Hey Mod Bod, You might find this new UA Artist series video enlightening. Producer/Engineer extraordinaire Joe Chiccarelli
demonstrates three of my favorite UAD plug-ins (Cooper Time Cube, Dimension D & EMT 140) to bring out a vocal performance.
He uses one of his current hit songs to explain how he got the vocal to shine using UAD plug-ins. All three of the plug-ins brought life to the vocal track, but in a different way. Even after all these years the Plate 140 is still my favorite reverb. In the right hands there is really nothing else quite like it and works great on most anything (vocals, guitars, drums, etc..).
