Hi Michael
Many thanks for responding.
Specifically, what reverbs did you use for lead and backing vocals?
Did you find blends of reverbs were needed?
Were the vox or bvox verbs typically the biggest (longest) used on the production (I guess the snare might be a contender for this in some cases) and did you find that you added some of this long verb to most other components of the mix to create a cohesive sound?
Any other information about the vocal production would be appreciated such as use of delays, typically EQ treatment (esp. on bvox) and typical level of compression. Also, how much use did you have for exciters.
What would have been done at the mastering stages (when these albums were ported to CD) in terms of enhancement (e.g. widening?). Were you happy with CD releases of albums that were originally released to vinyl (in those days) or did you find they suffered from the record companies grabbing any old nth generation master and transferring it as quickly as possible?
I hope there's not too much here, please just answer what you have time for, the verb stuff is my primary interest though overall production techniques used back then is fascinating to me.
Many thanks
