Anyone have any thoughts on what it takes to get a good vocal sound in the mix? I'm starting to think it's weird that guitar players spend all that time fussing about tone, while the vocals - the first thing non-musicians connect to - we're just, "leave it to the sound guy."
But we all know that a fair proportion of sound guys just don't give any kind of f*&^, right? And sometimes there's no sound guy.
I'm really liking the features offered by the TC Electronic units (where you tell the sound guy to just zero everything and let the unit do the 'verb, EQ, delay, etc.). But the other thing is, if you're setting your vocal yourself, what does it need to not have that boomy, lost in the mix, convention-key-note-address sound?
