Voice-Overs Processors

[charlesdancoe]

Hi Peoples

I wanted to get some ideas on this right now I am looking at buying me a Vocal processor that will give me a (Ballies) voice or even a nice punch. I have been looking at the Avalon VT-737spTube Microphone / Instrument Preamplifier, Opto-compressor, and Sweep Equalizer. Suggestions?

What is the best gear to use to get that deep voice or punch I do know it depends on the micrphone but in this case im talking about processor for now.

thanks

I bought a used Symetrix 528e for $75 that is now my main go-to unit for voice over work.

It may not make a thin voice sound deep and thick, but it has very usable de-essing, compression, and EQ. AND it's very clean.

yes, the avalon would be a great choice
but the price is pretty high

maybe a dbx 160a compressor/limiter will work for you.
although a pre amplifier it is not, you would need a pre amp.

dbx 376 Tube Channel Strip would work too for 1/4 the price

Focusrite Voicemaster PRO Voice is a nice unit.

if you would like to do some more research

google "channel strip"

hope this helps

also, a large diaphram condenser microphone is a great choice for a microphone.

since you seem to have a 2k+ budget, it might be worth it to purchase a middle of the road channel strip and then get a couple of different microphones.

a dynamic EV RE20
a Studio Projects CS5
a Bock Audio 195
a Shure SM27

are all wonderful microphones..

It is a wise idea to get a quality studio mic, we went through about three cheapo mics and still have not learned, but then again we don't have a large budget so we get what we can afford. We have a MXL 440 now, which works alright but does not offer the best sound quality.

Suggestions? .... What is the best gear to use to get that deep voice or punch....

Hate to tell you but radio and vo people DEVELOP that voice. It's not something you can buy.
