I have recently found that I have been adding far too many plug-ins to my recordings. One is inclined to get the impression by reading other posts that we must have an eq, a compressor, a reverb, a tune, a stereo, or whatever into the mix. This I have been doing without having the slightest clue as to why? and simply listening to hear what has happened (experimenting I suppose) The result has been a jumbled mess
I normally have four vocal tracks on a recording ( a doubled lead vocal, and a high and low harmony) I now take these tracks to an effects track where I have Reatune, Rea eq (set to wide vocal) and a reverb ( still looking for a reverb that I really like though ... want just a little to lift the vocals)
On the master track I add Rea eq with a high pass filter and a Loudmax limiter, and sometimes a stereo widener
The result is much closer to what I am searching for, but not quite there yet.
Anybody got any suggestions or comments that would help?
