Thanks a lot Dan - I agree on the bass
Thanks a bunch Bitflipper - outside the box the vocal is recorded on a cheapy Behringer C-3 microphone going through my Tascam FW-1082 board.
Inside the box, it's going through Waves Vocal Rider first, then I am using the Tube Equalizer from the VX64 vocal strip to boost slightly at the low end, then some pretty severe tube drive from the Prochannel Tube, there is a small amount of the PC2A, and all of that is being fed through a separate buss with some more tube compression, EQ Shelving and pro filter from NI Guitar Rig 5's library. Pretty messy now I write it down!! :)
