(Eli5) why do the vocals of a song have an echo when you listen to the vocals only version of a song?
In: 17
It’s there in the original version as well it just isn’t as noticeable with a full band playing. The echo adds depth to the performance, makes the performance sound fuller, and covers up imperfections. In modern music it is often added digitally but was used in recording even before analog or digital effects by playing back audio through a speaker into a bare room called an echo chamber where it could then be re-recorded with the natural echo of the room. It is so common in music that you don’t often hear vocals without it.
