How to Process a Hardstyle Screech With a Formant Shifter

Try this technique to make your screeches more spicy. It's all based around the formant shifter.

My notes from this Short

01

Start with a formant shifter on the screech

This whole technique is based around making a screech and then adding a few more effects, and it's all based around the formant shifter. I use a formant shifter on my screech first.

02

Get the power back into the screech

Then you need to make sure you get power back into your screech. I do this by adding more distortion with a wave shaper, a vocal doubler to give some unison and width, and then boosting one prominent frequency.

Then I remove some bass, add some highs, add a compressor to get it back to normal volume and add an OTT.
