What's everybody's usual vocal chain

mine:
- Compressor: CLA76 or 2A, or Fabfilter Pro C
- stock Pro Tools EQ for a low cut and other subtractive EQ
- the mids Puigtec EQ for getting rid of low-mid mud
- the regular Puigtec EQ for adding some high end
- Waves Deesser
- send to a reverb, generally Oxford reverb
- send to a delay

Cause you want to compress the sound after it's been eq'd nicely.

>Why does a bear shit in the woods?
that's not even what the saying is or how that saying works


oh look I boosted 1khz at 7dB and now the compressor is triggering earlier than it would have had I instead placed the compressor before the EQ. And my intended EQ changes have been slightly altered by the compression

Most of the time EQing should be done after compression, but it's not a concrete rule and it depends on what you're doing. For instance maybe you'd want to EQ out some plosives in a vocal so that they don't trigger the compressor

Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but here goes:

How much do you have to know about music to be able to properly make it? Do you have to have listened to a lot of different kinds? Because I'm just a lowly man who like everyone likes to listen to !music, however I want to make !music as well for the creative art of it. Thanks all.

Yes, presswerk is literally baby jesus reincarnated in compressor form.
>>
>>65353280
The only thing required is to have a critical ear for music. If you can listen to music and take it apart, and more importantly, have at least some opinion on what sounds bad, you can make it. Its only a matter of time, and tools.

I was gifted one of these. Now I won't complain, it was free...but I cannot make it sound good. At all

I'm sure some of you own this thing. How do you make it sound decent?
>>
>>65355450
Maybe it sounds alright when its heavily distorted. If it has any integrity as an analog drum machine, it should at least make some cool harmonics when you distort or overdrive it.

It does kinda suck dick though, based on what I've heard from it. Still. Even if it sucks on its own, you may find effects that make the most of it.

>>65351856
If you have low end/plosives/harshness in a vocal that you're just going to cut, why would you want it to trigger your compressor?

Typically the chain goes Subtractive EQ -> Compressor -> Additive EQ (boosting)
>>
>>65351856
>>65356096
I agree with what you have said, but I would shy away from saying its a 'rule' or anything. There are some reasons we can come up with either method.

Its worth noting that a lot of compressors have optional lowcuts that ONLY work on the incoming signal that triggers the compression- 'what the compressor hears'. The reasoning behind this is clear if you look at the waveform of a drum beat, and a drum beat with a subbass line in it. Compressors react to that volume / amplitude curve over time, and a big fat bassline is going to inflate the overall waveform significantly, causing the compressor to overreact and hit the threshold way too easily- often in undesirable ways. But turn up that highpass / lowcut that only effects the signal the compressor 'hears' and you now it grabs the peaks of the drums instead.

Not exactly the same thing you were talking about, but worth noting.

Trying to stray away from hiphop beats since I feel like it's making my progress stagnate.

Here's where I ended up.
