I’ve been doing a lot of recording the last few weeks, getting back into that world of getting good takes, mixing the voice with tracks… and vocal comping, which is the subject of this weeks article. I’m by no means a fully fledged expert, but it’s something that is good to have some competency at as a professional vocal coach and working with singers and voice users.
Many of you may be familiar with the idea of “comping”. This is about compiling the best snippets of multiple attempts at a song, and piecing them together to get a single “best” master take. This has been standard practice for some years now. I came across this excellent article on it by a journalist over at Motherboard, and I thought I’d share the article HERE for you to enjoy.
