440 Forums _ Effects and Treatments _ Sound Like "the Killers"

Posted by: sonickid23 Sun 14 Jan 2007, 19:57

Hey eveyrone,
I'm recording a new song and for the vox I wanted to have a very filtered/synthesized vocal similar to that The Killers use (ie: "Somebody Told Me" and "Mr. Brightside"). I'm a newb so I have no clue really how to achieve this. I tried applying a low cut filter and that sorta sounded like it, but something is missing. Any ideas?
Thanks

It sound a bit like a phone call but not quite, I'd have a little go with an EQ too. Maybe it's not the right filter type…

I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the advice
