Question

Tracking vocals with reverb

I'm sure this has been asked, I just can't find it. I have never done it or been asked to give a little reverb in the monitor headphones with some reverb, How do you setup to apply some reverb to headphone monitors when tracking vocals?  I know it will only record a dry track and thats exactly what I want. Effects are added in mix.....

 

Thanks

The basic answer is in this thread: Thread about tracking vocals with a delay. The only thing missing is what you have to do to hear the effect, and that is to use the 'I' button (next to R) in the track controls. This lets you feed the track output back to your monitoring whilst you are recording it. The other things to note are that you don't want the level up too far (headphones are best) because you'll end up with digital feedback, which will be delayed slightly by the inherent latency, and  also you will have to mute any other channels you don't want to hear during the recording.

Ahh, Thanks Steve,......Yea, I never use the I for anything haha, the latency is a killer.......my vocalist will just have to settle for her voice only along with the mix in her headphones. Thank you for responding, I appreciate it.

Would it be possible to monitor the vocals clean using the hardware direct function and have the track monitor (i) set so that there is only a wet signal and no dry. This would still have the latency but it might just sound like predelay on the reverb.
