Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

I got my first CAPI preamps. I got a pair of VP 26 and a pair 312 and I'm going to try them out recording drums. Curious how the Sonor kit will sound with different pres.

The kit has these mics:
K- Beta 52
Sn- SM 57
R1- 57
R2-57
Flr-421
OH L- 8040
OH R- 8040
Room- Warm 47

Should be fun!

Re: Using reverb to differentiate lead and backing vocals

Every session and vocalist is different but...generally I like a subtle plate reverb on the lead vocal and a large cathedral type reverb (often with delay too) on the harmony or backing vocals. I try to group backing vocals when there are more than one or two and buss those with some heavy compressi...
