How do you sing in a punk voice?
A punk voice should sound a lot like your regular singing voice, but amplified into a louder version of itself. When you’re done singing a punk song, your throat should feel raw, which is how you know you’re doing it right. Generally, punk vocals don’t move up and down much, but hang on a single note, or a few notes.
How do you EQ punk rock?
Start by using a high-pass filter to remove any unwanted low-end. You may also need to cut around 200 Hz to remove muddiness and room noise. For darker, slower hard rock tracks, make sure there’s plenty of low-mid range between 300 Hz – 1 kHz. For a more aggressive, in-your-face sound, try booting around 1 – 5 kHz.

I like to envision the space, and I also like to create a subjective scale for how “engineered” the vocal should sound.
What is the difference between pop-punk and grunge music?
Pop-Punk records usually want to sound a bit done up — it should sound like a natural voice — but a stellar capture of that natural voice. Whereas with a Grunge record, I’m really looking to do as little treatment as possible.
What makes a vocal sound good in Solo mode?
What’s important to note is that in solo the vocal will often sound overly midrangey or overly “woolly”, but once the bass and guitars are in, the vocal sounds just right. Solo mode hates you and tells you lies. The last consideration is how “clean” I want a vocal to sound. That lower midrange can be tricky.
What is the best frequency range for vocals?
This is usually going to be the focal point of my vocals. The midrange sort of divides into two categories: the “cutting” midrange, which is around 1-4kHz, and the heavy midrange, which is that 300Hz-1k zone. For more aggressive styles — Death Metal, Hardcore, etc.
