EQ, delay, reverb.. depends what ur really going for.. those are mostly to fix it and make it blend better with the song.. |

Usually some reverb so it doesn't sound so dry. The overall level in the mix is important, so that it won't stick out like a sore thumb.
Sometimes an offbeat 1/4 delay at the end of a phrase can add some style. If you add too much all the time the vocals will sound unclear, but doing some timed effects works well. |

| Compression! It's almost necessary if the level of the vocal is uneven. And of course a noise gate to eliminate background noise and headphone bleed. |

I don't record vocals. I use the fruity loops speech generator whenever I need vocals. By itself it's not very good, but when you add effects to it, it becomes useable. The effects I use include reverb and delay, of course, as well as compression, vocoder, grainulizer, and distortion. I love vocoding, I try not to overuse it though. I like using 2 or 3 note chords when vocoding, as well as chord changes.
I use a free vst compressor called "VoxengoVoxformer" that has a filter build into it, so you can get a variety of tones combined with compression. There are some nice presets that can make the vocals sound like they are coming through a telephone, an old mic preamp, or a transistor overdrive. It's buggy, and the audio will dump sometimes, so you have to freeze it or bounce it to audio. |

For making it more pleasent for the ears:
- Compressor
- DeEsser (For making the "S"-sounds more smooth and not as ear-piercing.)
- EQ
- (Sometimes) Tube distortion (For a bit warmer sound).
For making the vocals blend into the track:
- Delay (I most often have the delay as a send, wich I've put an EQ on and removed most of the lower mids and lower. I find this sounding alot more clean and doesn't disturb the original signal as much.
- Reverb |

| Waves has a couple of plugins that can be used very effectively for compressing and processing Vocals. Try to flatten the dynamics by adding heavy compression and a limiter at the same time... the Waves L2 is just about perfect for that. 1 rule though, compress before adding other effects. |
