For example, singing vocals will need more reverb correct?
I'm sure that there's a difference, I just went to a primarily "hip-hop" studio to record a soul record, and when I was done, the audio was complete garbage, to the point where if you didn't know better, you would genuinely think that I recorded it at home in my bed room WITHOUT all the fancy gear.
Just trying to understand what went wrong. I understand that that it's not the engineers job to turn hot garbage into Pavarotti or Celine Dion, I understand this, HOWEVER, if I'm walking away with a version that I honestly could have recorded better myself, then what's the point?
**Edit:**
Oh, and before anyone says "You went to a hip-hop studio to record soul.. THAT'S your problem", the engineer promised me that he had experience recording singers, and showed me a few tracks.. In any event, I now think that recording studios are a waste of money, I had a hunch before, but now I'm sure of it. In this day an age you don't NEED to spend $150 + on studio time to put out QUALITY vocals, remember, a recording studio is just that, a recording studio, it's where you RECORD, not where "GREAT IDEAS" or "Production" is made, yes ideas, and production CAN happen in a studio, but they can also happen elsewhere, when you go to the studio the MAIN objective is clean and professional vocals, unless you're in a band and need to record drums, or recording for a label, I SERIOUSLY don't see why you NEED a professional studio and why you can't get clean vocals at home. Just my thoughts.

Is there a difference in the mixing, and recording of rap vocals vs singing vocals?
