Vocal Preamp Vst


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a decent free Preamp VST that I can use when recording vocals - does anyone have any ideas?

 

I'm trying to get a seventies type vocal sound, clean and clear but with a bit of tube-type saturation.  I have tried some of the saturation VST's but they don't seem to be giving me what I want (thoug my knowledge of working with them is limited, so I might not be getting the best from them).

 

Any help would be appreciated.

there are many mic pre VST's out there.. but as mentioned by Hobo, they are only trying to mimic. For lack of a better term, they are nothing more than fancy eq's in my experience.

 

That said, some of the most popular and best soundings ones that I have found are in the Waves collection. They have Abby Roads mic emulators as well as a few decent tube and "analog" sounds plug ins. I have them all, I have tried to use them all, but I have not a single time kept one of them in my mix. You're mileage may vary..

 

Now if we are talking about getting fatter and nicer sounding vocal recordings, I would encourage you to experiment with mic placement, and master the art of the channel strip. (Eq/Compression) and delay/reverb. Those things will have a much greater effect on your recordings than the mic pre vst.
