense these days. Your vocals sounded exactly like kevin's, I couldn't tell the difference, very good work!
6:20 who’s playing black ops
lool i swore i heard the mystery box
My friend Katie!
Damn I never knew about the vocals flex pitch and I’ve been working with logic for years...
Dude you nailed it and explained it to a 5 years old. Now everyone will be tame impala.
would loooove this on Ableton
very well done dude. this is just what I was looking for.

Well done! You are a naturally good teacher
I refer to this video the most. thanks Austin. please keep making more videos.

HOLY SHIT YOUR DEMO IS SO FUCKING AMAZING
You nailed 99.9% of the tone
this is so awesome! i have been looking for kevin vocal guides and this is by far the one that everyone needs
really good job! you sound a lot like him haha
Please make more videos about Tame Impala!!
I thought it was Kevin's real voice! hahaha! I always had an idea of the effects he used on his voice, but I really liked the result so similar that you get with the process you do
6:20 who's playing zombies?
wow you don’t know how much this about to change my life. remember and i will come back here thank u.
😂
your vocals are insane
Great work!!
Oh shit! An authentic tutorial that actually sounds good!
juvo thank you!

Those dry vocals are lit
This is exactly what i NEEDED!!!!! Thank you.
you are incredibly talented please keep uploading!!!
Thank you, this was really helpful and I am using it right now. Fixed a problem I couldn't figure out for a while!
Also the importance of singing your doubled vocals exactly the same, if not it really doesn't work
This is unreaaal!! 🤯🖤 somebody else heard that in the room nextdoor someone was playing COD zombies?😨🤗 mystery box included!!!
Pls never delete this
Dude, I loved your accapella Borderline--your voice is amazing! I'll watch this even though I've never done karaoke. Thanks for sharing!
Wow dude! U are very professional
Can’t believe there’s a UA-cam channel on 2/3 of the songs I listen to. Thanks, Austin.
I'd advice you to sidechain the delay to the vocals. So they do not overtake the vocals.
@Logan Bolton It's very common practice with EDM stuff to do that with delays and longer reverbs, yeah... It can be used more subtly as a mixing thing or more directly as a substitute for automation.
bro you craazy. well done.
this deserves a sub
hell yes, you killed that! I've been looking for a tutorial like this for awhile, major props dude.
YOUR VOICE IS AMAZING
this is dope man, thanks for uploading!
Actually the brand is focusrite, the low end consumer models are marketed under the scarlett name, theres also clarett and saphire under the focusrite brand. Great video tho
Still sounds better than you with the "low end consumer model" Scarlett

dude these tutorials are super helpful

Subbed!!! More tame Impala please!!!!!! Your doing God's work my friend. Been searching for this vocal technique forever
joshua tolle I’m thinking about breaking down every song and instrument from every album. What do you think?
incredibly helpful, great explanation, keep up the awesome work
bro thank you so much, you have no idea how much you just helped my track. Im going to send it to you when im finished.
This is criminally close to the original vocals. Damn.
man thanks a lot for the upload. please keep em coming!
when he said, "if you guys don't like a part/ fell its not up to par" i was expecting him to say to keep doing it until its good. Then he hit us with the autotuning lmao.
David De La luna haha you gotta do what you gotta do.
Super inspiring stuff, thanks!
This is amazing, thanks for sharing brethren!
Amazing. Thanks so much
This video is very outdated compared to how it’s done now.
I would definitely tell you to stay tuned because it gotten light years better with my effects and approach
Thank you for recording this amazing helpful video!
Great job!
I think he has a strong influence form John Lennon style in songs such as Lucy in the sky... etc. although mister Parker doesnot recognize it...
Yes he does. He has said many times the the beatles were one of his big influences
i swear someone is playing black ops zombies in the background i hear the freaking mystery box
You’re amazing bro
really enjoyed this video man
You're a great singer.
oh my god you're so talented
you did a really good job
This is awesome
thank you!
I used to listen to that song when it came out a lot, when he played his version I generally thought it was borderline
That is pretty damn close !!!! Congrats man!!
@6:20 Bro someone’s in the back opening the mystery box on cod zombies
Great video btw!!
Amazing video!
