Basic Effect Chain For Rap Vocal Recording

1. Noise Gate – Removes background noise.
2. De-Esser – Controls harsh “S” sounds.
3. EQ – Cuts unwanted frequencies and boosts clarity.
4. Compressor – Levels out the vocal for consistency.
5. (Optional) Pitch Correction/Autotune – Tightens pitch or adds effect.
6. Delay – Adds space without washing out the vocal.
7. (Optional) Reverb – Use sparingly for depth.

Tip: Keep vocals clean and upfront; use effects lightly for rap.
