Whats up guys, I know this is a recording forum, but there are artists too. This is for them

Hi. I am mixing in Pro Tools. I have the Waves Platinum bundle and the Digi plugins, that's all. I am using an mbox so I can't send to an outboard box. I'd like to put a light vocal distortion on one song (ie Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Is there a suggestion as to how I can do this using what I've got? Thanks a bunch.-J

I'm sure there are several methods to the same end in this case, but I was wondering how the vocals are tracked/processed to get the sound you hear from groups like Rancid, Arctic Monkeys, The Hives, etc. I know that most of these recordings are already limited to the max, but the vocals have a certain "old tape" quality.

I had this in the vocal booth but got no responses so I'm reposting here, sorry!

I'm recording vocals for a screamo band. This is my chain:

Am new to this forum...and am not sure if I'm posting in the
right place, or if there has been a previous post of the same question. Tried to do a search for FAQ's but unable to come up
with anything. or if someone could redirect me to the right
place to post, I would appreciate it.

Question: I am using a HD recorder / Tascam 788 and was trying

Hi.. I just purchased an M-Audio Mobile pre, and having some issues recording vocals. I am using the live 4.0 that came with the hardware (until I purchase something better), and my setup is straightforward. My Guitar-mic to the mobile pre to my computer via usb. No mixers, no nothing. I am able to record guitar tracks perfectly.

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 began by posting this on Stephen Pauls forum, but as it seem to be heading in this direction I thought I'd garnish some comments...

Although I have noticed distortion in the low end as well?
