Depends on the era. Today's vocal sound isn't the benchmark, so, whatever the current trend is, it will surely pass. Compression came on the scene in the 60's, and continued from there. Is it needed? ..does it shrink sound? ..doesn't it harm dynamics? ..are Patsy Cline and Nat Cole recordings more enjoyable to listen too? ...lots of questions.
