Pump up the lead vocal

Hi there.

I am currently mixing my own bands album and have a query regards getting the lead vocal as big as possible in a certain section.

The section in question is a loud guitar / angry hammond organ based chorus that starts with a 4 way vox harmony for the first word then breaking down to a single vocal line for the remainder and repeat.

Good Preamp for Vocals?

Hey guys! I'm looking for a good/great preamp to suit my vocals well. In another thread a lot of guys preferred I get a dynamic mic instead of a condenser due to the type of vocals I record; rap. I'm currently looking at the Focusrite ISA One which is about $499.99. Mics that were suggested are: Shure Beta 58A & Sennheiser e835 (plan on getting both).
