Mixing Vocals n Using Reverbs
Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2007 5:54 pm
Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me their opinion on using the LinMB compressor for pop vocals in mixdown. It seems this is the only tool that gets me close to the vocal sound im going for, but my ears play tricks on me and I'm having trouble finding the best settings. I use a couple other compressors to level and gently compress the tracks first, but the LinMB seems to be the best thing for shaping the timbre and making them sizzle. I just have trouble finding the best settings for the attacks and releases of the bands, etc. Any suggestions?
Also, is using predelay in reverb units something that should always be done, or is it more of a stylistic preference?
Thanks
Adam
