Ok. I was curious as how one arrives at some current vocal effects. This is nothing new but I wasn't sure how one arrived at it. I am referencing the lead vox on The Bravery record (kind of Strokes-esque in a way) Sounds like an EQing thing, possibly a little amp-ish plugin. Anyone pull this off or can tell me a good place to start? The vocal is thinned down while accentuating some cool sibilance and a little grit. It may be cliche at this point - but I would like to learn how to do it.
