Def Leppard - Rock Of Ages - Joe Elliott - Isolated Vocals - Analysis - Tutorial - Secrets Revealed
“Rock Of Ages” by Def Leppard was another one of those legendary tunes and using Joe Elliott’s isolated vocal track, I’m going to unlock the mystery behind the massive production of this iconic song.
Which Def Leppard song is your all-time favorite? Let me know in the comments!
Using a giant mix of big guitars, big drums and bass and those powerful background vocals, producer Mutt Lange created that monstrous sound we all remember.
In this vocal analysis I’ll reveal some of the singing secrets that were used and I’ll show you how we can use effects to get that similar sound to the record.

@anca442 3 года назад

I had the chance to hear Joe warming up during DL's European tour in 2019. And I was amazed at what a strong voice he has, the man is a powerhouse. Even more amazing considering he keeps singing in that difficult style of his for over 40 years now, and they usually have extensive tours every year. All in one, I love his voice, it's one of the few voices unmistakable from the very first few words of any of their songs

There is no “mystery “. Take ALL the technicality out of it & Joe’s voice sounds like no one! Joe never even went to audition for DL as a singer. The band wanted him to be the frontman. Mutt pushed Joe on his voice because Joe wasn’t a singer. It’s Joe’s “tone”...not his technique...so you can dissect it all you want. HIS VOICE is gold.💛

All these problems solved your course and my voice is still growing. Thanks for all, Ken!

@WillRock07 Год назад

So the "chirping" thing in the ages vocal you mentioned - I'm not sure since I don't think they've stated it publicly, but I have a theory it's pitch shifted with a sampler. So Def Leppard in the Pyromania days used a sampler called the "Fairlight CMI". The drums on Pyromania are samples from the Fairlight CMI. Def Leppard and Mutt Lange used it as a means to alter the arrangments long after the recording process, and I think it might have been done for practical reasons to help out Rick Allen too. However the drums aren't live. They are programmed in. As a result, you can put their songs in your DAW and if you can find the right Tempo, the whole song will hit that tempo perfectly. As an example, Photograph is at the tempo 123.43. Put it in your DAW at the tempo of 123.43 and the click will be perfectly in time with the whole song. Now, you were able to record and store samples into the CMI, and you were also able to alter the pitch of samples in real time. Using this feature, they were able to pitch shift vocals. What I think is happening with the "ages" vocals is Joe is actually sung "Ages" as one single G note, but then Mutt pitch shifted it to the A using the Fairlight sampler. This is why it has that "autotune" feel, because that pitch shift is too fast and too clean to be realistic. It's more like an effect. IIRC, I'm pretty sure I read the Fairlight had the ability to show you if a sample was perfectly on pitch, and you could edit that after the fact. I think using Fairlight, they were able to alter Def Leppards vocals to sound pitch perfect, but unlike Autotune, which is done automatically, everything done in the Fairlight had to be done by hand. I'm pretty sure sometimes, you can hear the pitch shifted vocals in some of the harmonies, sometimes the vocal tones sound a little high or low to be "real". I'm 99% sure they used the Fairlight to mess around with the vocals and kept it under wraps because the rock purists would complain about it. In other words, what is happening is like autotune, but it's like the precursor to it. At least, that's what I believe they're doing.

Hi Ken, another great video, so spot on, you are talented at your work, I agree, because I like to listen to their music, but saw them live, sounded so much different, in a bad noisy way, was disappointed..... Keep up the great reviews you do, from down under, cheers mate.....

Mutt Lange was always notorious for punching in EVERYTHING. Take Hysteria for example. The clean guitar intro/verses, each arpeggiated chord was done separately. Phil would play the D G and Emin sections all as separate takes. That and many other tunes they recorded with him. Wouldn't surprise me if they still record that way on their own today.

Rock on! Thanks for listening! 😀

HYSTERIA WAS SO OVER PRODUCED PHIL HAS SAID THAT IT IS IMPOSIBLE TO PRODUCE LIVE

Hey Ken! DL is what i consider to be a great party band. They still put on an incredible show after all these years. Does Joe still hit the highs? No. Not even close. But any band that can live through their drummer losing an arm is phenomenal in my book! DL has so many hits i can't even count them all. Pour Some Sugar On Me is still a staple at every strip bar to this day! Like i said, great party band! Once again Ken amazing job on these isolated vocals videos. Definitely enjoying them! Keep 'em coming! Thank you.✌

I must admit these isolated vocals vids are changing the way I'm listening to great singers - Was listening to Gary Puckett's 'Woman Woman' earlier today and could almost hear Ken's comments in the background.!
