the real chain

What is actually public about Central Cee's vocal chain

  • Sound on Sound (Sean Donoghue / May 2022): on Central Cee's 23, vocals were tuned on just two songs; drill vocals rarely tuned unless singing.
  • SOS: Donoghue mixed 12 of 15 songs on 23; prefers dry vocal WAVs and wet beat WAVs; uses his own vocal chain.
  • SOS: drill energy also relies on reverse reverb, chop-outs and stutters as effects.
  • SOS: recording chain example when he tracks—Neve 1073 + Neumann U87 (his studio); mixes largely in-the-box.
