Hi guys
Can someone tell me how to achieve a fattt vocal track for rap /rnb music?

Do you have some tips about this?
Compression, Delays used..

Are you doubling the vocals and how?

How you achieve the fatness and the stereo spread effect?

Thanx
FUNKY

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.

Most of the songs I've written and recorded are done featuring instrumentation in mind
(since I can't sing to save my own mothers life). I play mostly Jazz/funk, R&B etc and my recordings consist heavily of 4 piece horn section keys,gits,drums with a horn usually playing the melodic portion of the jam.

just a curious question of how you all give treatment to your background vocals in todays modern songs.

One of my favorite classic compressors is the GATES Sta-Level, and the GATES Level-Devil. These compressors are sha-wheat on lead vocals. The Level-Devil does a Exp/Comp thing that's hard to imitate with any other gear.
