It can often be challenging when you sit down to mix screaming vocals.
They’re often harsh and rarely sound right in a raw state.
On top of sounding harsh, vocal tracks (in general) are often overly dynamic.
Our job as mixers is to get them sitting alongside our pummeling drums, fat bass and thick guitar tones….but how??
Even if you’re working with a great vocalist, it’s gonna take some solid mix moves to make your vocal tracks work within a mix.
I’m here to tell you that it does not need to be complicated.
In this tutorial “How To Mix Screaming Vocals” I show you my top tips on getting your screaming vocal tracks sitting right in your metal productions.
I do it all using simple EQ and compression techniques.
You don’t need any fancy equipment to pull this off.
No matter what gear nerds will tell you, you don’t need an outboard compressor or EQ to achieve the vocal sound you’re after.
As a matter of fact, the stock EQ and compressor plugins within your DAW will get the job done just fine.
