A touch of reverb almost always seems to be universally preferred. The so called singing in a tiled bathroom effect. I wonder why? Could it be that it somehow makes us feel safer? Or is it some otherworldly dreamlike quality that we like. Even better than real life? Perhaps that's why Pop music has been processed in some way or other for decades. Some of the artists have enjoyed more than a little vocal assistance. |
