Hi,
I read a lot of threads where people are looking for some tricks and
hints about recording various things, and in my experience, if you hang
a good mic, in a good spot, and go through good gear, you're gonna get a
decent sound. There are no tricks involved.
Unfortunately this is experiential, too, so you just need to do it a
lot. :-)
Rich...
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.
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).
