Not huge diff imo. I liked it non auto tuned though.

Good rule. Been following it for years without knowing it had a name. Really is so much easier just to try something rather than argue about it....or wind up not trying it and never knowing if the idea woulda made it better.

Dave wasn't about vocal talent but telling a story.

"Mutt-ish" - love it!

That thwack sounds like shit. But noise is an old trick, lots of people have been doing it since the 80s at least.

Would you get that similar result that you mentioned before about singing 10 feet away from the microphone by turning your head away from the microphone and try to record yourself singing while your voice is away from the microphone(or your head not facing at the microphone)?

Great vid. SSL gate trick in combination might add to it (bury threshold, fast-medium release -- parallel). Love the spike sample in the Bogren Digital samples, adds well to most regular samples/real snares.

Hay doc! Hope your ok? Best wishes to you and yours! Stay safe!!!! ✨🙏🕊️👼

For the love of all that is holy why would anyone want to do this? What made Diamond Dave amazing is destroyed by "perfection". A big reason that most modern music sucks now is this kind of editing.

I like this! Very cool. Could also pan some left and right to widen the effect! 👍🏼 Gianni❤

Roy Thomas Baker !

EVH tunes down to E flat

Hi Bob. Very cool stuff! Sounds like Kevin Gilbert production (he did a very cool solo album with Nick D'virgilio). Like the song, yet we don't hear everything

Adding a multiband expander wouldn't do the same thing?

Great stuff again Bob! Now that is a wall that everyone can agree on :)

Awesome! Love it! I did this a wee while back in a caravan, only about 5ft away from the mic but it did give some very cool character to the overall bgv.. great to see the pros do it too!!! I'll keep experimenting!!! Thank you Doc! Have a fantabulous week!!! Bless 😎🙏🕊️✨👼🤗

Yes, very Mutt-ish 👍🏼

Even a tone-deaf person could hear that’s not Joe Elliott and Ken Tampon is all over Social Media to be fraud!!

To me, the most fascinating Mutt Lange BKVs are the “photograph” style ones where its almost synth-like in its perfection

this is amazing Sir. I bought your Mutt Type KIT last year and have taken onboard your suggestions on BVs. VERY VERY good. Thank you!

Congrats on the 40K subs. It's about damn time. Been rocking with you since you had 26K. Great video as always. Are we ever going to get a video on how to recreate the snare drum sound from "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" ???

Thank you, Bobby. I’m in the process of recording a song with a gang vocal outro. I have been referencing multiple videos you’ve made on the subject! I’ll share it when it’s completed.

Thanks Bobby - that was decidedly Muttish! 😄

BOOOOOOOOOOOB!!! Thanks for another great video!!

Thank you, thank you for this. This is exactly the "smack" I was looking for in the snare, and I've often heard this in latest Starset's albums mixed by Dan Lancaster. I think he's doing this very trick on the snares.

These songs are perfect homages! Wow! Where can I purchase them!

this is well done video about this legend sound kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6q4cmiwaZhljZosi=mCq5U-RVFw7pJ5Np

AWESOME 👍🏼

Love your videos. Thanks for breaking things as well as you do. I was in college studying recording engineering back in the late '80's - and we were constantly trying to replicate Mutt's production tricks with analog gear! It's fun 35 years later to have so many of his secrets revealed by you. Cheers!

Do you normally do the compression and delay on the busses? I get conflicting information about this. Spoke to one Engineer who does his major compression and eq only on individual tracks with perhaps only light bus compression and maybe some air with a pultec on the bus. I am going to start doing my reverbs and delays on the vocal bus rather individual tracks. It kinda makes sense as they would all appear in one room. Thanks.

Wow the tuned version sounds stale as hell. It literally sounds like singing into a pipe to prevent the sound waves from ever being free to vibrate.

Very interesting! I’ve always wondered how they created the Hysteria-style choruses. Thanks!

Always a treat to watch and learn!

Bobby - how you do not have a million subscribers is a mystery!

Hey, I'm new to your channel. I'm not trying to be a dick, but the quality of the audio recording of your voice at the beginning of the video-boomy, echo-y, recorded-in-an-untreated-room-with-a-tile-floor-y-kind of makes me think that anything you have to say about recording is probably garbage, since if you knew what you were doing you wouldn't release such terrible-sounding content. I hope I'm wrong, but it seems a little hard to accept-I can record better audio than that, and I'm an idiot who isn't very good at recording.

Great advice as always Dr Bob. Lots of fun doing things like this!

Superb Sir. Ive taken so much of what you have shown and added it to my songs. On my £500 PC and limited software, it great to see how its actually done. If i get over 1k streams, im happy! And i bought your Leppard Kit sound.... On the Lepp sound, Did MUTT use MIDI bass? Its sounds too perfect for a picked BASS....

Very cool!!! Sounds huge!!! Adding different characters to the same notes and layering like that really turns it into something else that scratches an itch!!! Here's to a huge n rockin new year Doc!!! 😎🙏🕊️✨🎸🎉😉

“Bring in the 3rd 2-inch 24 track for the backing vocals. Also, grab EVERYONE who is in the studio and send them over here”. - Sincerely, ML.

Great stuff Bobby! Definitely inspires a different way of thinking, how the blending of individual parts that alone would make no sense can create a powerful unique sound!

Bob, that's really nice.

Hello Doc. It's been a while I missed ur contents I just came back from surgery and am better now. Nice content thanks for sharing

Man, you nailed it Bob.

❤Again , another awesome tip you shared Brother.. I love the term “characters!!! “, It definitely differentiates the difference between “Common backing Vox” and “Vox with an Attitude” brings the song more to life ,good stuff !!

Brilliant! You've got great ears and awesome talent.

Every video is amazing! Thank you so much!

Tight vocals there Dr.! I wonder why Mutt doesn't do interviews. It would be so cool to hear him tell stories about the records he's made. Does he just not want to give secrets away? Shy? Too busy? I would love to know.

LOL Toad-Mode

I"m hoping you'll respond to this question. How do you have all the characters panned? I saw you do a video on this a while back but it wasn't as in depth. I've done it for part of an outro of a song and it works great. I realized just now that I should have done a lot more tracks to get my "crowd" sound.

Great video!
