I can trust me ears, but a lot of times my ears don't like any reverb on vocals.

But when everything else in the mix has varied colors, a dry vocal doesn't sound natural, which is weird cause a dry vocal is natural.

Cheynne, pitching songs to the market is almost non existent.

I was never really a song pitcher anyway, it was more for me to record. But nowadays nobody records other songwriters stuff.

Maybe in the real cheese pop world, and in some country circles you can still pitch songs, or more so, show songs to people you already know.

and song demos, ar nearly dinosaurs.

Now the idea is to have a finished product, one so good that a major artist can simply sing over your track and it's done.

There might be indies who work the old way...

But technically, a bad mix of reverb on vocals or on anything can cause a song to get rejected, if it's not immediately sounding good, and easy to hear, it will force them to say...next....

But today you need master quality recordings, just to sound like you belong in the conversation.

Especially in a time when anybody can get "pretty good" recordings, either at home or paying somebody to do it.

You need better than what everybody else has, from song to recording
