What is your 1 or 2 favorite (or goto) microphone preamps for recording vocals?

Ok, got another question. I mixed down multiple vocals into two tracks. Now I am putting them back with a two track music soundtrack. Should I pan the vocals left and right, or leave both of them down the middle?

Hey all. I am getting ready to master a project (I'm a newbie) by a trio. As I was listening, I noticed the vocals just didn't seem to come out and "slap me in the face" like I like. Are there any good tips for bringing these out?

Hi there. I recently heard that many singers record their parts listening to playback through speakers rather than headphones, James Hetfield on the Black Album and Kurt Cobain on Nevermind were used in reference.

Hi,

To make a long story short... I was recently on a forum where someone stated that they were having problems getting a good sound recording vocals with a Shure sm57... a few replies offered different mic suggestions, but a few also suggested a better preamp...

Hello all. I have a project to master.It is a live 2 track of a (don't laugh)Christmas Show.(Recored with 2 Scheops into a dat,near the stage.The problem being--mics were too close to the band,and the pa was flown 20 feet above the stage.Vocals are not up front,as they should be.These a very good adult singers.Any tips for bringing the vocals more up front?

Hi,

I am kind of new here and will need your patience with my novice questions. I would like to be quided on the best reverb for vocal and best settings.

How can I get my vocals to sit in the mix better?

Hi I just recently aquired one of these 2 channel compressor/ expanders. And i was wondering if It could be used on professional vocals? If not what would this be good on? It will be paired with a ssl preamp and a new vocal mic soon ( any suggestions there?).. It is mainly for rock melodic male vocals thanks. :D

Would anybody help me master a 40 second vocal track, and then tell me what they have done to it? I would really appreciate this because I am trying to learn some mastering.. If anything my email address is: zefir-plhh@wp.pl Thanks for any help,

Peter
