So I've been doing some reading in this forum and have learned that, yes a large part of a good vocal involves the talent of the singer. However, technically what makes a good vocal recording?...after recording some of my own vocals and comparing to some CD's of mine I realize they need some sprucing up. I've heard about limiters and compressers and equalizers, yet I have NO CLUE what these do. I have fiddled with them a bit and can definitely hear a difference in the sound, but I guess my question is"What is the desirable vocal sound/quality?" and "How is it achieved?"...I'm sure this will spur a multitude of different answers...so I guest every just give your two cents. Thanks

I have a pretty standard mic (not sure brand, cost me $120 if that helps), running into my Firewire Solo to my comp, into Logic...I've been fiddling with the Logic compressor as well as the AU Apple compressor. But I guess my main question would be, what do compressers, limiters, and equalizers do....and how will I know when I've achieved the best sound? Sorry if these questions are basic knowledge....I'm very very green with this.
