I have never understood how a drummer can drum and sing at the same time, it's an amazing talent. This quartet have talent in spades.

[@guysdownstairs]

Thanks. A mystery as well to me. It is song dependent, though.

[@billiambass4308]

​@@guysdownstairs I didn't expect that! How do you get that vocal sound? Echo, reverb, but sharp, clear, right on key...jealous!

[@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer]

@@billiambass4308 This was our first attempt and I was just learning. I sent that vocal file to a friend with a "real" studio and he processed it. I'm not sure what he did with it, besides removing the bleed between phrases. I did the overall mix. I will say the vocal sounded much better when I got it back. Since then, my usual approach is compression, reverb, and a touch of delay set to eighth notes. I will attempt Melodyne if needed, but that seems to be a 50/50 thing at my skill level.
