daveiv Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I'd love to see your vocal chains! ?️ My vocal chain (I know it's "meh", but whatever): Waves Tune (I don't always need pitch correction, but when I do, it does the job well) Waves Vocal Rider (when I feel lazy to do the levels manually) Waves MaxxVolume (upward compression) Waves Butch Vig Vocals (mAgiCaL compressor, de-esser, EQ, saturator) Waves CLA Vocals (mAgiCaL reverb, delay, chorus) Waves Scheps Omni Channel (final touches) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoisp Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Different every time haha i go where my ears take me, I see cakewalk as about 40 Templates in the FX chain for vocal channel and mastering etc but ive never used any of the cakewalk chain templates, however; I honestly think they should do a upgrade on VX 64 vocal strip and do a nice VST3 version (make it there own) Really you should start with a preamp you like, pitch correction maybe, noise gate before compression so you don't make it worse, EQ with de-essing and some effects like delay reverb and maybe stereo width. This beat needs to be the VOX CAKEWALK STRIP.. get making it guys lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVSX Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 VX64 is still awesome. Deesser is meh on it, but the Compander is really good. I also dial a little bit of saturation on my mid EQ band witch gives it more grittyness and the Doubler/Delay is nice. Delay is on almost every project from me. You guys know, that new Cakewalk users have to enable it on hidden plugins in the manager? Cannot recommend it enough. PX64 too btw.! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Earl Goodroe Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Simple!! Brainworx Focusrite Channel Strip or SSL G Channel Strip, depending on song style. That's it! Has made my job a whole lot quicker and sounds fantastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cakewalk never owned the code, and the person who does (the developer) is in prison for some very bad crimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv'e heard the scheps omni channel is a good vocal strip, tempting at £29 from £150 but i shall make do with what i have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy you are referring to, is the dev of VC64 not VX64, which was an inhouse developement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Tubbs Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 My channel strip is a Rupert Neve Design Portico II. Get it just about right during capture and there is less question about mucking around with the mix. Usually all it takes is some polishing. Maybe a little eq, and I still use the cakewalk’s la2a to final fit the vox into the mix. Usually everything goes thru the Portico II unless I have multiple recordings during a session. I don’t have a drum room at home so I usually don’t multi track a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 FabFilter Pro-Q3 and one (occasionally both) of these: Unfortunately, neither of these are available anymore. Yes, you can still buy FETpresser, but the version I use was the last rev that did not require a Pace driver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57Gregy Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 MXL 990 or MXL 991 into an E-Mu 0404. Or both. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
