Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help me.
I am trying to re-create that 1950's style crooner vocal sound. Like Dean Martin's Volare etc etc
I'm using my GAP R1 Active MK3 ribbon mic and have got the sound realistic but I'm having trouble with the reverb , I have Waves R-Verb and the stock Cubase reverbs but just can't seem to get it. I've sent it to a delay first with 120ms slap on it then to the reverb but I don't think that's it. I've tried pre-delaying the reverb ( Hall ) but that doesn't seem to do it. The reverb is like a cushion or a halo on these records and there's loads on but it never detracts from the intelligibility or the emotion of the song !!
I know everyone is going to say get a great singer but the guy I'm recording can really sing in that style and for a cabaret artist is pretty damned good , that's why I want to get this in the ball park.
Can anyone point me in the right direction ??
