Hi<br>
<br>
I do (and did over the years) quite some recording with vocals. I know a<br>
few tricks when it comes to processing lead vocals, but sometimes I feel<br>
I'm doing the same thing over and over. So obviously I'm looking for<br>
other directions and therefore I'll save my own approaches for later in<br>
this thread...<br>
<br>
My question is: how do *you guys* work with processing on lead vocals,<br>
mostly in pop/rock setting? We all learn the most the more precise this<br>
discussion gets, so if you'd share sound examples and screenshots of DSP<br>
chains that'd be great.<br>
<br>
Note: I'm not looking for that golden setting or trying to squeeze your<br>
golden eggs out of you. I'm just trying to learn, and hopefully this can<br>
be a fruitful experience for all of us :-)<br>

<br>When I use the sm58, in addition to the above I prefer to pass the track into Jamin (I am a fan of this app ;-) ) and work with compression bandwidths.<br></div></div><br>Sometimes I double vocal track, shift the duplicated one by 1-2ms and boost freq 2Kh below the main one (ie. if I boost the first at ~10Kh, the second will be at ~8Kh).<br>
