Sidechaining vocal reverb is a technique used in audio engineering to create a more controlled and cohesive vocal sound. It involves using a compressor to reduce the volume of the reverb signal when the vocal signal is present, creating a pumping effect that makes the vocal more prominent in the mix.
This technique can be particularly useful in dense mixes where the reverb from the vocal can muddy up the overall sound. By sidechaining the reverb, the engineer can ensure that the vocal remains clear and intelligible, even when there are other instruments playing.
