Vocal recording resources?

Vocal recording resources?

2003-06-12 by broadlawner

Hi,
Does anyone know of a good site or book to turn to for ideas on lead
vocal 
recording/sweetening. I know that's a pretty vague request, but I
have to believe that 
there somebody has had some success and shared their set up as a
starting point 
that one could apply to achieve, say, a Coldplay-like sound?

Before I get blasted off the forum for being so naive, what I mean
is; there must be 
some tried and proven production combinations of delay, reverb,
doubling, shifting 
and exciting that could get a close-miked male vocal into the
Coldplay ballpark? 
Something I could dial into the gear that I have, which, although not
Apogee and 
Neve, is still pretty damn good, and should be able to get close.

Or is it having a $15k Lexicon that really DOES make the difference.
I refuse to believe 
it.

If someone asked me how they could take a head and shoulders portrait
and enhance 
it in Photoshop to make it look like a gallery shot, I could point
them in 
approximately the right direction (cos that's what I do). I'm looking
for the vocal 
recording equivalent...

Open to all pointers. Thanks.

Set up with: 
Logic 6.1/OSX
Delta 66 card
Rode NTK mic
Focusrite VoiceMaster Pro PreAmp/Optical Compressor/EQ
