RE: Steemit Open Mic Week 70 - Radiohead's Creep - @bethwheatcraft
Shoot! I'll be back later when my voting powah goes back up above 70%. You guys sound great, but if you add +/-20% reverb to your voice it will sound even better. That microphone channel was "dry" and that is not something all singers can get away with.
Yeah I usually put a bit of reverb on but the openmics are supposed to be live! So I didn't want to mess with my sound!
I don't think it is seen as cheating; it's the difference between the laundry room and a Cathedral. It doesn't really matter though; anyone will hear that you can deliver without the electronic room expansion.
Backed. Backed hard.
You actually take away from the natural sound of your voice as it would come across live (or in a really well mixed and mastered recording) by keeping the reverb off totally.
I’d even say that you could add in the reverb that onnovocks suggested, or even a little bit more and then throw in just the slightest pre-delay, and you’ll get your open mic recording to sound as close as you’re going to get (without a fully engineered mix) to an actual open mic performance in person.
Your voice deserves that.
