Vocals and VST's?

Hey, everyone. Today, the thing I'm wondering is:
Exactly what instrument (or WHATever!) do I use to write out a vocal part that will be sung later? Should it just be a sine wave? or something more elaborate?

Thanks.

Piano usually works well.

But really, any instrument that can play a melody will work except percussion.

I've found clarinet/saxophone-type sounds good, because they have a human feel. That way you can use piano in the arrangement and the intended vocal part stands out softly.

I think you should purchase any mic.. even if your budget is $99.. and hum, sing, or do a demo track of the vocal...

just fyi, this mic choice for, "the low budget blues," is also a must have mic in any studio wordlwide...

The advantage of midi is you have the score for the vocals in the same go.

I like piano because the actual vocal track really cannot be approximated with any other instrument? Vocals are too personal? So piano works well because it's just a guide/coach? And the singer can impart whatever inflection is called for on the track.

I use piano, as you say, just for use as a guide.
