Hey all, I'm using Cubase to record from:

Shure SM7B -> XLR cable -> cloudlifter CL-1 -> XLR cable -> Scarlett 8i6 (Phantom Power On - Gain = 7) -> USB cable -> laptop.

I have both the stock pop filter on the mic itself as well as a pop filter attached to the boom stand.

Hi, can you guys tell me what is the kind of mic that the screamer uses in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxAeeedlzt4 at 2min12 ?

Thanks !

Finished Thread.

Recorded a hardcore band and the screamer was very inconsistant and his scream is a bit weak and breathy at times.
What's the best way to beef them up and make them more consistant? Compression? Delay?

Thanks for the help

hey, i started singing not too long ago, i have a crappy mic, I'm gana get a new one after christmas or so, so i need to know what to get, i scream, it varies from stuff like "tha agony scene", "as i lay dying" and "the devil wears prada", theres more but, just to give u an idea, i do a small bit of vocals, so i dont want it to be horible for that,i usually use aduacity on my pc to cover songs,

Well, I record a lot of speed punk music (think old DRI, RKL, Suicidal Tendencies, etc...), and I've just about had it with my Audix OM5. I just can't get a natural sound out of it: it isn't bright enough; I have to EQ so much it just sounds unnatural by the time I get it to the point where the vocals are clean and cutting.

i was wondering if anyone had some useful information on this. I'm prety sure there would have to be different techniques involved. I'm particular interested in getting that throaty sound that is like vocal distortion caused by the larynxs clashing together, but emphasizing it naturally by proper micing, not by resorting to distortion plugins like so many screaming bands do nowadays.

I had this in the vocal booth but got no responses so I'm reposting here, sorry!

I'm recording vocals for a screamo band. This is my chain:

AKG 535EB > Groove Tubes Brick > RNC comp > ADA > VS-880EX

Hi all,
