What is actually public about Post Malone's vocal chain
- Sound on Sound (Louis Bell, Aug 2019): primarily tunes Post in Melodyne, then adds Antares Auto-Tune very lightly to keep things tight; uses Auto-Tune more obviously only on specific lines as an effect—not because Post can't sing.
- SOS (Louis Bell): Post likes Auto-Tune on while freestyling because it helps him hear/find melodies; Bell says Post does not need Auto-Tune after tracking.
- SOS (Louis Bell): Post prefers a wet, anthemic vocal with substantial reverb; Bell sometimes dries vocals slightly before sending to Manny Marroquin for final mix.
- Universal Audio interview (Louis Bell): tracks Post on a Sony C800 into Apollo Twin built-in preamps (no Unison color printed); go-to vocal processing includes UAD 1176, Neve 1073 or API 550A/550B, Cambridge EQ, Sonnox Oxford Inflator; Brigade Chorus Pedal on ad-libs.
