From Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins to Foo Fighters, Green Day and his own band Garbage, Butch Vig has, without a doubt, contributed his signature sound to some of the most legendary albums of the modern rock era.
It is a piece of software audio processor made in collaboration with mister Butch Vig, one of today’s leading rock producers. Recently, Waves Audio has presented a plug-in called Butch Vig Vocals.
So feel free to check out an excellent piece of plug-in that covers all you need to get your vocals to shine in the track. Because of this, there is an entire world of vocal processing effects as well as techniques for vocal processing. In most cases, they should be dominant in the entire mix, but at the same time, they should not overpower other elements.
I told Kurt I’d like to dbl track his vocals throughout the entire song, at first he said no, thought it sounded “fake”…but I reminded him that John Lennon dbl tracked most of his vocals, and he acquiesced.Vocals have to be one of the hardest types of audio material for sound processing. Kurt recorded his guitar solo in two takes, as well as three takes of vocals. The bass is dbl tracked, high and low octaves, and we dbl tracked the guitars. The track has a psychedelic vibe to it, it really shimmers, and a lot of that is because I had both Kurt and Krist used the Small Clone pedal for all the overdubs.
This was one of the few new songs Nirvana recorded onto a rehearsal cassette tape the group sent to me before I flew to LA, so I knew they had written something special.

The Nirvana producer said that Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic used double-tracked bass and guitar in ‘Come As You Are.’ Therefore, Vig wanted to double-track Cobain’s vocals to strengthen the song’s psychedelic vibe, however, Cobain denied his request in the beginning since he tought it could sound fake. Apparently, at that moment, he understood that Nirvana was working on an album that would become legendary. He stated that he had listened to ‘Come As You Are’ before joining the rest of the band in the studio. When the iconic song ‘Come As You Are’ started playing, Butch shared an interesting story about the recording of the song.
