im a beginner with recording vocals
i got a home studio to record in i have experience with cubase and recording midi and guitars and mixing them but never vocals
lately i got a good deal for a mxl v67g and i started using it but i struggle to get tight vocals that sits good in the mix
id like to know whats the best plugins to make my own vocals be tight like in the clips i sent

thanks knowledgeable guys

 

Highpass filter, EQ, compression and reverb usually. Less is more.
The first video has vocals that are double-tracked, so if you want the same sound you need to souble-track your vocals.

thanks mate,so can you tell me please:
1.if i should put the plugins you mentioned in the "insert" of the audio channel in cubase or open a new effect track and put eq there for each effect like i seen in some mixing vocals videos?

2.when recording vocals,should i first record it dry into the mix with no inserts\sendings at all and add them after or can i record it already with EQ , comp delay rev etc

thanks for your help

 

Filter/highpass (I wrote wrong), EQ, compressor on insert.

Saturation and distortion is a matter of taste (either in serial/insert or parallel/send).

Time effects like delay, reverb, etc are most often as sends/parallel, because you have much more control over the effects. Most of the time you want to EQ, filter, de-ess and maybe compress the send before it hits the delay/reverb.

 

so about doubling can i use doubler instead of double the track?
if so whats the diff between doubler 2 to doubler 4 ? haha

 

Do double/twice (or even thrice) recording of the same line. That will be the best result. It also takes some practicing, but will be much better result compared to a doubler.
