Hi guys,

was wondering what techniques are popular when trying to "glue" a main vocal with the rest of the track and achieve overall cohesiveness. I find that a simple reverb,etc, doesnt always work very well as the vocal can pull away from the mix disturbing the "3d" image and overall sense of depth we may have already created with rhythm section. They still managed to keep this image even in genre's (like the 80's) where the fx are very obvious and up front. Yet there still seems to be a "one-ness" and cohesiveness about the whole mix that bloody works!

cheers,
