Aug 23, 2007 11:22 am Yes.
I do both, depending on how I feel. That's the beauty of plug-ins.
Aug 23, 2007 11:23 am If you add processing as you record, you're stuck with it forever. You can change your mind - and you will - as often as you want if you add plugins in mixdown.
Aug 23, 2007 11:26 am I always track the vocals dry but send a wet mix to the singers headphones. Then I'll tweak the track a bit afterwards.
Aug 23, 2007 11:56 am I concur, def after. I don't even give them a wet mix . . .
ha, that'll teach 'em to be finicky!
=)
I know a guy that was tracking (not with me) and the engineer only put bass guitar in his cans. He thinks, "how odd" and nails it anyway. What a trooper!
Aug 23, 2007 12:01 pm Heh, don't get me started on "monitor sissies".. that's a thread unto itself.
Aug 23, 2007 12:40 pm yeah, i say record dry (no effects) and then add effects once it's been recorded as you can make changes and tweak as you see fit.
monitor sissies. I love it.
Aug 23, 2007 09:59 pm I record with some outboard compression personally but definitely nothing more.
Aug 24, 2007 01:19 am Depends on if the vocalist can 'work' the effect. I've got one that can 'work' verb real well. I'll set the verb on the playback side fed to him. He still tracks dry so I can insert compression, de-ess, some vox treatement pre verb for the mix if I like.
