My friend uses podfarm and acid 6.0 to record with,podfarm has thousands of vocal effects to choose from but I sware each and everyone of them are dull,very dead sounding,no life behind the actual effect. Once i find one mic effect that does sound like it has life and rich sounding it has to much echo or mix to it. There has to be some sort of universal microphone effect that is just the default sound of you through the mic, i cant seem to find one.Out of all the mic effects ive pritty much just got it down to two effects, one is called Blues Vocal which projects your voice pretty well, with the tiniest bit of echo. I use that effect when im recording to a track or beat that is very plain ,a track that doesnt have a million sounds everywhere. For the more ambient type track I use an effect called Vintage vocal which to me magnifys my voice the same as blues vocal but has an ambient type echo to it for the tracks that have more sounds going on. But even these effects arent coming out 100%,as a matter of not even close to that. What do most 1 vocal track rappers rap through? What effect? Please someone break down some shit for me.
First of all,when you record your vocals,record them DRY which means without any effects.
Then,later when you mix your stuff,then you apply your effects to taste.

Its gonna take a very long time to grasp this stuff,but with perserverance and tenacity,you might get it.

And btw,please learn to spell correctly while you are at it.
