I'd need some help with Rap and RnB vocals
Hi everyone,
my name is Brian and today is my very frist post here.
I own a small project studio here in Tokyo and next week i gonna start a project with an hip hop/RnB band(a female vocalist and a male rapper). Since i never worked before with hip hop or RnB i was wondering how i get the fat-punchy-clear sound on rap vocals, wide stereo chorus for the vocalist and killer drum sound that i hear on the commercial cds.
My "Hard weapons" are an SSL channel strip with the optional AD conversion card connected via AES/EBU to the motu 896HD and a U87 ai microphone while my "Soft weapon" are uad-1 and powercore plug ins. I'm wondering if the SSL/U87 is a good combination for rap/RnB and wich compressor/eq plug ins work best. Of course i know that depend on the material but i'd appreciate if you guys have any have any tips or if you know general comp/eq settings that works well for hip hop/RnB.
I'm really happy that i found this forum,
Thanks,
Brian.
