🔥 DOWNLOAD the FREE GUIDE "THE FUNDAMENTALS of COMPRESSION"
👉 https://mixdown.online/compression
There’s a big misconception that you need EQ and compression on the way in to record professional vocals.
You don’t.
In this video, I break down what actually makes a vocal recording sound pro, why obsessing over gear too early leads to frustration and analysis paralysis, and why pros really use EQ and compression when they do.
Vocal Mic I used in this video is the V67, and the BH-2 by JZ Mics.
