Miami, your voice is crazy expressive when singing. Now we need an extreme vocal recording tutorial, where you deliver toilet bowl gutturals and crazy tunnel throat noises. Through Benson Vocal Strip obviously.
Miami, love your tutorials bro! They are funny, appealing, they keep your attention, your content is appropriate and needed, and you explain things in a very easy to understand way. Keep up the great work!!
Yo miami boi is on firee . Man I loved joey and JST before but you make me love this company so much more . I love the new content this year really fire !!!
+1 for an aggressive vocals video. Pretty much what I know is to use a 7b with the vocalist almost right up on the mic with Rvox and a little room reverb. That way I can hear some of the softer words that may not come through as much, but not worth retracking (because we know how naturally dynamic aggressive screamed vocal DIs can be), and to get an idea of what it'll sound like when I compress it later. The room verb is just a little ambience to help give the vocalist more confidence and to feel the music more. They often want me to throw some distortion on their vocals, but I encourage them to focus on getting that distortion from their performance and technique before I add any in the mixing process.
@@joeymusic oh I suck at so many things so it's hard to choose. I think in general the interwebs is lacking good info on metal drum reverb use. With types and specific setttings with examples. Snare drums for sure, but also other things.
Appreciate that, Max! Was just on the phone with Jeff the other day. Make sure to check out my nevermore cover of the river dragon has come with some friends! It’s on this channel -Miami
@@joeymusic i also had to learn how to produce video contents alone, i used to work as podecaste presenter in a local TV here after cience of comunication colege and now i m by my own, got own business, i m freelancer musician, guitar teacher martial arts instructor and fitness coach... So thats why i v been watching your channel
Everything else you mentioned was spot on with the tips but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Kaotica Eyeball, Not sure if you're being paid to trash it but countless people have used it and it does a great job for what it does, I've been using it for a while and definitely does a great job. I am not a full on singer but that is besides the point. My space is treated and I have captured vocals without it, and they come out nice, and I've used other types of pop filters etc and this by far did the best job along with whatever I did to treat vocals, but it definitely is a DO, but to each their own. And also it helps with cutting down noise from outside too. So there is a purpose for it.
Being paid to trash it? I have integrity. I’m telling MY truth as a vocalist/singing coach/ and producer for over a decade. I said that it holds its purpose in the world of voiceover work and podcasting. You are free to disagree with me, but please, don’t ever go to someone’s channel accusing them of being disingenuous. My words are my own, no one can PAY me to say anything -Miami
@@joeymusic your truth isn't everybody else truth, you discredited the piece of gear because of your own experience, if that's how you want to word it, and I said something about it. you are involved with the company and doing reviews, so be that as it may, if it was your own experience fine, but that's not always the case when people get online in collaboration with other companies. your attitude about it was a don't and just because it's a don't for you, doesn't mean it's a don't for others. i've seen hundreds of reviews about gear and clothes and shoes and i get the product and the "experience" that person had, the bad experience never showed up for me. so as i said, you just came off as trashing the product.
I have always enjoyed watching your videos Miami. I also would love a gutteral/death growl version of this video. And bro! I didn't you could sing like that. Great job! And great job on the video as always. 🔥 transition game
Another awesome video on something right when I needed it. Hopefully most of these things at least generally apply to Black Metal vocals too! Guess I'll find out. Lol.
It takes too much natural room reverb out of the vocal, and not in the way being in a treated room does. It makes things sound too dead... but works wonders for voiceover! -Miami
Lol, believe it or not I rap 10x more than I sing. I’ve used it. It just takes too much room out of the vocal. I’ve found use for it on voiceover and podcast stuff tho! -Miami
@@zacari99 It's going to sound a lot better. People always get stuck on wanting this crispy vocal, but a lot of sound absorption or proofing just kills the dynamics. It took me a while to learn that. I don't use anything over my mics and I record and a decently treated control room.
@@JamarConley yeah you guys were right i’ve been recording without it all today and the vocals sound clearer without the eyeball which is the opposite of what i expected ahah
The thumbnail made me click on , Im interested in your opinion on using the " cheap " karaoke toy mics for practice purposes since you are able to self monitor as well for those who may have volume restrictions ? Great vid and thank you .
Your videos are amazing-- and omg I'm a singer who lacks proper technique sometimes, maybe I should use an Sm57 as opposed to my Avantone Cv12 for a little less clarity and detail
@@joeymusic I totally believe that, it will be very helpful. Luckily, I don't have any fantastic, expensive mics. Maybe a Shure SM57 could work too? Or maybe I'll get the one you mentioned in the video. I forgot now what it was, but it's easy to go back and rewatch the video.
Great video! Could you tell me where you got that diffuser on the wall behind you from? Or if you could share where you got the plans if you made it yourself. Thanks!
@@joeymusic Oh cool! Did you make yours out of styrofoam or wood? Also did you use a specific online calculator to determine the dimensions, depths, etc.?
I would love to hear Miami do a pop punk version of Fireflies by OwlCity. I think it would be 🔥 and really unexpected. I think it would cross over surprisingly well 🤘😈🤘
It's awkward to watch one private company (JST) disparage another private company's (Kaotica) products. A fully treated room with Genelecs and outboard gear is aspirational; the majority of creatives have to work with what they can afford. Let's focus on the results.
I AM focused on the results. The results for singing are not very good. It’s good for podcasting and voiceover work (which I mentioned). The day I get up here and start lying is the day I stop making videos. -Miami
I love these videos, however calling a $700 mic, "budget-friendly", makes me die a little on the inside. House, wife, kids AND trying to have decent gear... ROUGH.
Joey did made a good choice hiring Miami :)
🥲 appreciate that so much
-Miami
He is the only reason I subscribed and watch
“Sub consciously” Beautiful
😀
I would love another one of these focusing on more extreme vocals, screaming, growling, gutturals and stuff like that.
I’ll make it happen!

I second this!!!!
+1 and please make a section for the compressor atk/release during tracking.

Because they are 3 of the greatest guitarists in the world!

Thanks Zainul!

Another awesome video on something right when I needed it. Hopefully most of these things at least generally apply to Black Metal vocals too! Guess I'll find out. Lol.
They pretty much do except the mic placement.
-Miami
Would you use the same distance for something like an sm7b?
Nope! I tend to be a lot closer to dynamic mics to push them properly!
-Miami
Transition game-level will soon be over 9000 if you keep leveling up! :D
Always so hard trying outdo the previous one lmao

Yo Miami - quality content as always. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on why not to use isolation tools like the kaotic eyball?
It takes too much natural room reverb out of the vocal, and not in the way being in a treated room does. It makes things sound too dead... but works wonders for voiceover!
-Miami
@@joeymusic What about a mic isolation shield? for a room with I lot of reverb
How does one plugin headphones to live monitor? I have a focusrite 2i2 and Akgk240. Also, I use Reaper as my daw
How much would you charge for a vocal feature, outta curiosity? :)
Hit me up on Facebook!

Where can we listen to your songs Miami? You sound great man!
My last band release was the words we use “Entitlement” ep... BUT I’m coming out with a few singles soon in the world of metal 😀

Thanks for the tips. Now I can go do bad vocal takes and know that they sound bad because of me and not because i'm uninitiated.
Lmao I’m sure the takes will sound just fine
-Miami
You're tripping man ahah the Kaotica sounds great esepcially for rap
Lol, believe it or not I rap 10x more than I sing. I’ve used it. It just takes too much room out of the vocal. I’ve found use for it on voiceover and podcast stuff tho!
-Miami
@@joeymusic Maybe I'll try taking it off since I record in a booth anyways!
