I wanted to talk about something that’s really important to me: vocal reverb.<\/strong><\/p>\n I’ve been using vocal reverbs for years, but lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how they can make your vocals sound too far away from the instruments in your mix.<\/p>\n And it’s true! When mixing vocals, you usually want to keep them up front and center. But when you use a reverb on your vocals, it can make the vocals feel pushed back into a mix and sound distant\u2014and that’s not what we want!<\/strong><\/p>\n Delays are an incredibly powerful tool for creating depth and space in your mix<\/strong>: they can even add richness and warmth to a vocal performance if used correctly!<\/p>\n But delay plugins are also great for getting vocals out front and keeping them there<\/strong>\u2014which means that if we use delays instead of reverbs on our vocals, we’ll have an easier time making sure they stay up front while still sounding rich and full.<\/p>\n In the video below, I show you how powerful using delays can be to keep a vocalist front and center. You will also learn all my secrets for dialing in vocal delay!<\/p>\nSo instead of using a reverb, let’s try using a delay instead.<\/h2>\n
