    Sablast: DON'T PUT DISTORTION ON YOUR VOCALS

      I honestly would like to hear why he said that. Distortion can actually sound pretty cool if used subtle on Vocals (in my opinion at least) ^^

      @@frodo3556 I think he doesn't like when people use distortion just to mask up the fact that they can't scream. If you are able to scream well and use it as an effect to enhance the performance, I think it creates some great soundscapes! Have you checked our tutorial on Filosofem vocals?

    I'd be interested in a tutorial for vocals like Beherit. Drawing Down the Moon is so interesting to me, and it's a very unique style, at least to me. That would be so cool!

    Good job, man. I noticed you use the same mixing headphones as mine ones. I really liked the part where you just troll people that "screams" like a cheerleader, I always wondered why they do not search for another singer or just learn how to fu**ing SCREAM. Anyway, have you ever tried the plugin by Joey Sturgis "Gain Reduction" as a vocal compressor? It's awesome and made for screaming vocals in particular, I always use it in my mixes. Keep the good work man

I tell you this because it is the first time i am happy with the sound and the vocals itself AND Your video on making black metal vocals encouraged me trying to sing that style. Before it seemed impossible to me and i stuck at making guttarls. THX for that!

    Using a distortion on your vocals can sound great if you don't abuse it. Slight distortion adds saturation, color to your vocals, even pop, rap artists use distortion on their vocals.

    • @zimorog

      saturation exists as an individual effect. and rap isn't a good criterion for vocal production..

    Sablast, hello! Could you please clear one thing up, the darkthrone album under the funeral moon was recorded with one guitar, so there is only one guitar track, and bass, so does it mean that they have the whole song in the middle, and no first guitar 30 to the left and the second to the right, and blahblah it means that this album is in mono?

    • @zimorog
      @zimorog  3 роки тому

  • @BlackOrc1988

    Sablast! I am a bit confused, could you possibly give your advice, Im writing the lyrics for the song, and i want to combine some piece of my lyrics with the poem of Tarjei Vesaas and i dont know if this is okey, my friends say that this is not right and that i should separate it into different songs, but i think that it sounds decent, how do you think? Maybe it is a bad idea in general to combine lyrics....
    Barbarian lands (the Journey)
    Somewhen we return to these lands
    Where our Mothers mourn
    For the loss of their sons
    These bleak cold vast barbarian lands
    Hostile to the strangers
    Used to comfort us under the wide branches
    Of its old firs.
    With careful tread we stepped upon the cherished moss of these forests
    At last we emerged from the night mist
    No one recognized anyone now
    The faculty was lost on the journey
    No one asked: who are you?
    We couldn't have answered
    We had lost
    our names
    Far away hammered
    an unbending heart
    Still at work
    We listened without understanding
    We had come
    Farther than Far.
    (This song contains the lyrics from the poem of the Norwegian poet and novelist Tarjei Vesaas "The Journey")
    From the moment "At lat we emerged..." Begins the poem of Tarjei Vesaas

    Levels? Gain reduced? What is this nonsense... Only good advice here: don't use distortion, but for the rest your vocals always need to hit the red in the levels, guitars needs to be louder than the vocals and the vocals have to be heard even over a guitar without a mic, but cool video tho
