I’ve had some really awesome, thoughtful responses on this forum around bass & reverb. Next up – vocal delay 😎
It feels like every mix video I watch of the “pros” uses vocal delays in some way, shape, or form. But I can’t seem to find a spot for it in my mixes that doesn’t feel like it’s pulling the vocal too far down into the mix, and…
Thanks, Paul & Dana.
I’ll start by saying – WOW – what amazingly insightful responses!
The micing tips will certainly come in handy in the future.

Ironically, I…

Wondering if you try to get a group room sound using reverb in those situations or keep it dry?
I’m struggling…
