I use it to hi-pass and remove room resonance. I'll also turn to the Oxford EQ, because it's my 'go-to' clean EQ. In those cases, I find that sprinkling some 'Warmth' on there will give me the edge that's not volume-based, but excitement-based.
Sometimes the track is just right, but the vocal is lacking a little bit of edge and excitement. I use the Warmth function on the Dynamics plug-in. What other Oxford plug-ins might you use to take the vocal from that point? From there, it's a blank slate for me to add color if I want to. I can get a vocal to sit exactly in the mix as I want. I can actually use more compression than I would with other compressors, and doesn't even sound that compressed, So it's about the flexibility and transparency. It's completely transparent and I can get very even vocals out of it with no artifacts whatsoever. That can be great, but I personally like to pick my color, which is why I like to use the Oxford Dynamics to compress a vocal. While that is a valuable tool and its fun to use, it's basically doing two things at once to your vocal. How do you use the Oxford Dynamics on a vocal?Ī lot of people think that to be able to have a good vocal sound, you might need a late 60's LA-2A and such. Here are a few questions that the Sonnox team asked Fab about producing a great vocal sound.
