Learned a great trick from an engineer friend of mine. The technique if you are singing huge vocal stacks is to sing just the vowel sounds on the backings in the stack. In your case, it would be “oh or woo.” Cuts down on sibilance, too!
I have a video on that! Good one!
Heard this technique too. All that splattering of consonants all mashing together is a bloody atrocity. I do the same thing when I have a gang vocals that includes at least a dozen takes.
@@BobbyHuff gotta be careful to clear the studio out when you’re doing it. Anyone walking in on you would think you’re having a go at people with a speech impediment!
But this only presents other levels of complications to get the modified vocal to sound consistent, with additional burdens on the singer and burdens on the engineer. Really what this technique aims to do is blend a vocal track in the background, so the hard consonants are not heard. This can be done effectively without modifying the singing by setting the mic off axis to the singer. If I’m doing unison doubling or anything up to about the fifth, I’ll sing at about 90 degrees to mic (the mic is basically pointing at the side of my head). Above the fifth, I’ll increase the angle. Anything in a higher or more energetic range, I’ll turn 180 degrees to the mic. It accomplishes the goal of a blended effect but allowing for unhindered singing. This way the burden is off the singer to have to change the physical performance and off the engineer to try to get everything to line up. Aside from needing some EQ shaping, the backing consonants are naturally muted and the track is practically mixed without touching a button.
@@scottstedeford7575 great idea, Scott. I normally sing across the mic at about 45 degrees to rid myself of plosives. Works brilliantly as we all “throw” from one side of our mouths naturally anyway. (To find out which, do a “ah hah, me hearties” pirate impressions. One side will feel natural to do…the other will feel weird). But your idea to go further to 90 degrees and beyond…hmmm…must try that. Only thing I can think of as a caveat is that your room needs to be very well treated, acoustically.
Repeated focusing on Mutt's harmonies and what he actually sang for Shania's albums was a "master class". This is even more "zoomed in"! Thanks for another gem, Dr Bob!
Bob, I'm absolutely knocked out with all your lessons. Absolutely amazing techniques really clearly explained. Phenominal! Thank you!
Mutt is a genius.... worked across so many musical genres..... thanks Dr Bob!!
Thanks for watching. Agreed!
so very honored to have known Mike and worked with him on many projects...he was a fantastic, first class engineer and a super great guy...RIP
LOVE the love for Shipley here. Shipley is hands down one of the finest mix engineers to ever Grace the Earth. His work on “Up” by Shania Twain, “Hands All Over” by Maroon 5, and the Allison Krause record he did is some of the best ever.
Great stuff Bobby! Thanks for sharing more of Mike's influence.
It is all in the details! Thank you Bob!
You bet!
really really smart! and yes those problems really became hugely apparent once you compressed the drums. I also like that you kept this example nice and tight, just a few measures worth to illustrate the problem and the solution.
Thanks for watching! I try and get to the point and not waste your time! Ha
Thanks Bobby, great tips -gold!
Thanks Bobby! Yes yes yes... your biggest TRUTH here is that the average listener
(not musicians) wants to clearly hear the singer, the lyrics and emotional authenticity.
Ha! That said, 90% of song lyrics absolutely suck... so it's understandable that producers
would try to disguise this mind-numbing fact :) 🙃
BOOOOOOOOOOOB!!!!! Mutt Lange is a genius! thank you for sharing this golden tricks :D
JAAAAAAAAV! Thanks as always for watching man!
Thanks again for these lessons. Very much appreciated!
My pleasure!
I think what they were going for with the synth stab was trying to emphasize the hook instead of traditional backing vocals. Maybe play the lick in a different octave and roll the volume down?
Great tips! Thanks Doc!
I’m so Ock WOOD!
Hahahaha
More excellent advice. Thanks Doc!
My pleasure!
You’re a $£UT 4 Mutt, that’s why I’m subscribed. Great info Dr. Bob! Thanks
Thanks for the sub!
Good stuff as usual Bobby, thx man!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Doc- good stuff !!!
My pleasure!!
Awesome. Thanks Bobby
Thanks Doc! 🙏🕊️
My pleasure!
Cool video but why oh why did you not play the whole mix again AFTER making all of the changes so we could hear the cumulative results of the changes???
Thanks! The video would be too long. These few examples should show that the process works for an entire song.
Soooo useful!!!! Thankyou!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic 🎉
Thanks 🤗
Do you always align vocals by hand, or is it just to show the process? Just curious if it's a preference (and maybe why)... I use vocalign project, usually... but also by hand if it's just an easy fix
I use Vocalign, by hand, and Cubase has an excellent internal “Vocalign,” tool. It all depends on which one seems to work best for that particular vocal.
Thanks!
Welcome!
after showing these tricks I hope everyones appreciation of the Beatles is greater. I love the beach boys but they didn't play on their records. the Beatles wrote and performed their own songs, with some tracks being done in 3 hours. Can the Dr do some examples of the beatles/George Martin/ Geoff emerick and the EMI staff. they changed the game.
They are my all time favorite!! Hard to know what to say other than learn to write the greatest pop songs ever written and then sing them and play making a perfect track!! Haha
@@BobbyHuff has you read Revolution the head? by Ian McDonald. breakdown of the writing and recording process of their songs. i van never decide which Beatle, song or album is my favourite. it changes like the Scottish weather.
I’ll give you drum machines, but after, say, 1980... I haven’t been a fan of musical production. It’s better, don’t get me wrong, but the phrase, “It might not match up to the grid”, makes me wanna puke.
I understand! The pros and cons of technology and the ever changing music business!
I agree Jay. Digital editing sterilized everything and the interwebs allowed any crap to be put out to the masses. Players used to have to learn to actually play in the pocket with feel. That’s why kids can put out tunes from their basement before they even learn to actually play. So little is worth bothering to listen to, but it’s out there none the less. Times change though and everyone gets to choose what they want. Just not my cup of tea either. Mixing like Bob is painfully tedious.
Can I have Mutt's phone number, please?
