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 :-)
To be honest, I don't do much processing on vocals if I can help it,
as I like to get as much of the raw voice performance as I can -- a
little compression when recording and some reverb or delay as needed
for post-processing. If I want to double the vocal line, I don't do it
electronically, I will have the singer sing each part separately.
