I've been listening to a lot of really good vocal production of people with great, and not so great, voices such as Sufjan Stevens, Alice in Chains, A Perfect Circle, Neil Young, but it s not happening on my recordings. Anyone got good techniques, effects chains, favourite effects etc? Favourite vocalists? Cheers

From my experience I can say a good vocal recording consists of 95% great vocal talent, 3% recording situation atmosphere and 2% technical stuff. Red Hot Chili Peppers for instance have used a lot of cheap Shure dynamic mics to record their vocals. It's not the gear, it's what lies beneath.
