There is a (or yet another) discussion in Off Topics about "modern" sounding recordings. I could have posted this there, but it seems more appropriate here...

Some might not be aware that you can find a number of "Vocal Only" videos on YouTube. This can be helpful for those looking to "capture" a similar sound in their recordings.

Since the Ed Sheeran song "Perfect" has been mentioned in one of those threads, here is what the vocal sounds like:




And here is the mixed song:





If this is the style music you are wanting to do... in your current (or next) song mix, solo your vocal and bounce between listening to YOU and then ED.

Do you have similar processing?
There is likely more delay and more reverb and compression - and maybe a little chorus? - on his???

Perhaps someone who wants to make the argument that BIAB can provide something similar would want to capture the vocal and put a BIAB production around it (not to sound "just like the record" but to sound similar).. although the legality of posting that here is suspect. But you could do it for yourself and send it to anyone you wanted to convince...? (just an idea)
