Does anybody know the best settings in compressor for rap vocals. I don't want it to sound over compressed but clean enough where the attack responds quickly. Thanks guys
I go for a ratio of about 8.0:1 on rapper vocals with an attack time of around 10 ms
Actually ( in Logic) if you click on an audio channel and go to settings at the top of the channel strip, in there under male vocals, there's a not bad rapper vocal setting which will get you started.
I second the statement regarding miking. And in my opinion, proper technique of the performer while using the microphone is a lot MORE important than compression.
