JPF Home Page Forums Musician Gear and Techniques Microphone and Vocalist Forum Need advice on effects for vocal compression

I use light compression when recording and have the singer not sing directly into the mic. I know, however, that most of the pros seem to state it is better to use no compression during recording and just add it later during mixing. Depending on the song and singer, sometimes I add a little reverb when recording and sometimes add some during mixing.

When I record Justice (age ten) we sometimes use some special effects - since her songs are oriented toward the pop / Miley Cyris / disney sound.
