Hello,
I'm getting OK results recording vocals in pro-tools using a good condeser mike with compression and EQ, but i'm just not happy with it. 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

dubster,
If you're saturating the vocal track(s) with reverb and/or other effects, that's one reason why you might be ill content with what you're hearing. One technique that thickens things a bit is to record 2 tracks of the same phrasing, in unison, individually. Then pan 1 to a quarter left and the other to a quarter right. You can make it even thicker if you add more bass to 1 and less bass to the other, effects to 1, leaving the other somewhat dry, etc.. Another 3rd track with pan/center can be added, in which case you'd hard pan the othersHave Fun! L/R.
Shouldn't do this with every song though, as it will start to sound redundant.
And remember that in most cases, less is way, way more.
