@@frodo3556 I think he doesn't like when people use distortion just to mask up the fact that they can't scream. If you are able to scream well and use it as an effect to enhance the performance, I think it creates some great soundscapes! Have you checked our tutorial on Filosofem vocals?
@@erymanthonseth9295 Just watched it, there are some pretty cool tips inside! I'm currently working on a BM project and our vocalist definitely can scream, gonna keep your words in mind. Thanks mate!
I'd be interested in a tutorial for vocals like Beherit. Drawing Down the Moon is so interesting to me, and it's a very unique style, at least to me. That would be so cool! Nice vid, as always.
Good job, man. I noticed you use the same mixing headphones as mine ones. I really liked the part where you just troll people that "screams" like a cheerleader, I always wondered why they do not search for another singer or just learn how to fu**ing SCREAM. Anyway, have you ever tried the plugin by Joey Sturgis "Gain Reduction" as a vocal compressor? It's awesome and made for screaming vocals in particular, I always use it in my mixes. Keep the good work man
Using a distortion on your vocals can sound great if you don't abuse it. Slight distortion adds saturation, color to your vocals, even pop, rap artists use distortion on their vocals.
@@zimorog Yeah but saturation is just basically distortion lol and rap is a good criterion in my opinion because rappers have huge production value and their songs are being mixed/mastered by really good producers
@@furkna5797 ofc they have good production cuz a lot of them can't sing. their vocals need tons of effects. even distortion lol. And just opened my native pack of (saturation included) and any effect can be turned into distortion if you crank it lol.
i really hate making self promotion, but i would love to hear a feedback from you from my latest song. I tell you this because it is the first time i am happy with the sound and the vocals itself AND Your video on making black metal vocals encouraged me trying to sing that style. Before it seemed impossible to me and i stuck at making guttarls. THX for that!
Sablast, hello! Could you please clear one thing up, the darkthrone album under the funeral moon was recorded with one guitar, so there is only one guitar track, and bass, so does it mean that they have the whole song in the middle, and no first guitar 30 to the left and the second to the right, and blahblah it means that this album is in mono?
Sablast! I am a bit confused, could you possibly give your advice, Im writing the lyrics for the song, and i want to combine some piece of my lyrics with the poem of Tarjei Vesaas and i dont know if this is okey, my friends say that this is not right and that i should separate it into different songs, but i think that it sounds decent, how do you think? Maybe it is a bad idea in general to combine lyrics.... Barbarian lands (the Journey) Somewhen we return to these lands Where our Mothers mourn For the loss of their sons These bleak cold vast barbarian lands Hostile to the strangers Used to comfort us under the wide branches Of its old firs. With careful tread we stepped upon the cherished moss of these forests At last we emerged from the night mist No one recognized anyone now The faculty was lost on the journey No one asked: who are you? We couldn't have answered We had lost our names Far away hammered an unbending heart Still at work We listened without understanding We had come Farther than Far. (This song contains the lyrics from the poem of the Norwegian poet and novelist Tarjei Vesaas "The Journey") From the moment "At lat we emerged..." Begins the poem of Tarjei Vesaas
Levels? Gain reduced? What is this nonsense... Only good advice here: don't use distortion, but for the rest your vocals always need to hit the red in the levels, guitars needs to be louder than the vocals and the vocals have to be heard even over a guitar without a mic, but cool video tho
i've seen a lot of tutorials, read a lot of articles.. and i know only 20% about mixing in my opinion. But this is the first time i hear about this method.
@@zimorog yeah, I hope it's the first time you hear about this, cause my method is the worst possible lmao, don't worry I wasn't really serious, but what I said is definitely how I do it, but your technique is really good actually, I think, just too professional for me (and maybe for some other Raw BM fans out there also)
The best way to record is to TRY, TRY, TRY.
Truth!! You’ll get the take you want eventually
@@officialpostfoodscerealyou379 For 22 years of recording, I learned something.😉
Sablast: DON'T PUT DISTORTION ON YOUR VOCALS
*Sad Filosofem noises*
Jokes aside, great tutorial mate!
I honestly would like to hear why he said that. Distortion can actually sound pretty cool if used subtle on Vocals (in my opinion at least) ^^

You helped me learn a few things. Thanks for this tutorial!

i will try it! thanks for the recommendation!
I actually put distortion and/or fuzz pedals on my vocals and it makes it better
We just scream directly into a phone and add light reverb. Works for us
Still waiting on that "What is Post Black Metal video!!"
true what even is post black metal lmao
xD
some slight distortion on actual black metal vocals can sound awesome as fuck
Can you do a video on recording drums?
yep, had that in mind
😃 Great, looking forward to it
Good job Sablast !

saturation exists as an individual effect. and rap isn't a good criterion for vocal production..

Copy/pasting your comment with my inserts:

You’re the man
You’re that guy
Can you show us or write here the settings on reaverb deleay etc because i can't find the sweet spot
Great video .THANK you ! 👍👍👍
Wait doesn’t xasthur use voice distortion?
Yup and so does burzum :p
Yes guys I also like the 90s without so much back and raw, what is this?
I like your lamps!! They make a difference in the sound!! LMAO!! like how you say, VOKALZ!! LOL
If you're not recording with Fischer Price gear, you're not TRV3 !
Hi bud hat equipment do you use for recording thats
I oddly enough leave everything on 0 when I record, guitar and vocals

That was really really good!! btw, saw that you did Devo - Whip it... i love that song xD good one aswell!
@@zimorog wow thx man!!!! you made my day!!!
Damn I was just looking for this type of video, my vocals totally sucked in the mix

yup haha, that was a really weird thing for me too because the album before (blaze) and after (hunger) were recorded with 2 guitars (studio)
Hehe Maria Kolokouri , Nicolas Maiis , looks like ...
Lol what if you put distortion on your naturally distorted screams
Fain vid, good sounds of guitars 👍Vocals is a little to loud in mix on my ears 😉 Fain tutorial, fly the sub. Regards from Poland, stay black 🤘Cheers 🥃
I usually lower them but when i do these videos i try to make it a bit louder so people can see what's going on, and thanks!

Barbarian lands (the Journey)
Somewhen we return to these lands
Where our Mothers mourn
For the loss of their sons
These bleak cold vast barbarian lands
Hostile to the strangers
Used to comfort us under the wide branches
Of its old firs.
With careful tread we stepped upon the cherished moss of these forests
At last we emerged from the night mist
No one recognized anyone now
The faculty was lost on the journey
No one asked: who are you?
We couldn't have answered
We had lost
our names
Far away hammered
an unbending heart
Still at work
We listened without understanding
We had come
Farther than Far.
