I recently read an interview with Nigel Goodrich who, in my book is one of the best commercial engineers out there today and he's really doing some cool stuff. He's worked with Beck, REM, Pavement and is often called Radiohead's 6th member. In the interview he talks about how on Radiohead's newer albums' vocal tracks, which if you haven't heard the albums are choc full of weird vocal effects/processors, instead of tracking Thom's lyrics normally and then going back in and EQing and adding all the effects, compression and what have you, it's all implemented beforehand, thus allowing Thom to "play" the effects almost as a whole new instument. There is a ton of innovative processing that's done on both albums: Thom sings a vocal track in a way that it's phrases sound like gibberish(normally), until it's reversed and then it reveals a smoothly flowing melody.
In any event I really liked alot of what he had to say and was just wondering mostly if some of you "Pros" out there had, first of all heard and/or liked/disliked Goodrich's work on any of those artists stuff and more importantly, if you guys ever implemented any tricks on vocal lines that involved a ton of processing BEFORE you track?
