FX use in Modern Rock records.

Rush909 · 18th September 2005, 02:53 AM

Hey Michael... I've just started mixing/producing rock/pop records having had a good run in dance/electronic music but felt I needed to do something else... My head was very much into tons of FX specially on vocals, but mixing for pop and rock I find getting FX to sound "right" and not too "trippy" a bit of a learning curve...

do you find yourself going to certain verbs/delays on vocals?.....what about guitars?

take coldplay's yellow for example... the vocals sound affected, but yet still dry... any advice on getting good fx on pop/rock records?

thanks again for taking the time to entertain our questions...

rush.

i use a simple delayed plate type reverb and an analog delay set to 1/8 or 1/4 note. I keep it simple.
