A lot of vocalists love performing with compression. They like the immediacy and the excitement that brings to the track as they monitor. But I wanted to flag something up, which is this.
An inexperienced vocalist may be prone to giving you a dynamically uneven performance if they’re hearing a lot of compression in their ear. Look, you gotta weigh the pros and the cons. If the result is an inspired performance, you weigh the price of omission.
But it’s something to keep your eye on. We’ll be starting a vocal kitchen workshop this summer. And if you think you or someone wants a seat, share this post.
