In part two of this interview, Pascal "Kalli" Reinhardt breaks down his send effects and some special fx for a more interesting vocal production. Check out part one to learn about the vocal editing and insert effects Kalli used on Nico's vocal.
"The following plugins (Reverb and Delay) are on seperate sends and are mixed in depending on the vibe of the song."
"Valhalla Vintage Verb is my go-to reverb. It sounds great, is quick to dial in, and is also very efficient on the CPU, making it perfect for any project."
"Valhalla Delay is a versatile tool, allowing for different time signatures on various send channels, such as quarter notes or eighth notes. One of its standout features is the 'ducking' mode, which activates the delay only when the vocals aren't singing (if set to 100% wet). This ensures the vocals remain clear while the delay creates a massive impact during the breaks."
"The last send channel is actually a combination of multiple FX plugins. I use this channel very subtly to make the vocals sound wide, thick, and full, creating an interesting texture rather than just doubling, especially for verses."
"Alter Boy is a powerful tool that reduces the formants to create a 'treated' sound, making it perfect for dark music or dance music. By altering the vocal characteristics, it adds a unique and compelling edge to the mix, enhancing the overall mood and atmosphere of the track. I follow it up with a de-esser to completely get rid of any sibilance."
"Widens vocals and adds effects, it's impact varying with presets."
"Another plugin to widen and effect the sound in a different way."
"Eventide H3000: Provides a chorus-like effect, widening the sound even further."
