				Hi there,
 Just wondering if anyone has any experience of this... 4-part close harmony vocals, unaccompanied.
 I'm having trouble getting a good, full sound from the unusual frequency distribution of the raw recording without making it sound "contrived".
 
 Any tips on EQ/compression or post processing? I would much appreciate it! The plug ins I have availabe are listed below; recommendations on other suitable ones would be great.
 The vocal parts are just recorded straight into PT with a little compression using a RODE NT1, then processed with very mild use of AutoTune.
 
 Many thanks!

				How is the place you use for recording? Maybe some things in the accoustic are messing the whole stuff. Are there hard flat surfaces near ? Is the mic used at a consistent distance? Or are some take far from it, other close to? Are you sure the mic is the best for the peculiar voice(s) you are recording? The NT1 is a good mic in its class, but it may not be the right one.
