I mean, I'm just a nice guy anyhow and I help people regardless of whether I can benefit. Maybe that has built me a little karma?
Anyhow, thanks for the tip on the compression Sig! So, you think I should really go with 0 GR?
Also, the 15ms and 17ms deltas, is that on the chorus FX? I was considering doing that 'naturally' by tripling the take, putting the original up the gut and the other 2 off to the sides 40 to 60%, then nudging 2 forward and 1 back. I was thinking about that Snoop Dog song...that is what I thought might be going on there.
I've started threads about this before, but I sometimes feel intimidated and 'unworthy'. I am trying to shed that. But, you know, I have a small room/studio with mostly mid-range gear...some higher-end, some lower-end. Basically, it is a good little studio and I can get a great sound...it just isn't a 'traditional' studio with a ton of high-dollar stuff, etc, etc. i just always feel like people are going to think I'm a big phoney and point at my racks and laugh 
Anyhow...wish me luck...this could be one of those career boosters! |
the 15/17full left/right is on the lead but just a touch and "fixed delay" it just widens..do it till ya barely hear it..because you don't want to hollow out the vocal
i'd track with no reduction..
1. let the vocalist determine the dynamic and not get wonked by trying to fight your compression
2. wait till the track is cut then compress doing the ride in ou thing..see my tips section for more detail
more importanly never sweat it and have fun..a client who just cut vox emailed me how much he hated tracking vox in the studio but what a great time he had when we did..just be pumped and enjoy it..i can nevere stress too much that the vibe in the room is a giant factor in the outcome, both real and percieved, in the final product
definetly ask her to bring in some ref CD's of the vocal sounds she likes [in the genere and style of the song she is doing]
good luck!
