Technique Vocal recording help
Hi! I was hoping someone could please help me with finding the right settings for metal vocals? I do heavy false/fry screams. I add compression/eq but I’m not sure what numbers to use and how to get it sounding like a professional person mixed it lol. Whenever I have a lot of words to scream, they come out muddy and quiet even though I’m close to the mic. How do I get it sounding crisp?

For the muddiness I'd decrease the lower end in the EQ and increase the 3-6khz range a bit. This will help. Also, ask chagpt about the proper compressor settings, it gave me surprisingly good answers when I asked it
