Hey, So i am getting into the vocal phase of recording some pieces, and I am trying to get a rich tone in the recording. My voice is ok - it is on pitch, tonally full and resonant, but Im not Bocelli. Anyway, There are specific vocal tracks on songs that I really like, and despite not being sung by the "best" technical singers, they have that tone I am after. Most notably this song by Interpol called "Obstacle 1" (I can't seem to upload it - it is an m4a file - any advice how to get it on here so you can take a listen?). Listen to the vocal track (headphones bring out what I am saying) for the slight fuzz and presence - almost like the overdrive on a guitar. Whether you like his voice or not, any ideas on how to get that type of sound? How would this best be achieved? I assume with a ribbon mic (which I don't have) but could it be mimicked in any significant way with a condenser (LD?) or dynamic mic? Thanks for reading.
