On my vocal mixes, it is generally very simple and no frills when it comes to plugs in the tracks and the busses.
I have tried it all in the elusive attempt to make mediocre vocals sound good...(talking about my vocals) .. but when it all shakes out.... the best sound is a simple track, recorded well, and very little usage of FX.
Its a good lesson to learn early. I hear some folks still trying to use FX to get a good vocal track and it just doesn't generally work that way.
I'm looking to hear some of you original stuff..... if you write.
If you have not listened to my tracks, have a listen... on my web site...link to my music and listen. Start at the top.
