Fairchild, and PSP Neon. Both awesome.

OrangeVocoder. If I'm doing something with a vocoder.

E-Compressor for Parallel Compression. There's probably better though (feel free to make suggestions).

Biggest thing I want though is and eq that works well with really narrow bandwidths without annoying resonance when there's some surgical stuff to be done.

anybody using the oxford eq anymore?

i used to use it alot but it seems like i havn't been turning to it as much.

[ambiguity]

Digi EQ III, De-esser III, BombFactory BF3A, L1, Revibe.

[Killah_Trakz]

AC 1 / AC 2
Waves SSL
TL SPACE with my own set of IR's
And last but not least Nebula 3 (yall sleeping)
Massey and digi's delay

[E-Irizarry]

FL studio reverb (once again dont sleep)?

Say word, Big Bird! Lemme fine out....

[P3anut]

-cool thread

euhh fl reverb sux ballz imo. Don't get me wrong i love FL just not that reverb. And are you using FL to record and mix your vox???

But i have to ad URS Pro to the list. Like the C4 too and Rchannel with rvox for the compressor. bverb 2 so basically stuff that's already been stated. Who's taking points? Most voted plugin

My favorite vocal comp is the UAD1176LN. Its the one I usually end up going with. I sometimes use Rencomp or 88RS. I use the normal reverbs, UAD Plate 140, CSR, Altiverb. The equalizer I use the most is the UAD Pultec, it really sweetens up the vocals...but sometimes I use the Helios or URS CSP.

Yes, I sound like a UAD spokeman but they just sound amazing.

R-COMP for almost everything i do....

and some Eq's if need be...

Although i'm still trying to decide on Something Outboard for my Rack.

[Anaon]

Somehow, I really like the free Pushtec EQ on vocals...

[andivax]

compressors:
1) uad la2a - almost always except:
2) uad la3a - to add mid freq coolest (sometimes)
3) uad 1176ln - to add character (sometimes)

eq:
1) uad neve 1073 - killer stuff for vocals
2) uad helios 69 - killer plug when it's own character. love low know with 60/100Hz and hi knob with 10kHz. sounds very nice with VERY extreme tweaks

reverb:
1) wizooverb w2 - always escept:
2) uad plate 140 - musicality
3) artsacoustic reverb - musicality

effects:
1) discodsp thrillme - brings to life poor or lifeless vocals
2) cubase quadrafuzz - i use it mostly for SFX but sometimes in send bus for adding harmonics
3) nickcrow tubedriver - the best FREE tube amplifier effect

there is no BEST plug for me. when i need some character i just know what i will exactly use. it's all about sound.

[Icecoldr]

I use liquid mix and uad-1 the LA2A ,1176, 1073eq,plate 140 Yall sleeping on the liquid mix its the best bang for the buck far as sound and what you get for $800 and we all know nothing sound dead on the real thing but its close

stumbled across it yesterday in a mix when nother else was working and was absolutely blown away. i'd never used it on vocals before.

Even though its a mastering EQ I too tried it on vocals and loved how it subtley adds/subtracts to the vox in a pleasant way.

[DeadPoet]

All of the above apply to me too (UAD stuff in particular).

Add to that: PSP42, AudioDamage FuzzPlus, DubStation, Reverence (err.. I mean ADVerb), Princeton Digital 2016 Stereo Room, Bootsy Tessla, Voxengo TapeBuss and maybe others.


Stuff that DOESN'T work for me on vocals:

Blockfish (too fuzzy/ blurred), Cubase EQ (not even for cutting) and reverbs, most Waves stuff (V-series, API, RenEQ), UAD 88, the Sonnox stuff, URS CSP, ..

[JLit]

EQ:
API 5500B for R&B vox - boost the mid and high's for a nice airy texture
McDSP- E6- Great for cutting low end and bring out that mid and high's
Pultec EQP-1- bass/drums/ anything low end to bring out that NEve coloration (or as close as possible without the analog unit)
RND-FRE-QUALIZER

COMP:
RVox,RComp,RAxxe,Focusrite d3, FabFilter Pro C, so many good compressors each with their own forte's

REverb: AltiVerb, IK CSR, TLSpace

Delays: Metaflanger, Enigma, Tremolator (sound toys)

Just off the top of my head
