JoeMeek VC6Q Question

[chessparov]

FWIW, I like to use between 3 and 5 ms for "attack" and a 1/2 second for "release"
on vocals. Usually dialing the "compression" knob to between 6 and 7.
Also using between 2:1 (ballads) and 3:1 (uptempo songs) for ratio. (<6db reduction)

P.S. I seem to get better results by cutting EQ before it hits the compressor,
and then doing any EQ additions after compression as that makes the
compressor work less.

yeah, lately I've been more keen on cutting the meequalizer out of the track altogether..... now I only use it for an effect, like for when I want a really bad vocal distortion sound.... get our singer to cup a beta 58, yell, and boost 1.6k by about 8 db and cut everything else by that much.

Hey Alan, I'm a tech writer, I'll update all your manuals for a free C1!

I don't make the Meek stuff, so you have to work that deal with England. The manuals are a bit weak, but everytime I mention that, I get the same reply...It's British! So I stopped asking
