Vocal Headroom - Gain

Forums

I've run into a small problem on the vocal track for the project I'm working on...I'm recording a male vocalist through an e300(2) and an Aphex 207. Normaly, to set an appropriate gain on my preamp i turn on the live monitor feature in Nuendo and set accordingly...making sure it sounds "loud enough" and there's ample headroom on both the LED readout on my preamp and the gauge in Nuendo.

Your Pick for Primo Vocal Compressor

Forums

Of the compressors available today, what would you recommend, with the assumption that it would be used mostly for vocals? I've been narrowing things down a bit, and here's what looks good:

UA 1176N
UREI LA2, LA3 or LA4
Empirical Labs Distressor
dbx 160S or 160SL
Manley EL OP (or, really, and of their comps)
Purple Audio MC77
Drawmer 1968

Best vocal mic for very loud stages/rehearsal rooms

Forums

hi,there are a few good mics out there that i have tested in mic shops that sound nice such as the Sennheiser E935, E945 Audio-Technica AE6100, AE4100. but i have been wondering what vocal mic might be best for my applications. i have a clean melodic voice but i sing in melodic metal bands that tend to be very loud on stage and in the rehearsal rooms.

New Vocal Mic (MG, Soundelux)

Forums

Ok I STILL can't figure out what I want (no way to test mics here in the middle of nowhere). I use a 414 uls through a 428 with a distressor as my vocal chain and it works pretty good. I want to step it up with a better mic as I have read the 414 is not really a superb vocal mic. I am looking at something from Geffell, because all I have read says their great.
