Mix Note 098 / Vocals & space New
Throw one word, not the whole sentence
A constant delay crowds a quick vocal.
The move
Automate the send on a chosen word and let the delay return decay naturally.
Do this- Choose one word for the delay throw.
- Automate its send into the delay.
- Let the return decay into the gap.
Listen for this.
Listen through the next phrase to ensure the echo does not compete.
Know when to back off.
Muting the return immediately can cut the throw you intended to hear.
Match loudness when you compare. If the original serves the song better, undo the change.
