What is processing?
« on: December 27, 2016, 09:32:31 pm »
I always hear stuff like "oh just process this vocal" or "process this sound." What does that even mean? I'm somewhat experienced in production (3 years) but this has to be the broadest description of an effect I've ever heard.

That being said, your input signal is being processed by the effects to create an output signal.

input>Equalizer>output

**read from left to right**

The processing aspect can come from various considerations based on the context and understanding that  you and/or another party has/have when discussing and using the term.






What is described above is a blanket explanation that can be used in  many forms that do involve processing.

I guess 'Process this vocal' is equally meaningless as saying 'Work that body'.

It means you have to do something with it but it leaves me completele clueless.

You have to fit it in the mix but there are several wyas it can be done.

its when you add extra to an original sound to make it sound better
some guys can use presets but shape it to sound really good
