One of the best kept Mutt secrets....Try this and you will be absolutely amazed!!!!! Doc The Doctors lounge Sign Up Link flatfiv.co/drs... Dr. Bob Store Link flatfiv.co/col...
Here we are 36 years later still dissecting Hysteria, still asking questions about the production, still wondering how they got certain sounds and how they accomplished certain techniques, still discovering buried secrets. Keep in mind computers were in their infancy at the time, with Mutt and band literally having to invent the necessary technology and gear to get the sounds they heard in their heads. Hysteria has to be the greatest mainstream record ever made. Anyone less than Mutt driving the band to get the most out of them, and this would not have worked.
additional tip, I try to avoid articulating hard consonants in my whisper tracks, like K's, T's, P's. I just focus mostly on the vowel sounds, and I find that it makes it cleaner, and prevents mouthy saliva clicks from creeping in.
I normally use Spiff to take care of harsh consonants and mouth clicks when I mix whisper tracks. But yes, if the vocalist can perform them cleanly for me, that's great.
That's awesome. I've heard that in so many of Def Leppard's tracks and never knew how they were getting that effect. Makes perfect sense now. It blends so well. It truly sounds like a crowd singing along with the chorus. Who knew? Thank you!
The first "whisper vocal" I can remember hearing was "Riders on The Storm" by The Doors. It was quite mesmerizing to hear it in such an epic track. Thanks for the great video, I appreciate how you broke down how to create this effect!😀
Actually it's the whitenoize effect and you do not need to whisper into new channels.. what u already have is enough.. mix down every 8 track with the same voicing into 2 tracks and use a vocoder which can turn your vocal signal into whitenoize (it sounds exactly like a whisper) back in the day I was using an old plugin for this OpCode Fusion VOCODE.. now Izotope vocal synth does the job.. after that use a slight panner too.. panman soundtoys is good for that..
I've noticed in addition to me it sounds like the low octave vocal was tracked with the tape running at slightly higher speed. The impacting result comes when the tape is played back at normal speed the low harmony has slower slurred(for lack of a better term) harmonic effect. Cool video
Mutt Lange had Phil Collen play single notes in a chord and layered them together instead of single chords in some sections. The clarity of the chord is insane.
Glad you are bringing this back. I was doing this on my tascam in the 80s. Didn't know it was a secret. Next thing, you will be slowing down the recording to half speed and recording vocals....
U Da Man Bobby! What a great tip. I've been a big Mutt fan for decades and you know how to explain all his magical tricks. Keep 'em coming! Thanks a bunch!
That intense whisper does give the multitracked vocal the raspy, menacing edge so distinctive of Pyromania, Hysteria, Waking Up The Neighbours. You've cracked Mutt's code! Brilliant lesson on texturing!
@@johnhutchison9782 Never recovered? Really???? That's why they were selling millions of albums after Willis left and had countless hits when they hired Mutt Lange to produce 4 of their albums. Lange is the one who largely gave the band their signature sound. Willis was a drunk who was fired for being drunk far too many times and been warned repeatedly over a two year period. Phil Collen took over in place of Willis and the band has been a success and still recording in the studio and touring pretty much ever since. Tell me again how they never recovered. Lol
@@IRIDEHARLEYS - it means DL never were the same creatively. Willis wrote and played on a lot of their last really good album Pyromania. He together with the others brought a vibe and magic to the band quite irrespective of his drinking. That vibe and magic was absent after. And an autotuned duck can sell albums, so I really don’t care how big Hysteria or later albums were. I respect the later work fine as an engineer but don’t listen to it as a music fan.
That’s a great technic. I feel like the whispers were mixed a little too hot in this example. Also back off the mic more when recording them to give it some natural space.idk about using reverse verb on the whispers. Those might sound better not swishing around. Whatever, I appreciate your studies of the awesome Mutt approaches. ✌🏼
In my experience If I want to have the whisper tracks that high I have to heavily EQ them so that the normal vocals mask them. Normally that means removing a lot of low end and midrange up to about 3/4kHz with broad bells and low shelves, and boosting the top end without bringing up a creepy harsh tone. In Bobby's defence, the only instruments apart from the vocals were drums so it was going to be very hard to use the whispers to add something to the sound while being "invisible".
Wow. Mutt Lang is a Genius. You did a terrific job on this demo too. The whisper vocals give it that extra large crowd join sound, or how ever you want to call it. Awesome. Thanks for this revealing info. "Hey guys, I'm gonna get rich from RUclips." Said no one ever. Oh, wait, Didn't Bobby Huff say that? I think he did. LOL
That's amazing. Thank you! A friend told me to record whispers on top of the vox "like Prince used to do". Following that "sound" advice (pun intended) we recorded literal tiny teeny whispers and it sounded like poo together! But that's more like it! Sure enough, Trent Reznor has used that same trick too!
It took me a while to actually figure out where Mutt was using this trick in the DL catalogue, but the answer was right in front of me the entire time. The most widespread use of the whisper vocal is on Love and Affection from the Hysteria album. It even sounds like he’s using a low-note whisper too.
Great video. If you've never seen the scene in the movie "Hysteria - The Def Leppard Story" where Mutt (played spectacularly by Anthony Michael Hall) is riding Joe Elliot to stack vocals on "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" you really need to - it'll blow your mind! Pure cinematic platinum! It's around 26 minutes in. \m/
Try putting the whisper vocal through a highpass filter to cut some of the lows out of it. You can use the filter to tune it a bit to better suit the tonality of your mix.
I was ten years old when I bought Hysteria. It was not just my first Def Leppard album, it was the first album I ever got. I was amazed at the sound of the backing vocals, and I really did just think that the guys backing the lead singer just sounded like this when harmonising, I had no other explanation. I guess I was only ten and knew nothing of effects and such. It was years later before I heard 'Thought I'd Died and Gone To Heaven' by Bryan Adams and I immediately thought how cool it was that members of Def Leppard had done backing vocals for Brian! :) I found that this wasn't the case many years later again (birth of the internet actually made such research a possibility) but I could never ever find out why these vocals sounded so alike and what trickery was at work. So imagine the satisfaction here in me tonight, some 35 years after first hearing Hysteria, at finally learning the secret to those amazing vocals thanks to a random RUclips recommendation finally coming my way and ending the mystery. Thank you so much for this video!
Grew up on Hysteria too and I had similar realizations listening to Shania Twain later in life. "Wow, why does this sound like Def Leppard??" Then I learned about Mutt Lange later. Probably the only producer I can identify instantly if I hear one of his tracks. "hmmm, I bet this was produced by Mutt Lange..." sure enough, usually correct.
Was my first album too! I was 13. I couldnt believe how good the guitar sounded. I thought the vocals were just how queen does it. Part of the reason i started playing guitar. Still learning god knows how many years later!
Mutt Lange is one of the music industry celebs I admire most. It's not just his simply crazy discography list but also his lifestyle, diligence and wisdom. And, of course, the fact that he was married to Shania Twain.
@@WearyWatcher way to take all of his accomplishments and immolate them by mentioning a mistake he made. I hope you don't have anything you've done wrong. Wouldn't want you to become invalidated.
I've done quite a few things with whispering, including taking the pitch down an octave, and/or overdubbing several tracks of it, etc. Adding effects to whispering is when it really gets fun. You can hear it on Riders on the Storm by The Doors.
I too have used this technique on vocals and this is just semantics really, but what I am looking to achieve and what I hear in the original Def Leppard vocals and in your vocal performance is what I call the arena rock effect. It makes it sound like it’s 1985 and you’re listening to a Live at Buddakan (or more appropriately an English speaking country) and the crowd is singing along, but there’s so many of them that their voices are a haze of white-pinkish noise added to the vocals.
The biggest trick to background vocals in Mutts production was Mutt singing. He would also do a trick where they would not decode some of the tracks which were recorded with Dolby. The unencoded Dolby tracks sound very bright and whispery.
Thanks Doc! You have answered some questions that I’ve had since Pyromania and Hysteria! Dude, this is just fantastic. Nice work, and great description.
Mutt Lange had the killer sounds going thanks for exposing/explaining how these were achieved! How much does this differ for the AC/DC work would you mind covering that in future videos?
I came across this technique in the most unlikely place: Billy Ocean’s When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going. It’s near the end during the call and answer section near the end of the song. For a second I thought I spotted Joe Elliot’s voice, but I’m guessing it’s actually Mutt Lange. He’s credited as one of the composers of the song.
Yes! But it was also clever that he seemed to be varying each take slightly on purpose I think to widen out the sound of all the layers once put together
Very creative and clever Bobby. The Dr. Theme and ending are very well thought out ideas. I enjoyed the video and you really sound like Joe Elliott on those tracks. Keep up the good work and best wishes to you in your RUclips journey!
@@BobbyHuff …. One of my all time favourite albums…Hysteria… was 13 years old… I think was my first CD from London Virgin Megastore or HMV I forget….pored over the notes … Charvel, Ibanez, Paiste learnt all the names…. The Mutt Lange nickname list is a killer … still have the disc in brand new condition. I didn’t live in UK so where I lived this was all exotic… first time had my hands on Melody Maker…you bring a whole new level to that.
@@neoaureus great comments!!! I’ve been to that very store and it was magical in a magical city! I bought Hysteria, The Cars Greatest Hits, and my first portable CD player all at the same time at a K Mart near the Nashville Airport on my way to catch a flight to my first tour ever. Awesome memories!!
And it turned out that Baby did indeed, walk that way.

Totally agreed Michael.
I loved Pyromania and really anticipated the next album. When it came out, I felt like Def Leppard was ruined.
What Mutt Lange did with Def Leppard tracks is nothing less than lconically biblical! Words can't even describe it!
Agreed Michael. Unmatched..
genius stuff.
@@amonchhetri1053 thanks Amon!
Yeh his treatment on Hysteria made it so unique and one of the most listenable albums during that late 80's period.
additional tip, I try to avoid articulating hard consonants in my whisper tracks, like K's, T's, P's. I just focus mostly on the vowel sounds, and I find that it makes it cleaner, and prevents mouthy saliva clicks from creeping in.
Great point Noah. I have a similar video about this coming up.
Makes a big difference man, that's a good point.
I normally use Spiff to take care of harsh consonants and mouth clicks when I mix whisper tracks.
But yes, if the vocalist can perform them cleanly for me, that's great.
Smart.
Riders On The Storm has the entire vocal doubled with a whisper.
That's awesome. I've heard that in so many of Def Leppard's tracks and never knew how they were getting that effect. Makes perfect sense now. It blends so well. It truly sounds like a crowd singing along with the chorus. Who knew? Thank you!
Thanks Jeff!!
This is awesome, totally trying this!!! Thanks man.
Do it Ben!!!!
Yes!!!
Uncle Ben!
Ok, i am so staying up all night :P
Don't do it. You'll get sued. He has a patent on that, lol (kidding)
Keep the Mutt Lange production tricks coming. Outstanding content!
Thanks Chris!
This makes me realize why a lot of small time metal bands, with great producers, can't quite pull off their vocals live.
The first "whisper vocal" I can remember hearing was "Riders on The Storm" by The Doors. It was quite mesmerizing to hear it in such an epic track.
Thanks for the great video, I appreciate how you broke down how to create this effect!😀
Awesome tip. I’ve tried similar “breathy” things to get that Def Lep BGV sound, but never quite the way you demo here. Totally gonna try it 😁
Thx David! Go for it man!!!
Actually it's the whitenoize effect and you do not need to whisper into new channels.. what u already have is enough.. mix down every 8 track with the same voicing into 2 tracks and use a vocoder which can turn your vocal signal into whitenoize (it sounds exactly like a whisper) back in the day I was using an old plugin for this OpCode Fusion VOCODE.. now Izotope vocal synth does the job.. after that use a slight panner too.. panman soundtoys is good for that..
Thank you, Bobby! Yesterday I've tried this technique and it actually works pretty well!
I've noticed in addition to me it sounds like the low octave vocal was tracked with the tape running at slightly higher speed. The impacting result comes when the tape is played back at normal speed the low harmony has slower slurred(for lack of a better term) harmonic effect.
Cool video
Mutt Lange had Phil Collen play single notes in a chord and layered them together instead of single chords in some sections. The clarity of the chord is insane.
John Mayer used this technique a lot on his debut album. Listen to “83” for example.
This was revelatory. I always wonder how they got the Def Leppard vocals to sound like that.
Thanks Dan!
Daniel Lanois used this technique on So for Peter Gabriel. You can hear clear as day on Mercy Street. Pierre Marchand used it as well.
Glad you are bringing this back. I was doing this on my tascam in the 80s. Didn't know it was a secret. Next thing, you will be slowing down the recording to half speed and recording vocals....

Thanks man! Mutt had some incredible approaches and techniques!
Very cool! Comes right at a time when I was wondering how I could get good chorus vocals from just me. This is the sound I was looking for.
That’s great Bryan! Do it!
I have always been obsessed with Mutts sound especially in how he did Def Leppard’s vocals. He gave them their signature sound. Thx for sharing.
Thanks man!! Agreed!!
Pete Willis gave Leppard their signature sound, but they cut him loose. They never recovered.
