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

Actually, a Shure 57 or 58(or the like) w/ just a bit of compression will get you great results......

The performance is first and utmost, the main ingredient. A clear, undistorted level while recording is second ..and then the rest follows. The better the performance and initial track/recording, the less you'll need to color(add effects).

Condenser Mics are great, but not neccessary. Especially, if you're on a lower budget
