I generally prefer 1176 into LA2A. 1176 for the peaks. Fast compression envelope levels the transient spikes, into lLA2A for overall leveling. A sharp transient peak into an LA2A is not desirable generally speaking as the release is so incredibly slow, we can easily overcompress, meaning the next vocal line has been pushed out of the pocket. Every source is different but I generally get a smoother, denser result by using this sequence.

It's funny how things don't make sense- until they do. I hadn't quite figured out what to do with chambers. But your simple explanation combined with a perfect audio example (the short female pop phrases surrounded by the neat round chamber verb) helped me grasp the distinction between chamber and hall. I like your channel- I'm learning good stuff, thanks! 👍🏼

Hi Matty, I’m new to mixing vocals and I noticed you didn’t use delay on your parallel sends. Can you explain how you incorporate delay in your mixes? Thanks!

Vocal sounds great! Like others have mentioned on this thread, I tend to prefer the 1176 into the LA-2A, but this sounds amazing too. I recently picked up the Avalon from a UAD sale and it really is magical. Won't be doing the StudioRack thing though because I left Waves years ago when they switched to a subscription only model.

Great advice here! Do you ever use the Pultec EQP-1A on vocals? If so, what kind of settings have you found to be useful? Thanks!

This is good for a great vocalist. How about for vocals that needs surgical eqs?

I am trying to find my UAD plugins/VST3 versions on Studiorack but they are not showing up. How do I find them? Thank you!

Very helpful tutorial and it's a great sounding chain. The two reverbs have a similar decay time - do you have them at the same levels in the returns? Also, I have to set the Studio D to be quite loud in order to hear the chorusing effect. I have each of the four effects on individual returns.
