I've been experimenting for several years now, and without making this a thread of "boost this and cut that", "use this not that". I was wondering if there is a useful reference (book, CD, etc) for drum eq/compression/gate/etc available (in addition to my ears and creative experimentation).

What do you guys use to get that effect that your Vocals or mix is coming through a small radio or pig amp ?

Is there a plugin thats good for this ?

Hey All,

On my Tascam 2488mk2 it has a range of Vocal Effects, I'm new to them and I would like some more detail on what they mean or do.

Compression?
De-Esser?
Exciter?

http://myspace.com/therefortomorrow has a song called "Wrong Way To Hide"

Greetings!
Wanted to ask for advise on a specific vocal recording/mixing technique:
I have noticed that in many pop-rock mixes the way that vocals done in choruses is different from the verses. The vocals sound thicker, powerful, but at the same time - more distant then the verse. An example would be "Who knew" by Pink.
Does anybody know how this is done?

How do you apply an effect to a specific time within a track?

For example:

You have a vocal with the following lyric " One, Two, Three" and you want only the Three to echo, delay etc.

Also the same sort of thing with an instrumental part and you want the end of a section to echo, delay etc.

hey guys,
Can anyone tell me how to achieve the gang vocal effect in the clip below? The sound effect I'm talking about comes in at about 10 seconds. (you'll know what I'm talking about)

I'm familiar with normal gang vocals, but these sound a bit different.

Hi gruop. Well I have done a ton of reading on this site about recording vocals and I can't seem to find some basic information I am looking for. Hopefully someone can give me a hand.

I am not new to recording in my home studio but I am new to recording vocals. I am using Cubase SX3 and Universal Audio plugin effects. I have a vocal iso booth and using a $200 Rhode condensor mic.

Hey guys, I'm planning on recording a new song for my solo project and for the vocals during the verse I want to have my voice sound different, like with an effect on it. The type of sound I want is like what Billie Joe's voice sounds like on the verses of American Idiot, it sounds like it has some reverb and maybe a little bit of a like megaphone sound.

We're not recording, just playing in clubs, weekend warrior. Not skilled in sound engineering either so I was wondering what training is available to learn the basics of using the effects on lead vocals. We simply want to get close to the original sound on the 60's and 70's rock we cover.

We have a Peavey XR 684.
