Yo Bold:
Can't quite understand all the responses about reverb.
Most ALL vocals need reverb -- most all stars who record vocals use reverb. How much? Depends on what you're after or your voice quality or the room, etc.
Most all reverb is added when doing the mix.
However, most folks feed reverb to vocals to give the talent a sense of ambience while singing. [during actual recording]
POWER.
As far as other tracks if you overdub, well, you can choose how much reverb for your tracks by practice and listening and choosing and mixing.
Like, I find I don't need much, if any, reverb on drums; but, I use a drum box. Can't comment on live drums because I've not tried them.
CD background music is usually mixed and has reverb; thus, you don't need to add any more. However, I've remastered a few DRY tapes, done in a a professional house. The talent who gave me the tapes and heard the remake were stunned by the addition of a touch of reverb.
Enough said.
