Subject:Vocals Track & Mastering Posted by: Love Buzz Date:8/24/2006 11:19:14 AM Hello all. I recorded some vocals and I had the subject stand about six inches back (a recommendation I heard on-line). The recording was flawless (he sang it perfect), but he sounds really distant. I used some compression (Wave Hammer) and Wave Doubler, but he still sounds 'distant' a little. Any pointers?
