Mic Pre/Mic combo for R&B Female Vocals

scdafunkyg · 29th March 2006, 06:11 AM

With all this talk about Mic Pres and Mics for Hip Hop. I wanted to get you guys feedback on Mic Pre's and Microphones for recording R&B Vocals, in particular, Female Vocals. The kind of sound I try to get out of my setup is in the stylings of Amerie, Mary J.Blige, Destiny's Child etc. Here's my vocal chain to start off this discussion thread:

Rode NTK --> Avalon 2022 -->DBX160XT --> HD192

What's your weapon (s) of choice for the ultimate Female R&B vocal chain?

TLM 103 or U87 > Prism MMA-4 or a Summit Audio > LA-2A or 1176 (or combo) > Mac (RME Fireface) with UAD Pultec and UAD DreamVerb or Logic Spacedesigner.

Nice for upfront clean RnB vocals.
