[@spinlightstudios]

Thanks for watching legends! Hopefully you got something useful out of it 😄

These what I missed when I was to be in college. Thanks to KZbin and Spinlight Studio For Bringing The Presentation. I'VE LEARNED A LOT.

[@spinlightstudios]

Stoked to hear that! Thanks for checking it out!

[@isaacsitiakalaabwenje]

Do more Videos of this kind@@spinlightstudios

[@Gooseknuckle]

Great video! The micro shift is a nice touch. Also love seeing more metal content, keep it up!

[@spinlightstudios]

Thanks mate!

[@kleeo1991]

Ouch, those screams are painful. My throat hurts just listening to this. Great tips though, going to apply them immediately. Thanks!

[@diabeetus7132]

Enjoyed that so gonna give this a whirl, see what i can get!! :D

[@spinlightstudios]

Hope it’s helpful!

Not my favorite style of vocals - but super interesting lesson. I guessed at the beginning that we'd be seeing a comp, saturator, and a multi-band comp for de-essing. I didn't see the MicroShift or the Pultec coming though . Those were a cool addition. I always look forward to your videos. Another great one. Thanks.

[@spinlightstudios]

Thanks mate. Microshift is definitely a secret weapon on vocals when used right! And pultec always adds some nice sparkle when needed! Every now and then I do enjoy some heavier tunes and screams, it’s good to mix things up! But most of the time it’s more melodic vocals that I enjoy listening to :)

Sounds great, I want to learn to process vocals like this, might have to pick up a couple of those plugins you're using. Seen a ton of people using decapitator

[@spinlightstudios]

Soundtoys plugins are all over my mixes! They are older plugins now, but don’t fix it if it ain’t broke right?!

[@yungswampfire]

Decapitator is the king on this type of vocals , but this need parallel compresión and more distortion myop. Amazing video!

[@spinlightstudios]

You can always go harder if needed 👊🏻 I think it’s distorted enough personally, I think a better performance would enhance it and proper double tracking! This is a really old session and he was pretty young, still figuring it all out.

[@yungswampfire]

@@spinlightstudios I understand, I already subscribed to the channel I like your content 🤟🏻

[@spinlightstudios]

Thanks mate!

[@XRL7official]

Good stuff!

[@spinlightstudios]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@brownsnakestudios277]

Nice one bro, sounds great! one critique… did you iron ur shirt? presentation is essential…

[@spinlightstudios]

Haha thanks mate, no time for that 😂

[@Simula77]

Were the vocals recorded with an SM7B? I think the eq settings need to be quite different if you use a condenser mic like an NT1-A or such.

[@spinlightstudios]

No I don’t think so, I didnt own a SM7B back when I recorded this (2011) quite possibly tracked with an AKG 820 perception tube mic, which was my go to vocal mic back then. I think it’s depends on the voice a lot too. EQ always changes depending on the source and the mic choice

[@ciantar60]

When you send your tracks to bits groups, do you always keep the send level at 0.0 and then adjust the level of it on the send itself?

[@spinlightstudios]

No, just sometimes. It depends if I plan on doing any automation with it or just leave it static.

[@aekaruynaja682]

Wow Cool,

[@spinlightstudios]

Thanks!

[@JoelDubay]

Every time I hear one of these vocals, I just giggle. It’s so fucking silly.

[@spinlightstudios]

Haha but also kinda fun too 😂

[@antonbaton1120]
