This month I'll extend the discussion of vocal manipulation into the areas of equalisation and ambience control. Last month, we looked at various options for fine‑tuning a vocal recording, covering basic pitch correction, vocoding techniques for applying varying levels of disguise to the natural imperfections of the human voice, and dynamics control without using compressors.
Your toolkit for producing polished, contemporary‑sounding vocals should include appropriate EQ techniques and subtle ambience processing.
