[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 108554, member: 46"] Re: IEMs, Singers and Occlusion Excellent discussion guys. On a somewhat related note, I have been more regularly doing monitor mixes which involves realtime pitch correction being applied to vocals (let's not debate the use of pitch correction). If you haven't already run into this, you likely soon will as it becomes more widespread through the TC Helicon boxes and similar products. Interestingly, occlusion is a major factor here as well, as when the singer's pitch is off, the corrected signal combines with the occlusion effect that the singer hears and creates an effect which sounds like their vocal is being run through a Chorus pedal. And, similarly, only the singer hears this phenomenon. This can obviously be applied only to the FOH mix to avoid this circumstance if you want to go that route. Also, I have encountered some singers who actually WANT to hear this effect - they say it helps them by letting them know when they are out of tune, effectively training them to sing better. Sorry for a bit of a tangent from the original subject matter. [/QUOTE]
