Could anyone tell me a good starting point for settigs for hard rock style vocals. I'm using a
Mackie board / RODE NTK / BBE / and a dbx DDP compressor. Looking for specific
settings for

threshhold,
attack, r
elease,
knee.
Thanks a lot, Carl

I'm currently using a RODE NTK with an Avalon 737sp. Can someone give me some ideas on mic/preamp combos that would be better than this. I record mostly Contemporary Country and Pop, some R&B. Male tenor range. I also do VOs.

I've heard a lot of raving about the new BLUE Kiwi and the Sound Projects T3 mics. Anyone used them and with what preamp?

I was jsut wondering what kinda signal processing the pros are using nowadays. I'm mixing a project for class with a male vocalist. It's kinda Duncan Shiek/ Savage garden genre. The vocalist is decent but not really emotional. I just need some ideas to put some final touches on the mix. Any suggestions?

Hi guys,

Kind of a funny question...

I need to do vocal recordings (country & pop lead/backup) with an AKG-414C/BULS. I've got every piece of the chain save a decent preamp. I would prefer not to spend more than $400 on one (1/2 channel, preferrably 2).

hi guys.

Hello.

I've heard that some guys use 2 Comps while Vocal recordings.Your opinion? (or any good set ups?)

I saw in a Studio (photo) they used U87 and a MD 421 about half meter back of it.Any ideas why?

When I record the Vocals my problem is that when the singer sings the p, k. or a loud "s" it sounds sometimes too hard and the "s" like "st".
I know that this is a compr. problem but what? I use the goldenmike preamp + groovetubes CL1s. Sometimes the TL Audio C1. I've heard that using 2 Compressors is a good idea.Can you give me some tips-tricks? Thank you
