Oct 10, 2006 02:28 am My experience with recoridng screaming (my own) is not so much about mics and mic placement, any good vocal mic u generally is fine to me. but the real hard part is the reverb. coz reverb relaly effects the feel of the scream, its really overblown as opposed to normal sung vocals. Too much reverb and the second i gets buried it gets weak and useless, and too little and hes right in your face. Also, give a relaly short kind of small room reverb can make it sound really dirty adn gritty, while a bigger reverb can give another feel altogether, youllhave to find out what your band wants.

Oct 10, 2006 09:25 am get a pop filter too...otherwise you're mic will get wet.
Oct 10, 2006 06:13 pm LIMITER, or a compreser/limiter. That is the only way to truly control a screamer. Unless of course you dont mind really quiet parts, then you can set your max input to not exceed -3dB when he screams.
