    Throwing a deesser on reverb. Ugh that is genius. Never thought to do that. Used to just carve it with EQ for hours.

    lmaoooooooooooooooo ... "STUCK WITH SCREAMS THAT SOUND LIKE THIS" I laughed sooooooo damn hard man. 100% me 12 years ago haha. Unreal what happens the more time you put in on research. Great vid. Gonna save people a lot of time.
    I used an old closet for booth. Found GREAT foam at my local Lowes. It is CRAZY how much of a difference it made. The plexi i used for the door is amazing too. Computer mods are in the room with me too, so I can edit on the fly while getting crisp playback.
    When a musician gets into this world of guitar, vocal, drums, it's like finding the land of milk and honey.

  • @thesonicsolution1976
    @thesonicsolution1976 2 роки тому +19

    Just curious, I noticed that you had the singer up against the wall at around the 3:03 mark. In a smaller room is it better to keep them closer to one wall? You guys are known for excellent mixes and tracking so was just wondering what your theory was on being that close to a wall vs getting them closer to off center of the room. Thanks.

    • @joeymusic
      @joeymusic  2 роки тому +26

      If you're close to a wall, make sure that the back of the mic is pointing at the wall. The back of the mic is the point of rejection. The wall creates reflections. So you want to REJECT REFLECTIONS.

    @ratrophy Рік тому

    Is this the same EQ you would get by Howard Benson Vocals plugin? Same question for compression etc... Thats the problem for me with these plugins. If you don't know, you'll probably ruin your mix completely, esp. if you're inexperienced. So either you rely on the plugin or you apply the instructions from tutorials such as this video. What do you think about that @Joey Sturgis Tones?

    Is it possible to record screaming vocals with a condenser mic or would you recommend buying a dynamic?

    • @joeymusic
      @joeymusic  Рік тому

      Depends on the vocal style and desired sound. I personally prefer condensers most of the time but I’ve used dynamic too. For Oceano, it was great to use an SM7B so he could hold the mic and get close to the mic - using his various screaming techniques.

    Is it generally better to use a dynamic or a condenser mic when tracking screams?

    • @joeymusic
      @joeymusic  Рік тому

      Depends on the type of scream and the desired sound. But also, if the screamer performs better holding a mic, then having a dynamic mic can be all that world of difference.
