First song with vocals (Metalcore content)

[Farcry0092]

Hey guys, heres another sample of the last song i put up, Crab People. Some of you may remember it in its instrumental version, but this last weekend me and my other band memebers were able to start putting some vocals on it. So here it is, with all of the harsh vocals and about half the cleans done!

sweet man what did you usefor the voice master?

 

[Farcry0092]

Thanks dude, all ive got on the vocals are an eq, de-esser, compressor, and reverb, all built into cubase and tweaked them both to fit the harshes and cleans differently.

I dig the vocals but mix seems to be quite muffed to my ears.

I feel like the vocal could come forward and that the reverb is possibly wrong for the voice.

 

[Farcry0092]

Hey thanks a lot guys! What do you suggest for fixing the muffling issue? Would eqing stuff different help?

As for vocal reverb, how do you mean possibly wrong? would maybe no verb be better?

Thanks for the help!

I feel like the vocal could come forward and that the reverb is possibly wrong for the voice.

the 'verb sounds kinda unnatural for the song... maybe like the band's playing in one room and the singer is (or singers are) in the bathroom....

You want to bus all the tracks to one reverb and balance the depth of the mix in that. I like to use a medium reverb if I want a close tight feel and a bigger room reverb if I want more epic feel

You want to then have a separate reverb for the vocals to use on top of the other one. Usually different to the other verb, can be small or large room or plate depending on taste. I like plate reverbs for this job though. You use this to push a vocal backwards in a mix if necessary.

You can also have another reverb on the snare if you like to give it some depth.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! This is my latest attempt, same vocal tracks, just different production on it.

Let me know what else I could change, Im kinda at a loss again.

thanks again!

The verb issue is better.

The vocals could still come forward.

Maybe experiment with some parallel compression on the vocals
