Heard a rumor !

Can or does a mic pre amp help with the sound of a nasal or strainy Voice ?
 
I don't know why it would....! Tyipcally, a mic pre is designed to put out what you put into it, sometimes with a bit of color.... but I've never heard the "color" to be a de-nasaler!!! :p
 
Some 'boxy' sounding mics can make a nasaly singer sound more nasaly. So I guess a a certain mic pre could make that sound worse but I doubt there's a mic pre that can eliminate that sound.
 
a de-esser can do that sometimes, when you tweak the right frequency

There is a thread on this subject over at gearslutz.com with lots of info. Do a search for "nasal singers" and you will find it.
 
if you have that big a problem try using effects ala the band skinny puppy.
distortion/Flange and choruss/ something to take you away from the fact theres a problem with the singer. a great pre will just make the nasel sound more clear.

Might not go well if you're recording country though... :p
 
You are so right /Jazz Country /Blues/ then Last but not least
I feel a better singer is needed. I was in a band back in the 80s
that many record companys were interested in. we had a pretty
big following and the singer was the perfect front man (But)
on tape he was'nt good enough and after two years of almost being signed. I quit because our management company dropped
us and the leader was the singer so I so no hope. this singer also
had a nasel voice but the girls loved to look at him.
