[Spin]

i have a digital recorder...and a akg c1000..i dont have a preamp...but i run it a compressor and that boosts the signal...my voice is strong and very much like the guy from alice in chains...but the vocals are always weak..and im NOT doubling them..i dont really like that sound....is there a way to make my vocals really FULL?

thanks

Yo Spinner-man:

Do all of the above and also get a good reverb box. Without good reverb most all singers in the world would sound kind of thin. [except opera singers who can BOOM it.]

Don't over-wet your reverb and when you get a reverb box, out of all of the 100 plus reverb rooms, you will find a couple that really fit your voice and with a good reverb box you can tweak the patches.

Have a booming good time.

Spin,

I would try a slapback effect to make it sound bigger.
Longer then 35ms between 120 and 300ms.
A single delay like this is also cleaner then using reverb and will cut better in the mix.

Also- try a delay of 35-75ms. Bring the level of delay behind the main until the combination sounds full.

Good luck
