Using Reverb On Rap Vocals?????

[hunkE]

I've been looking into the topic a bit lately b/c I use more than a little reverb. Whether I'm mixing different acapellas in a remix (to make them sound the same) or original tracks I use a liberal amount.

What I find is that vocals (and often the snare/clap) sit far above the rest of the track. But with my style of beats I like them to sit just above everything else, almost in it but not quite. I'm sure a lot of people would read this and be critical but listen to some of my tracks and let me know what you think.

I use some reverb but definately turn down the mix on it. You want just enough so that the sound is more full but you dont wanna sound like you are rapping in a cave.
