In this session, Jacquire King shares his approach to gain staging a vocal chain using a Neve preamp and an LA-2A compressor.
He emphasizes the importance of pushing the Neve preamp to achieve a fuller, saturated tone by adjusting the input and output levels. This technique allows for optimal tonal quality without overloading the compressor.
King demonstrates the balance required between input gain, compression, and output levels to maintain a healthy signal and desired compression level. This meticulous adjustment ensures a rich vocal sound and an effective recording level.
