Tuli hommattua uusin Def Leppardin levy ja "yllättäen" siinä on taas niin sliipatut laulustemmat, että huh huh (siis sekä positiivisessa että negatiivisessa mielessä).
Koska en itse tiedä vokaaliosuuksien tuottamisesta yhtään mitään, niin voisiko joku kertoa miten nuo sliipatut laulustemmat saadaan aikaan? Kitarat (kaikki vasureita):
Ibanez RG-550,
Ibanez PF-200,
Ibanez "Jem",
Charvel 3,
Schecter Omen-7,
Wolf KS-70,
Wolf KS-70LX,
Wolf KP3C,
Wolf-SS,
Landola F6/Cut |
Mike Shipley ( Mutt Langen oikea käsi) kertoo itse aiheesta näin:
For the Def Leppard backing vocals on "pour some sugar" we layered 3 people singing in unison on 20 tracks..bounce them to one track..do another 20 tracks and bounce them to one track....EQ'ing heavily on the bounces ..then we would repeat the process..we would rebounce the vocals a few times ..taking out the offensive frequencies very heavily on a narrow bandwidth first the honky frequency build up , then the shrill middle freq. the same way so the sound ends up kind of "concave" sounding with a lot of smooth high end.
One of the biggest parts of the sound though , is how Mutt would make everyone over emphasize the diction of the words...hard to explain...being animated in the pronunciation of the words gets the sound of the those B/V's....so does how tight the tracking up is...but by that record , Mutt and the Leps had had a lot of practice in tracking up vocals. With some of the 4 part harmonies we would end up with had such a distinct sound 'cos of Mutts voice. We would actually wear the tape out on the 2" because of playing and replaying the tape for months and months and......months.
We would not use reverb on the B/V's ..but I would use multi tap delays to thicken and widen the sound as much as I could..but of course , even more eq in the mix!
Hope this helps.
P.S ..."back then" we didnt have samplers and working out the offsets for the tape machines to fly the vocals was such a pain in the ass !!!
On their previous album I had to fly the vocals in to the choruses from half inch..two tracks at a time for however many pairs there were for all the harmonies and fitting it all on 24 tracks !!!
I don't take Protools for granted these days!!
I also used to have to fly in Queen's B/Vs as an assistant engineer and that was really very tricky because of so many overlapping parts its so different to how we do it now "cut and paste " wasn't even in the English language yet !!! |
Olisiko ollut rockin klassikkolevyjen Hysteria -jaksossa, kun selitettiin, että köörit on vedetty valtavasti yliartikuloiden ja suun liikkeitä liioitellen. Että siitä on saatu jotakin lisää soundiin.
Itse kokeilin yhdessä vedossa matalaan oktaavistemmaan, ja kyllä vaan, soundikin kasvoi. A waist is a terrible thing to mind. |
