vocal? vst to get Kurt Cobain screaming

[KurtCocain]

HI guys, new to vst and mixing I am a beginner guita player so I try to record few things I can play by nirvana And do some vocals (cant really sing but).. I can scream out like Cobain did, so I was wondering if theres aplugin that enchances vocals to sound something like CObain Dunno, just guessing -- who knows whats out there. Maybe a vocal distortion Cuz ehn I sing I cant really ascream it out, but more like scream-whisper it out.

sampling (cobain, makes it sound like cobain...)

[Jaeson Merrill]

theres no way to make it sound like cobain, unless you train your voice to scream like him, and even then, its gonna sound like :you, trying to sound like cobain. I love his vocals, i think many times they were pretty dry, sometimes with a hint of natural room reverb (the vocals on in utero are some of the best vocal recordings ive ever heard)
maybe a bit of early reflections, like echos, on some songs, maybe even a tiny bit of chorusing.

sampling ?? Could you explain, not experinced with mixing or that stuff -- only know how to put VST plugins in kristal/audacity and to do panning, reverb, delay

U mean to extract his voice somehow and put it on my track ? -- do i really want that? I am doing a cover so its like lying I am singing it

[MrM]

I've heard a pupil of mine doing his voice; that was with no fx at all; just have the attitude and sing like him.

You dont need alot of effects or anything just slide slowly in and out of your notes sometimes and freakin scream man. Try a little layering on some parts. If you're doing a cover just scream like you. Its your interpretation of the song right? It'll almost certainly be cooler that way. Unless you are in a cover band, in that case please disregard this post Good luck.

Cobain was an awesome & raw vocalist...!
But you do wanna sound like yourself right?
You're just talking production eh?
Maybe not... well, you can try but he was one of a kind!
Good luck!

yeah, Nirvana is not a band i think of as using a lot of effects. that said, if you're new to audio production in general, trying to make "good sounding" vocal mixes can be very challenging.
if you're not already using one, i suggest putting a compressor/limiter at the head of the vocal effects chain. a good one for this purpose might be
Digital Fish Phones Dominion, which has some nice saturation built in
after the compressor, i would drop in a really subtle reverb. how subtle? i mean "you can't really hear it in the full mix" subtle, like 5-10% wet mix max.
let us know how it goes

if you can just scream-whisper forget it. haha what good is that?

Look who the cat dragged in..

[chagzuki]

For that really aggressive sound you want double tracking, i.e. to overlay two versions/takes (or more) of the same vocal part. As far as I remember (not a fan) Nirvana used that very often.

raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[jsd]

compression is critical for a good in your face vocal. (dominion is good - i personally use blockfish from digital fish phones on just about everything).

you'll probably want to roll off the low end a bit too.

a tiny hint of amp simulation/distortion can do good things too, but resist the urge to overdo it.

Put your shit through TbT's Greasetube.

yup overdrive and dual tracked vocals
