Im looking for that very expensive vocal sound in the mix, used on many records you hear on the radio. I have the equipment that should take me there. I have 2x 4040s and a Marshall electronics tube condenser with nice preamps. Any VST plugins or other tips to make the vocals sound right in your face with a very full/present sound. thanks

HALLO, PLEASE COULD SOMEBODY IN DETAILS TELL ME WHAT THE BASIC PROCESSES ARE FOR FRESH (DRY) RECORDED VOCALS. WHAT IS MOSTLY A GOOD THRESHOLD, ATTACK/REALEASE/GATE/ WHEN USING COMPRESSORS? WHAT IS THE PROPER ORDER WHEN YOU WANT TO APPLY EQUALAZATION, DELAY, ENHANCERS, EXCITERS AND REVERB?

Hey guys (and girls),

Hi,

I am a trifle confused, I decided in my quest to read all that is here at RO to start on the Vocal Booth threads - are there really only 2 pages?

If not, apologies for posting what has no doubt been done before.

This came up on another of my posts and so I was curious if anyone had used this mic for rock vocals. Like I said in another post I read somewhere that Rick Rubin used this on some of the System of a Down vocal tracks.

I was given a Shure Vocal Master (VM302) mixer. I have spent a good deal of time trying to find a price and some more information on this thing. It is in pretty good shape and everything still works on it. I have no use for it but someone might want it as a good vintage mic preamp-amp? Any help would be great. (And yes i have looked on ebay with no luck.

i was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of whats on the vocals in a certain chevelle song. its extremely clear vocals to me. i dont understand how andy wallace mixes this album. but the song I'm talking about is "panic prone" off of "This Type Of Thinking Could Do Us In" amazon has a clip of it..

Ive had no experience with recording vocals but i have myself the necessary equipment. I was just wondering, what is the correct way to go about recording?
