What's up?

I'm doing a Christmas hiphop prject for a local radio station.

I am using Cubase 3.65 to which I have recorded all the vocals already. I am currently finishing off the MID programming. I like to work the music to fit the vocal, so I always go back and redo the MIDI.

I am interested in know what type of FX to use on the vocals and their settings. Also what about the FX on the final master stereo tracks?

Thanks.

really it's down to the sound you want - you gotta decide cos there's no rules, you can do anything you like

I feel that, but still there must be some starting points that you use.

That's what I wanna know. I can tweak to get my sound, but I'm trying to broaden my knowledge on this thing

well, my starting point is a decent clean clear vocal, after that, i can make it sound close, dry and intimate or big an reverbed, or thru a megaphone/telephone, etc - vocodered, delayed, pitch0-shifted etc etc... what you need to do is think what would go with the track best , but start with clean & clear...

Thanks. I already have the vocals done.

I am thinking of using a TC Works plugin to furhter compress the vocals. I have the lead set at about 3.5:1 with a thres -2.5, attack 0.1, release 77. I also comp the ad libs quite a bit.

i have not done any processing to the midi stuff. I am still finishing my programming. I like to go back and create the final midi sound around the vocal. It's not a popular way of doing things, but I think it helps shape the total sound that allowing all the pre-production ideas stay does not capture since the it does not have the nuances of the vocal performance.

Anyway, enough rambling. Please feel free to give details. I understand general idea on clear, clean sound but I am looking for settings that I can experiment with. I'll tweak accordingly, but I'm interested in trying out things.

Thanx
