What's the best add-Ons for recording vocals?

[Mrcodyd]

What's the best add-ons for recording vocals? Preferably for a singer? I usually send my sessions over to my producer who uses pro tools but I want to be more hands on with my sessions. I recently started recording another artist who sings and would like to know about the best tools to use. Any advice will help, I'm fairly new to Auria so I'm still learning.


Thank you in advance.

The top of my list is Fabfilter Pro-DS. A deesser to remove some of those sss-sounds while singing. Saves some time compared with decreasing the s-sounds manually.

My fav so far is of course Pro-Q. Although the built in PSP channel strip/expander/compressor/eq/saturation, is more than capable of giving professional results.

The Fabfilter add-on's make some basic tasks much quicker and easier to achieve. The biggest advantage is there's so much control over every aspect of the functions like mid-side processing which is a very powerful tool when doing some very complicated eq techniques.

I use Pro-q, pro-c and microwarmer on every vocal track. As Erik pointed out, pro-ds is also very handy if the singer has too much sibilance (a harsh s or sh sound)

...I have all the above mentioned plugs. But on the song track DS is the one I'd choose if I have to pick only one.
