A wet acapella is one that has been in contact with water, a dry one has not. A dry one is preferable as a wet one can get your other channels all damp.
Sorry, I’ve no idea!
AdSense 336x280^ lol, that’s awesome.
I believe "wet" means it’s been edited and effects added, probably reverb and the like.
"Dry" is the un-effected version.
AdSense 336x280I was soooo tempted to make a dirty joke, but I’ve decided to be mature instead!
Yes, a dry acapella (or any track stem for that matter) is the vocal as it was recorded with no reverb, delay or any other effects added.
When the effects have been put on, it becomes a wet acapella.Usually the wet version well sound exactly as it does in the released (mixed) version of the track.
I prefer dry vocals, because you can always add effects, but it’s usually pretty difficult to take them out.

facepalms myself for the answer I gave earlier… I guess I was tired!! (thats my excuse and I’m sticking to it!!)Look lads, a wet capella is with an echo and a dry is simply not with an echo.Not necessarily an echo Coppy… A wet acapella can be an acapella that has had ANY post-processing effect applied to it that was not there in the original recording. A dry acapella is one preserved exactly as it was recorded.
Don’t forget some acapellas are intentionally recorded in an environment that echoes, would you consider them wet or dry? The same can be said for recordings made in rooms that produce reverb too.
With or without echoes is simply too simplistic.

[/quote:19li6frl]well i guess it then depends on where the acapella is recorded?
But seriously, how many acapellas is recorded in that kind of enviroment you think? ppl who don’t know how to add echo/reverb to their recordings? yes ofc..AdSense 336x280how many acapellas is recorded in that kind of enviroment you think? ppl who don’t know how to add echo/reverb to their recordings? yes ofc..I imagine there are hundreds, if not thousands, of acapellas recorded in exactly those kind of environments, choirs, for instance spring to mind. Just because the modern music industry (commercial pop/dance/rnb) choose to record vocals in sound deadened rooms doesn’t mean its the norm, or even suitable for all types of acapella.

who knows..
AdSense 336x280i think that a dry acapella with a natural reverb effect cannot be considered wet..Thats my point exactly and why I referred to DJ Coppy’s view of a wet acapella as being one with an echo (or reverb) was, being polite, too simplistic.
