[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 92299, member: 46"] Re: Vocal Levels - Ruth Moody Tim, back in the late 80's and the 90's studio recordings tended to have vocals less forward both in level and in midrange than they are in many current productions. There is certainly a tendency in modern stuff for the engineer to push a little more in the 2K region of the vocal than used to be the norm. Of course these are vague generalities, there are many many exceptions. FWIW, If you ever hear me mix a show and the vocals are low, it's because someone on the "talent" end of the mic was stinking it up. Recently, someone said to me, I can't hear the background singer very clearly. My response to him was: "You're welcome". He got the hint. I should be more careful though....fortunately it was not his wife, his kid, etc. I know some who say "if they suck, let them suck loud and clear". I subscribe more to the "try to make something tolerable out of this" mantra. [/QUOTE]
