    Hey Guys,

    I'm in the process of mixing some female vocals for a project of mine.

    Just curious what your some of your vocal chains are.

    All in one plugins are what I normally use out of convenience, but interested to know what some of you are using. In the past I normally only dealt with aggressive metal vocals, but this is more pop to rock female vocals. Kinda feel a little lost at the moment with it all as I'm not used to it.

    Cheers

    I have dealt a bit with my own voice singing vocals.

    I dont often mix female vocals.
    I used :
    Digital Fishphones Spitfish Deesser (a 2003 free plug-in but I'm still using it)
    TDR Kotelnikov compressor
    TDR Slick EQ
    Fab Filter Pro-Q 3
    Plus a bit of Lexicon LXP reverb on the effect send.
    All female vocals I mixed were good recordings of good singers.

    FF Pro-Q and Lexicon are paid, the three others are free.
