I did an internship a recording after high-school some years ago (yikes I'm getting old
). This female pop singer came in one weekend and recorded. I vividly remember her voice ok, not great. After the engineer had working his
magic with some serious
compression on her vocals; she sounded amazing. Like a "popish" version of Mariah Carey. I remember he make her do like 30 overdubs of the chorus and it sounded like very filling and soulful.Right, compression.
