Watched the video and I'm trying out that stereo slapback delay now on my latest song, “Life ain’t a Cookie Jar”, which currently just has reverb on the vocal, maybe I'll post a new mix.
Thanks!
EDIT: Unable to edit my song description in the showcase, it's been up there too long.
To my ears, which are not the best ears, I'm still learning this stuff, adding the stereo slapback delay and backing off on the reverb is an improvement. I updated the mix on reverbnation but left the one on soundcloud with the original (just reverb) mix if anyone wants to compare them.
Dave,
There is a difference. To my ears, the vocals on Reverbnation sound a little more intimate and a little clearer.
I enjoyed the opportunity to compare. Thanks.
Regards,
Noel
Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment, Noel, I appreciate the extra set of ears!
I found to get the best results I needed to add EQ in the chain after the delay module to bring down some harsh frequencies that I was not hearing without the delay. I think they were always there, the delay just brought them more to the front.
Anyway, lots of promise and I’m going to experiment more next week with this.
Edit: I've uploaded the new mix to soundcloud now also, I don't think anyone else is interested in listening. Might as well have the best one up there too.
