compression on vocals

Forums

Hello all,
I am tracking some vocals and have been trying to figure out how to set my compression. The singer's volume has lots of fluctuation in it due to his style, so I want to be careful not to over-compress the signal before putting it to disk. This is the setup I am using: (now don't laugh please, this is the best I can afford at the moment...)

Vocals Under Nuendo

Forums

Hi? I have yet anotha ? Under Nuendo after I record a vocal into the program, I compress the vocal with Nuendo Dynamics 2 plugin at 3:1:1, then I use the SPL De Esser to de ess at the maximum level, then I use the SPL Denoiser to denoise at setting A, am i going in the right direction to getting a "clear vocal"? Should I use BBE Sonic Maximizer to boost the vocal? If so wut settings?
