Anyone else noticing excessive amounts of reverb on vocal tracks? Seems every christmas themed song on tv has saturated vox. From CMT to ABC
I could hardly understand what you said, it was so reverby.

Where is everybody, any way? You’d think it was a holiday.
Some of it is a sign of the times when the songs were recorded. Another reason is inexperienced engineers. Much of the sign of the times oververb came about because it was a new effect, especially when plates came around.
It’s ironic. Snow makes everything so quite and soft.
I know I always drenched stuff in heavy long verb, for years.
Too much Joe Meek. Not so much now.
Yeah but it sounds sooo purddy! It would be cool take a shower in that stuff verrrrrb
Or better yet get some verb for your car’s exhaust system!

True! Must be some influence of the cathedral kind of environment.
I wish I knew how to control reverb better. Think my favorite album that seems drenched in reverb is Iron Maiden’s “Somewhere in Time”. They pulled it off somehow giving it a nice, big, spacious feel. Of course, it helps if you can sing like Bruce Dickinson.
EQ pre reverb is the ticket. You can get away with a ton of reverb IF you EQ they send properly… otherwise you have build up of frequencies and create mud. Also many times a delay is a much more effective tool as it creates the feeling of space without the long tail.
I don’t care for reverb. I prefer echo.
Echo…
Gotta love a bit of reveb, but too much spols everything. It’s such a fine line.

Oops, too much ange?
What do you have against delay, flanders?
