Mark! I stumbled across you channel as I was researching UAD preamps for VO. I've been using the VoxBox with MKH416 for many years. I recorded completely clean with no EQ or processing and have had solid success in the VO game. Your channel has been a revelation. I demoed the Neve DFC and C-Vox and added them to my chain in Console and the difference is crazy! I just finished a fully treated home studio build but even the the fan noise from my Mac Studio was picked up a tiny bit. The Neve and C-Vox nixed that. I'm currently A/B ing the 88RS vs VoxBox. I also produce and write music and have the Townsend Sphere. I love the BP 251-A for Pop vocals. After watching your video on the U47s I might try some VO with those. The Sennheiser has been my rock forever though so it will be hard to ditch. Thanks again for all of your insight and knowledge. A++

Thanks Jensen! Yeah man, the C-Vox and DFC are total game changers for home studio VO. Enjoy! And the great thing with the Apollo is you don't have to choose between any two preamps or channel strips. You just find what they do best and set up a preset you can call up anytime because there will be VoxBox days and there will be Neve days. And that versatility in your sound is what helps set you apart from the competition.

For compression I think you should try the 1176 and the LA2A Silver in tandem. They work very well and naturally together, and they add a warm tone to the equation. Glad you're building chains again.

Thanks! Yeah man. It's funny because the 1176/LA2a combo is what I did in my very first chain video from like 6 years ago. It's a great combo. For color on a sterile mic, I actually like the 176 better than the LA2A because it's just a little smoother and I like the mix knob on it.

Why split out the EQ, when you could just do it in the DFC? The DFC has a dynamic EQ band, as well. I also don’t understand your plugin order. The de-esser would typically come last in the chain, after EQ & compression, as those can affect sibilance.

Hi Roland, So, I prefer de esser as early as possible since EQ and compression can make it harder to control. I split the EQ because I like the EQ on the SSL. I hit it with the 15k in the DFC because I like the related boosts at 4.5k and 9k and don’t want to hit the 15k before the de-esser and air is the last thing I’d want to add in the chain. Also, the THD the SSL adds in the high end is so sweet, I don’t want to lose where it sits. Once it hits the DFC to glue it together, I can hit it with that 15 to just add a touch of sparkle. As always, what may work with my voice may not work with someone else’s, but it’s just all kind of an evolution of a process that I’ve been working on for decades and sadly know it will never end until they find my dessicated corpse in my booth with a microphone clutched in my cold dead fingers.

Hi Bill! Yes, I'm printing straight to Twisted Wave.

So yeah, it's whatever channel in console is on and has faders up and isn't muted. I haven't used ProTools in over a decade so I'm not sure how to suggest a solution. In Console, do you have "UAD REC" selected underneath the meters? Doesn't that print your FX to the channel track you're recording? Yeah, you're right. There should be a way I can just have this as a template file that could be exchanged with other UAD users.

Yes, I cut live through the plug ins and print FX. I feel more comfortable hearing what the client will hear when I'm on the mic, and often I have "turn and burn" bookings that come in that need to be cut and sent back super ASAP, so it eliminates the need and time to tinker and mix afterwards. It probably would be better to cut dry and just monitor FX and render them in after the fact, but even taking that extra 5 min to get a file out the door is too long when you have several to knock out while the clock is running.

Wolf Man! Dude, I really like the API Vision a lot and the new update with the graphic EQ is pretty great. I love the SSL for VO because of how "punchy and clean" it is at its core, but when you push it, much like the actual SSL hardware, you get this bit of THD, especially in the top end that helps it cut. It's not a lot, whereas with the API, you get harmonic distortion at lower levels. Plus,, even though the API is more mid-forward than the SSL, where it induces that harmonic content is right in the presence peak. Think about how big Neal Schon's distorted guitar sound in Journey is so in your face. That's the epitome of the API sound inducing a ton of character into that frequency range. I've used the API on VO stuff before and it does work well. I'm just more of an SSL guy, I suppose.
