Reznik Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 which reverb settings would you advice me to use for hip hop vocals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needle ninja Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Rap/Hip - Hop has almost no reverb present. I wound go with a room - probably a bright room at less than -30 db So almost completely dry. Generally, you don't even hear the reverb in hip hop. If you can get it, listen to Run-DMC's "Can You Rock It Like This" on the King of Rock album to hear other ideas that I like for vocals....

Spiritual Carnage Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I dunno about hiphop but my favorite reverb for vocals is for sure this And it's free Lots of reverbs are good at creating realistic acoustic spaces which often sound very cold. It's harder to find a "warm" reverb which are usually the nicest for vocals imo but this one is pretty satisfying. Here's a good setting for that rev (at least for my voice): Size ~20%, Brite ~65%, Wide ~50%, Mix ~40%, Noise ~0, Grain ~10% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergroover Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Just read in the Sound On Sound magazine that alot of producers don't really use much reverb on vocals at all. So I guess it doesnt matter that much. Just give it a very light feel of a room, but don't over do it. If at all. Or maybe find a hiphop production forum.

For most vocals, go with the old addage: less is more. only gothic industrial is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
