Just wondering what you guys are using. I just realized today I've been using the same two for the last 9 years(Neve 1073 or Api 312). Once in a while I tried different things(Manley,Fearn,Avalon,Focusrite), but its funny I always come back to these two. I guess I was wondering if you had the same experience.

A singer I know and respect has suggested, as a warm up exercise for the vocalist I work with, 30 seconds. . barking. I am to join in as well. So that we both feel silly, freeded up and the stomach gets relaxed (v.important for performance). It also takes the pressure off the singer if I do it too. I think it's a good idea.

I'll try it this week and let you know how it goes.

What do you guys think? Maybe it's too much to ask in the plug world, but I love Clearmountain sounding vocals...solid, in your face sound. I'm just not getting there. I am using CompressOrban k right now.

Thanx!

does anyone have any information on the vocal chains that were used on the latest bjork and garbage albums? (mics, pre, converters?) I think both were done in Pro Tools (or Pro Stools, depending on who you talk to ;) ) and I was interested in what they used to get the vocals onto disk.

thanks,

wassup everybody! i know this has been discussed many times but since vocals r such an important part of a mix i wanted 2 know how everyone's processing the vocals ? as 4 me, 1 of the things we do is use DMX 2 mix in -3cent n +3cent w/vox n then put 480 reverb on it, etc... which brings up this question. Is there an alternative to the DMX 4 doing this which will give equal quality results?

I love the sound that I am getting from my vocal mic now. BUT THE "S" sounds are killing me...

I know the first thing you might say is.. DE-EESE. I don't have one.. So what can I do to rid myself of this? :confused: :confused:

Hi all,

I have been doing home recording for some years now. I started with 2 reel to reels, moved to 4 track and now use a PC. I have accumulated a fair amount of "OK" software and equipment - good enough for my less than perfect ears.

How the vocals can be side-chained?

Please tell about the procedure of doing that..

What settings?
What's the purpose?

Thanx

I have just recorded some simple vocal and acoustic guitar tracks on ADAT, and now in the process of mixdown on O2R.

Got 1 vocal track and 3 tracks of acoustic guitar (close miked 57,distant miked RODE NT and a D.I signal).

Would like to ask you pros out there suggestions on how to pan and mixdown the guitar and vocal tracks.
