well it sounds like on "dont forget to breathe" you peaked the master bus out due to the bass end of the spectrum.
The vox sounded a little boxy roll of some mid range in the vinyage harmonics section.
Also dont use the "depth" button its just too much.
I reccomend not engaging the >post compression button as well.
It can bring out waaayy too much sibilance if engauged before compression.
I dont use the compressor on that unit. I think it sounds cheesy.
The tube sound is good though.
ive always got that on.

Hope that helps.

I left a diagram for some decent vocal settings on the Voicemaster Pro. You will need to blow it up but it may be useful. I use these settings with the NTK all the time.

I would imagine you will have to tweak the EQ a bit to match your mic but the compressor settiings are good for a mic distance of about 9 inches with a pop filter. Depends on how loud you sing.

I spent a couple of hours running vocals through the unit and tweaking the knobs, along with reading and re-reading the manual to understand the tube sat and EQ options. Let me know how it goes.

Don't bother with the expander or de-esser unless really required. The compressor needs a little more action in the first track. The reverb/delay needs to be a little less too.
