Suck 'em and see!
That Motown technique is the exact opposite of the London technique used around the same time in the sixties.
As I mentioned above about the lowpass, the motown version put a high pass on the compressed channel.
If anyone has read Behind The Glass by Howard Massey (if not, seek it out) you'll know back then just by listening to a mix you could tell if it came from London, or east or west coast america. Different compression techniques, diferent EQ styles...the brittish boards had the 4 band EQ with 2 mid sweeps...
With the internet the world has become a village, we're all incorporating a bit of everything we hear from all over the globe
WTF was I waffling on about 3 years ago?



I just used it in my mix and my vocals sound so much better. I don't have much experience with being my own engineer lol, and I was wondering how to make my vocal sound a little more professional and like all my favourite bands (tall order, I know) and this has definitely brought me a leap closer to that..not bad for a home studio recording anyway. So thanks! You rawwk
