FIVE MISTAKES IN A VOCAL CHAIN
Each one is easy to make and takes a minute to undo.
B Y NO. 02 OF 03
Pitch correction after compression. Correct first, so the compressor sees a stable signal and the correction sees a natural one.
De-essing with a static EQ. A fixed dip at seven kilohertz dulls every syllable to fix a few; a de-esser moves only when the esses do.
Reverb on the insert. Send it, return it, filter the return. The vocal stays dry and the room sits behind it.
