[@AdamChamness]

was he having voice problems? i really wonder about it sometimes. you can tell the vocal styling has changed a bit since Vessels. Not going as hard, relying on synth-y voice filters, ..and now the 2nd album in less than 6 months? I wonder if he's trying to get as much out as possible before he loses his "energy"

[@hunk8299]

@@AdamChamness There's no 2nd album in 6 months. Vessels 2.0 was basically just a re-release I wouldn't call it an album on it's own.

NMages20 he’s improved a lot. It seems he’s been working in his live performance and voice.

[@julioreysctrs6432]

I don't know but some clean screams of Dustin sound like the voice of Adam gontier the vocalist of three days grace

[@jimjob1056]

He has a bit of rasp to his voice, and he uses that in certain parts to get something that sounds almost like a scream but not quite, probably because he is adding distortion to a lower note then adding rasp onto it. Rather than doing a low fry scream where you have the vocal fry then you add distortion, though you fan tell when he properly screams cause you can hear the vocal fry pretty clearly

[@forzafan92]

you know, i dont mind him using a voice changer, i thought it would be cheating, but then i realized it just adds to the experience

[@ultimatetrishbhatia]

But those are technically sound effects, and he obviously can't do that naturally, so I don't think it's cheating

[@alfredmehchi]

[@dukeguerra4707]

A lot of you saying that Dustin's voice improved. From what?? Since 2005 with Downplay til now, he's always been an amazing singer. Saw Starset live 3 years ago and guess what? His voice was amazing then too. Not to mention, I am a trained vocalist and Dustin is not the easiest to cover. So, what am I missing here?

[@thegamerpokemon5767]

There was a lot of people in some of the Vessels and Transmission tracks that downplayed his live performances, using the Satellite live performance as an example, and thus saying his voice is only good in the songs because of the editing. I think people base it off that.

[@faithk1004]

He’s been touring for a while and his voice has been pretty bad and scratchy for the past year. He’s an amazing live vocalist but his voice was overworked. He has improved while he took a short break before this concert.

[@Zichqec]

@@faithk1004 When I went to the live concert near me last year, his voice sounded pretty tired. I still greatly enjoyed the performance, if I'm going live it's not for studio quality music, it's for the show. And yknow what? Hearing his voice sounding so tired and strained made me realize that even despite that, he was still being completely genuine with no tuning or lipsyncing, and I respect that. Had an absolute blast, looking forward to doing it again! But I do sincerely hope he gets the rest he needs

Idc what anybody says his voice is incredible I’m not deaf either ppl can bitch and complain how it’s not his “best” when he tries his best to put on a great show it’s honestly disgusting to put an Artist down they do see and watch everything ppl post think about what you say before you post it just because it doesn’t “fit” your image of “perfect” doesn’t mean his performances suck it means you’re just trying to look for something perfect that doesn’t exist.

Mangalcı kerem yes hi hello do you take constructive criticism?

[@jakubSwaps]

Dustin still has a lot of work to do on his vocals. He sounds absolutely amazing on the records but he's not been able to reproduce the quality or intensity live as of yet. The first couple of live performances of Starset that I heard were really not easy to listen to, I was definitely disappointed. I have to say I can definitely tell that he's improved but it's definitely not quite there yet. He's got a killer voice and I'm sure he's working hard on it so I'll be excited to see more of his progress in the future. He'll make it count.

[@Yeeto767]

Finally, some honesty

[@flamehaze59]

Well, STARSET songs are always hard to sing, so he can't reproduce this difficulty live, obviously

[@jakubSwaps]

​@@flamehaze59 Nah that's not it. He's just not hitting a lot of the notes quite in tune. Might actually be strained.

[@maartenlesscher4434]

I'm not sure but they've been doing this for pretty long by now. Probably for about a year. I saw them live and it really does give them a great look. Before they tended to look a bit uncoordinated. Big fan though.

[@vakarian]

I find many of their songs hard to sing like... entirely and also seems to be Dustin hard of hearing himself while this live performing

[@liqurmeup]

Wish they did not come on a Wednesday, when they did. I would have loved to see them perform in Reno, NV. I bet it was a good show. I hate it when bands do that.

[@DTenacity]

Be realistic, if bands catered to fans schedules...then they would only play on Saturday and Sunday. Bands need to be able to make a living. If you really want to see a band... you would sacrifice sleep (if your in school) or request the next day off from work. No excuses.

[@liqurmeup]

@@DTenacity no it means they did not expect a big turn out hense a week day show. Maybe be less greedy and wait for a weekend and there might be a bigger turn out. Us normal working people cant just take time of from work. If I was some dumb kid and in my 20s sure but I'm not. Breaking Benjamin and Korn are coming on a Saturday in February, they know what's up. Yes I have tickets. All the BS aside it would have been nice to go see Starset. Maybe next tour.

[@DTenacity]

Im not some dumb kid...I also work for a living. I’m 53 years old. When Starset releases Demonstration dates...you usually have at least 2 months to get your shit together and request a day off. If you can’t afford to take a day off work I understand. I give my employer 2 months notice. BB and Korn tour during the week as well. It just happened to be lucky for you that your date happened to land on a Saturday. So BB an Korn don’t know what’s up. Look up their tour dates. You’re naive if you think they only tour on Saturdays.

[@waynefilkins8394]

Honestly he should just program all his effects he uses on the albums into a mic somehow. So that all the effects come out live, but he's technically still singing live. With any other band i'd be mad if they did that, but these guys are all about technology. They should go full on tech and just own that persona. They are supposed to be from the future or w/e so fuck it man build a damn custom mic with Arduino, make that shit voice command so you just tell it what song you're going to sing and it has all the preset effects ready. He sounds good live, it's just difficult to recreate what we hear on the album because there's a lot of special effects thrown in, so not saying he's not doing great because he is... I just like all the high-tech. stuff. I was even thinking about designing helmets for them with actual holographic projections like in their music video. They used special effects for that video, but that can actually be done and if they wore that shit on stage it would be so badass. With enough tech. they could pretty much like like time travelers or something.

[@avryantoinette]

I just got back from one of their concerts a couple of hours ago and Dustin did some of that. Most of the time it just sounded like him, but there were a few parts of certain songs where you hear various effects being used. I thought it was an awesome balance.

[@ghosilus]

I don't agree with you, the way he sings without effects is just delicious. Maybe one or two songs can be played like you said to excite the crowd and stuff. But look at them already having much fun. Also I myself listened some performances with effects and you know, it doesn't give the feeling I seek.
