In this vocal series video we discuss:
– Slapback delays
– Stereo delays
– Delay throws
*BONUS* We even talk about an extra technique to widen your vocals

Here is a good article on this topic from my good friend Tosho at Mixing Tips.
Adding Delay on Vocals: 4 Basic Types of Delays used on Vocals
Thanks for another great video. I’ve been watching the whole serie and was almost expecting that you would bring up using a limiter as the final piece in the chain. I did recently use one for the first time and I think the mix sounded more consistent. Maybe if I get this vocal rider(been watching some tutorials on it and it seems great) I will not need the limiter? What is your view on using a limiter on a single vocal?
Thanks

It’s not something that I do a lot since I do gain automation and parallel compression but using a limiter especially on a dense mix can be very useful. I love limiters on stacked back vocals though…A lot of pro mixing engineers use Limiters on vocals. Good question 🙂
Thanks for taking your time to answer my question. Your my favourite mix guru out there :).
Any time, my friend!
