slap back echo question
I'm recording a song that is like a basic 50's rock tune. if there's slap back echo on the lead vocal, should the backing vocals have that too, or does it get too muddy. Thanks.

That's an interesting point of view, Keywest. Thanks.

Thank RRuskin--didn't like the slap back echo on the backing vocals. It indeed did "muddy the waters."

Assuming you're doing the slap with a plugin, you may want to try a couple things.
1. Experiment with the low-pass filter. Maybe bringing it way down, below 2K or even into the high hundreds. You may find it gives you a nice depth without as much clutter. Sam Philips might have done this if he had been able to. 2. Dial in a little feedback. Sam did, sometimes. With the LP filter, every repeat will be a tad duller than the previous. Just like tape!

Nothing wrong with effects on backing vocals, but delay would be best left for the main vocal track alone.

Some pretty dogmatic responses, but this place can be like that. So not rock 'n' roll.
