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

I usually do process vocals depending on the mic and the mixing console preamps.
Assuming a Mackie mixing desk:
If I can use (ie. borrow from friends) a condenser one then a little compression (SC) + multiband eq (to clarify, usually <=3db around 12Kh) and a nylon stocking to remove unwanted "b" "p" is enough.
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.
