Hi all!
What effects chains do people use here for vocals.
This was a house track (if that makes any difference).
I de-essed first, then added reverb and then simply because the vocal was quiet in the mix I added a maximizer just to add a couple of dB of output gain to bring the vocal up to a nice level in the mix.
2 things though...what about eq and compression?
I would compress first before anything wouldn't I? I know you do in your mastering chain. Where in the chain should eq go and what should I listen for to adjust. This is a male vocal btw.
Also what would I be listening / aiming for with compression here?
Also, would you typically set the decay on the reverb to be in time with the track...say to last 1/2 or 1 bar?
Thanks!
