Thanks, it opens with the Green Bullet into the SSL channel mic pre with a lot of Distressor on the insert. The stereo version is a pair of AEA R44CE through Amek 9098s into 1176s direct to Pro Tools 192 interface. I did use light amounts of eq and compression but mic placement is really the basis for the sounds.

Typical vocal last night. Record 3 decent takes then comp them together. Then clean up any extraneous noises. This includes de-popping and de-clicking. Then fix any timing issues . Then address any pitch issues. Then do dbls, harmonies, etc.
What's your process?

Absolutely. Moving the microphone or even using a different one instead of using eq used to be taught. I remember once reaching for an eq and getting a gentle slap from Michael Brauer who told me to get up and go move the mic. It makes so much more of an impact over EQ. If the source is loud I use a Royer 122 or Beyer 160 which can withstand 120 db.
