MGMT Vocals Reverb

Post by BroSlinger »

So, I was listening to some old MGMT, and I like their spacey, far-away reverb sound.

found this vid:


Badass! This guy is using the exact algo I use for all of my shit. I needed to add a slapback before the verb. Also needed to do an EQ tweak, raise the mix, and lower the tail length.

So, I turned this:

Into this:

I think it sounds better. It's also louder, so that always helps.

:( :( I wasn't happy with that track anymore. I recorded it lazily and suffered the consequences.

That said, you can listen to this to hear my newly found vocal recording ability. :thu:
