I'm gonna be recording a hardcore band within the next 3 months but I've never done this before. Can anyone give me some tips, especially regarding the screaming vocals part.
There are 2 vocalists (one melody, one screamo), 2 guitarists (both using pretty heavy distortions and a few phaser type effects), a bassist and a drummer.

How would you record the screamo vocals? I know he prefers holding the mic while screaming so I was thinking of the good ol' SM58. But what kind of compression ratio would you use, and stuff like that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
