Here’s a quick rundown on vocal chain for high fidelity, crispy pop vocals. I’m using Ableton Live but you can do this in any DAW. This would work really well with some tweaks for Rap and Rock music.
The signal flow is important. Also deciding what to use on individual tracks vs busses is important. Everyone does this differently and it could vary from song to song.
I dynamics processing (compression and limiting) to make the vocal very intimate. EQ to remove unwanted frequences and boost clarity. As well as a touch of saturation to make it in your face and present. Some de-essing may be needed if there is too much sibilance. This varies depending on the singer. Lastly a touch of chorus to make the vocal pop.
On the track level try these:
Compression
CL1B, 1176, Waves R Comp etc. Some people slam them or you can compress gently, and compress/limit later on.
Corrective EQ (subtractive EQ)
Fab filter, massenburg, Waves, Stock Plugins etc.
Saturation (if needed depending on style)
Black Box, Native Instrumets Bite, Ableton Saturator, Kush Audio Omega
De-Essing (if needed, you can do it manually or use melodyne)
On the Vox Group or Bus:
Limiter
Waves, Fab Filter, McDSP
Additive EQ for “Air” or Top End
Slate Digital, Pultec, Tube Tech, Maag, Kush, Mastering EQs, etc.
De-Esser If Needed
Multiband Compression
Fab Filter Pro MB, McDSP ML4000, Ozone
Chorus
Reason Rack Plugin, any delay plugin, stock Chorus
