Thanks for all your help so far.
I'm getting a good clean signal from my vocal booth, solid and no strange tone peaks.
Any tips on what type of effects and to use on 'em? I don't know what type of delay and reverb to use mostly... when I put em on it sounds a bit brittle to me.
Thanks...

Oct 11, 2012 08:44 pm Ya, I agree. In the context of a mix, we might be able to be a little more helpful. But the answer could be anywhere from 10 plugins to zero depending on the needs of the song/style.
But ill tell you one thing, having a good clean vocal track is a heck of a start. I rarely have that luxury (rock band usb mic lol) so I usually go a bit heavier on the effects to get them to sit good in the mix.
But ya, post a clip. We're a pretty knowlegeable bunch of dudes.
Oct 11, 2012 11:07 pm they kinda always sound brittle like that i reckon till ya mix em in a bit, but i like a thin or vintage plate with a decent reverb time and a modest send level for starters.
Oct 12, 2012 07:05 am I little rule of thumb to start with I find is being a simple one...whatever effect you decide to use (let's use reverb), turn it up until you easily hear the reverb, then roll it back a notch...obviously that is hitting it with a simple stick, but it's a decent starting point.
Oct 20, 2012 10:15 pm Hey, not ignoring this... I will post a clip. Just got swamped with other stuff. Traveling to Detroit tomorrow for a family crisis... but when I get back I'm load an mp3... any where in particular you folks like 'em loaded? I usually use box.net.

Sep 07, 2014 05:01 pm I hear the word brittle and I think tube warmer. There are some decent plugs that will do this. Distortion in a sense. What a tube does when it gets saturated with signal. Takes the edges off.
