I am usually a no frills guy when it comes to vocals, I just like GOOD vocals.

However I am getting into a lot of work with people who want WEIRD Marylin Manson-ish vocals.

My first thought is the Eventide Harmonizer, but I do not have access to one anymore, and as much as I would like to have one, they are still pricey, or at least all the ones I have seen.

Can anyone help me hook up an external effects unit to the ardvark q10 so that I may be able to use it in Sonar 3? Im new and not real sure how to connect it and make it work in sonar. Thx!

Hi

What plugin (RTAS or VST or DX) would you use to simulate an old vinil record (with noise, clicks and limited frequency response)? A client asked me to do it for some kind of joke "ghost" track to go at the end of the record.

Thanx

L.G.

Could anyone tell me why loop effects should be panned? Is it not better to live them in mono so that they are at the center of the stereo field? Any guideline on panning them properly.

I Just got the Pro Tools HD and was woundering what are some good effects to use on the vox and in the mix just not only Reverb and EQ need that nice warm sound without out board gear,also how to get a nice EQ out of a live bass and kick thx for the time ...Radmaster :)

I've been told there are two philosophies.

1. Add effects when recording a track, leaving minimal work for mastering ie. get it right on the way in.

2. Record dry and do all the effect selection when mastering.

I expect it depends on what works for each individual, and the complexity of the piece.

Hi all,

Apart from Autotune and Vocoders (and the standard plugins like reverb, delay, and compressors), can you recommend other vocal FX which can be used in techno/trance/dance mixes?

I do a lot of metal bands and they tend to want distortion on the vocals for some or all of the tracks. I've tried using plugins like the grungilizer, I've run the track through the Line 6 POD, Sansamp Bass DI and a few other Guitar distortion boxes. For the most part the bands are satisfied, but I'm not happy with the results I've achived at this point.

I have this old Behringer Edison-Stereo image enhancer that I've had a lot of fun with. I've used it a lot on Bg-vocals. I really like the way you can expand the stereo-image and be able to move the center from "front" to "rear" ( and vice versa).
Now I know that you'll say that all the Behringer stuff are crap... So my question is:

I was making some recordings of bass frequencies to check the response of my controll room. While I was setting up the mic in different positions round the room I had a 100Hz sine I generated in soundforge running on my K-ROK monitors fairly loud.
