Recording Revolution write: Ask any of the all time great recording engineers what their favorite vocal chain is in the studio and you’ll likely get a list of three things: a microphone, a preamp, and a compressor. Recording vocals through compression is a wonderful thing that I highly recommend if you have it available to […]
