Mixing massive AMARANTHE vocal stacks w/ Jacob Hansen

These vocals are yuge!

Jacob Hansen shows how to mix powerful female metal vocals in this clip from Nail The Mix, using the raw multi-tracks for “365” by Amaranthe.

MIXING MASSIVE AMARANTHE VOCAL STACKS w/ Jacob Hansen

Jacob Hansen shows how to mix powerful female metal vocals in this clip from Nail The Mix, using the raw multi-tracks for “365” by Amaranthe.

This song has a LOT of vocals: dozens of tracks from their female vocalist Elize Ryd and male vocalists Henrik Englund Wilhelmsson and Nils Molin, so it’s all about making precise moves to manage this massive session.

Jacob Hansen uses some basic EQ, compression, Mod Delay III, a Lexicon Reverb plugin and some smart routing to make it all come together into huge, powerful, in your face metal vocals.
