DELETE THIS RIGHT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 1983, The Edge of U2 collaborated with Jah Wobble of Public Image Ltd, Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay of Can, New York disco producer François Kevorkian, and composer Arthur Russell on the "Snake Charmer" LP. The title track would become a regular staple of influential New York City nightclub, the Paradise Garage.

The album was engineered by legendary dub reggae studio engineer Paul "Groucho" Smykle and future The Smiths and Blur producer Stephen Street. It also featured additional musical contributions from jazz vocalist Marcella Allen, frequent Jah Wobble collaborators Animal, Ben Mandelson, Ollie Marland and Neville Murray, as well as original Public Image Ltd drummer, Jim Walker.

>The layered vocals on "When You Sleep" were born out of frustration with trying to get the right take. Shields commented that "The vocals sound like that because it became boring and too destructive trying to get the right vocal. So I decided to put all the vocals in. (It had been sung 12 or 13 times)."[21] He explained:
>On 'When You Sleep' it sounds like me and Bilinda singing together, but it's just me – me slowed down and me speeded up at the same time. Some songs we sang over and over until we got bored – usually between 12 and 18 times. I started sorting through the tapes and it did my head in, so I just played them all together and it was really good – like one, vaguely distinct voice.[43]
Cool

Best track on this album
Can't get enough of it

Fun fact: if your music relies on studio trickery and cannot be replicated onstage, it's bad music.

it isn't that hard to replicate loveless in a live setting. you just need to bring a few delay pedals, some vacuums, an elephant and a used escalator

>>72329685

I think that's a bit immature. Sure, there's merit in being able to perform the album's music proper but at the same time the studio is a chance to get it pitch perfect. You can do as many takes as you want and tweak things to get them just right. Far be it from any of us to insist that musicians don't take that chance to immortalize the core representation of their music and get that album done exactly the way they envision it. Live performances are transient but the album is forever.

Yes. You unironically thought rymcore was good?

his voice is actually more annoying than avey or panda's

Fun fact: Many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever, which tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art.

>Tony Visconti rigged up a system, a creative misuse of gating that may be termed "multi-latch gating",[18] of three microphones to capture the vocal, with one microphone nine inches from Bowie, one 20 feet away and one 50 feet away. As the music built, Bowie was forced to sing at increased volumes to overcome the gating effect, leading to an increasingly unhinged vocal performance as the song progresses[19] Each microphone is muted as the next one is triggered. "Bowie's performance thus grows in intensity precisely as ever more ambience infuses his delivery until, by the final verse, he has to shout just to be heard....The more Bowie shouts just to be heard, in fact, the further back in the mix Visconti's multi-latch system pushes his vocal tracks, creating a stark metaphor for the situation of Bowie's doomed lovers".[20]

does anyone else know of some cool vocal production stories? my vocals sound like shit.

>>72330087
How many instruments do you play?

>>72330099

The vocals on Pixies' Something Against You were filtered through a guitar amp to pretty neat effect.

You gotta double track those bad boys. Pan one track to the left and the other to the right. It helps immensely.

>Ween's Chocolate and Cheese album, released in 1994, is "dedicated in loving memory to John Candy (1950–1994)". At the time Gene Ween remarked, "...there was so much going on about Kurt Cobain, and nobody mentioned John Candy at all. I have a special little spot in my heart for him."

The "holy shit!" you hear at the very end of Oh Comely is one of Jeff's bandmates. Jeff was supposed to be doing a sound check on the mics and guitars and instead performed the whole song in a single take.

>>72331667
It's up to you, but I've always done two separate vocal takes. You don't even need to have both takes be 100% identical. Sometimes it's kind of cool to hear minor differences co-existing.

More from MBV:

>While recording the album over a period of two weeks, the band got by on about two hours sleep a night. Bilinda Butcher described the effect of this: "Often, when we do the vocals, it's 7:30 in the morning: I've usually fallen asleep and have to be woken up to sing. Maybe that's why it's languorous. I'm usually trying to remember what I've been dreaming about when I'm singing."

'"When we started Magnetic Fields we purposely had one lesbian, one gay guy, one straight woman, and one straight man. The audience could identify with whomever they wanted. I hang out with more gay women now, but I guess I'm more of a fag hag than a lezzie hag."
