vocals

[Larry Bob]

How do you thicken (is that a word) vocals out, my voice is more hi, kinda like eminem I would say, his older stuff, but what would you suggest to make it sound fuller. I have heard compression, eq, does anybody suggest anything? thanks

If you are good, double the vocals. I am terrible, so I do one take, and then send it to a bus, with a chorus. There's a few things that could mimic this, so it really depends on teh song, and what you are looking to achieve. A chorus, a delay, compression, and reverb are some ways to thicken it up, and make it sit better, but all is dependant.

using the search might thicken the vocals a lot

What microphone are you using?

Use the proximity effect to your advantage. Try some multiband compression, and of course eq. Reverb can also thicken vocals. Chorus sometimes helps.

I find that doubling and multiband compression works well.

I find that doubling and multiband compression works well.

which bands are you compressing and/or boosting with the MB comp?
