Understanding live engineer effects 27 what's the problem? 1. Dynamics vocals in music define the melody and the message in a song. In professional studio recordings, vocals are always clearly heard in the mix. In live situations, especially with full bands, the vocals often get lost. The human voic...
Understanding live engineer effects 28 the best we can do to optimize clarity and intelligibility while reducing muddiness is to intelligently limit low frequencies without making them sound thin. A vocal running into a pa without eq usually sounds quite dull. A sound engineer will often add high en...
Understanding live engineer effects 29 current ways of solving the problems 1. Dynamics fixing the problem of a vocal bouncing in and out of a mix is usually done with something called compression.
