the real chain

What is actually public about Lil Tecca's vocal chain

  • Mixer Joe Colmenero told Sound on Sound (Nov 2019) Tecca records with a Neumann U87; preamps used included Neve 1073, Avalon 737, and SSL VHD Pre.
  • Ransom vocals were tracked with Auto-Tune Live in the session; Colmenero replaced with Auto-Tune Pro and matched by ear—vocals recorded with Auto-Tune on, 'playing Auto-Tune like an instrument.'

  • Vocal sends used Waves RVerb and Waves H-Delay (quarter-note); Avid EQ7 filtered lows/highs before reverb.
