the only effects ive used is very mild distortion on vocals in the background on one song

unless you count layered vocals here and there

Haz 03-27-2012 11:27 PM

yeah im sure you don't add compression

[QUOTE]turn down the reverb geez. otherwise pretty good

@brent[/QUOTE]

if you listen to the song, the dude (internet friend) has a lot of reverb on his vocals

it fits the song, but yeah I like this vocal eq I got now I think, will need some feedback from others

publicastration 03-27-2012 11:35 PM

your vocals sound like they're clipping

adbforever 03-27-2012 11:49 PM

they are yeah

it will be fixed for cgm, my guitarist will know what to do to get rid of it

i added compression and it sounds better now

publicastration 03-27-2012 11:55 PM

um do they clip before all the effects? cause there's no way to fix that sans rerecording them

adbforever 03-28-2012 12:01 AM

i dont know, i dont have my raw takes anymore

it'll be fixed either way for official recordings, this was just for fun

gonna try reason

StaffReviewer 03-28-2012 05:54 AM

i downloaded it once but didnt really like the interface
you can do all kinds of shit w/ it though. like generative music

[QUOTE=adbforever;18836141]yeah im sure you don't add compression[/QUOTE]
yeah im sure a dismissive comment will change the meaning of "no i don't use effects on my voice"

adbforever 03-28-2012 06:55 AM

eq and compression are standard effects used for vocals fathead

what settings did u use for the compression

yeah im thinking of using it rewired trhough FL for single uses or whatever seems to work

right now i have a drum track and synth gating and sidechained through reasons cool routing interface in a few different ways

thats going into fl where its mixed and a bass, and more drums are

idk just gonna find out how to use it

some great sounds can be made with it, idk it doesnt really change anything that i had big problems with but it could heklp me approach making tracks better and not get bored or exhausted etc

(*The Sacred Chao*) 03-28-2012 07:34 AM

there sure is some sort of different sound coming out now

[QUOTE=adbforever;18836272]eq and compression are standard effects used for vocals fathead[/QUOTE]

the only eq you should really be putting on it is a high pass filter

Juddybear 03-28-2012 08:29 AM

hey brent you have the body of a 12 year old girl how does that feel

[QUOTE=adbforever;18836272]eq and compression are standard effects used for vocals fathead[/QUOTE]

stating something really obvious doesn't mean that i use effects

like seriously, how hard is this for you to grasp?

p.s. you very obviously use reverb as a crutch

rasputin 03-28-2012 11:36 AM

obv im the best vocalist here

witchxrapist 03-28-2012 12:35 PM

i like ur vox

me and my buddy r recording nao, he just finished tracking the 80 layers of guitar bout to do sum vox

publicastration 03-28-2012 02:27 PM

[QUOTE=StaffReviewer;18836338]nah[/QUOTE]

depends on the kind of vocals but if the take / voice is good you really don't need eq

publicastration 03-28-2012 02:28 PM

also my skramz are pretty epic guys

Morumbar 03-28-2012 04:34 PM

Mappy, are you ever gonna record new Father material?

i only use reverb because I haven't been able to eq my vocals to get them louder and stand out in the mix

its cool because I finally made an eq last night that has minimal reverb. so stfu fatty

remember: my stuff is diy, not studio shit

this is one of the dumbest posts i've ever

Gorgon 03-28-2012 05:10 PM

turn up your vocals you clot

are you recording with a webcam mic or something?

adbforever 03-28-2012 05:12 PM

lmao gorgon its not as simple as that idiot

Morumbar 03-28-2012 05:15 PM

I like lots of reverb. I think it fits the track very well too, the vocals just aren't settled into the mix very well and the reverb is kind of awkward here. Your highs are good, Brent. Your lows could use a bit more power, though. I have the same problem, but the other way around. I can't reach those typical bm highs.

Tyler 03-28-2012 05:17 PM

[QUOTE=adbforever;18836841]lmao gorgon its not as simple as that idiot[/QUOTE]

isnt it though? you turn it up and the other tracks down idk are you recording on an iphone or something

adbforever 03-28-2012 05:19 PM

yeah I know what you mean yuri, It was hard for me to mix in a mastered vocal track into an already mastered song, i think it came out ok but im obviously still working on all that.

i'm positive my vocal eq i made sounds better with less reverb, but there will be parts where there will be reverbed parts like on that cover. I even made a vocoder eq that sounds really good too, I'm stoked to record vocals

as for range, I think it's rare for someone to have really good high/low range. Mappy does but I hate his highs so it's moot

adbforever 03-28-2012 05:21 PM

[QUOTE]isnt it though? you turn it up and the other tracks down idk are you recording on an iphone or something[/QUOTE]

no. you can only turn up vocals so loud until they start peaking. that still doesn't do shit in a mix where everything else has to be near peaking. (drums, bass, guitar)

basically you want your music to sound loud and evenly mix, and it can only be clearly made with various effects. eq, compression, reverb, and others are the norm

publicastration 03-28-2012 05:29 PM

did you just copy that out of an audio production for dummies book brent

adbforever 03-28-2012 05:37 PM

im giving them the simple to understand reason why it's not simple as turning everything up

basically if you listen to my drifting icon ep MY PROJECT from two years ago, you can see what happens when no compression, eq, or anything is added and everything is turned the fuck up

[url]http://www.box.com/shared/xu0yof0qmi[/url]

doesn't sound too good does it, even if it was recorded with a better mic it would still not be that great

Gorgon 03-28-2012 06:35 PM

why do drums/bass/guitar need to be near peaking?
:S

if you want it loud just turn up the amp, what the fuck?

SheenaShiva 03-28-2012 07:21 PM

reproduce some pink and yellow with compression and eq

shortz 03-28-2012 07:24 PM

Brent that cover, obv I can't compare it to the original 'cause I haven't heard it but your vocals sounded weird. Well no not weird, just...I dunno, the timing sounded off? At least it sounded off to me. Other than that your vocals are good. Like Yuri said though, the lows could be stronger, but I've said that many a time.
