[@iamjshep3]

I use the whole thing or just 9. 1. Parametric EQ 2 - You shouldn’t need to make major changes, only major change I use is the 6, cause the 6 can also be used as a de-esser in a since. 2. Maximus (de-esser) - Solo the mid frequency, and see where those plosives peak, and round them off. 3. Compressor - Self explanatory. 4. Reverb 2 - Make it a lil wet, like 10%-14%, for my verse mix. 5. Fast Dist - Helps boost the loudness of my vocal. 5. Multi-Band Compressor - Level out the frequencies of my vocal and or compress a lil. 6. Soundgoodizer - I normally use B, and turn the knob to like 2-3 spaces. 7. EQUO - Smoothen the vocal 8. Soft Clipper - Clip/round off my peaks. 9. Limiter - I turn the gain and threshold/cel down by 1db - 2db to limit the peaks 10. Fruity Balancer - Sometimes I use this to balance the vocal if I didn’t rap straight into the microphone or just to lower the loudness of my vocal a lil.

I only use auto tune for vocals not on a melody or on anything else but that so hopefully that was on the main mixer channel I didn’t look closely enough

[@YungKeshi]

If your gonna add all those special effects (sfx) into 1 mixer track then put the EQ(‘S) at the end to eq it all out otherwise it’s gonna stack on top of each other and they’re basically gonna only half work if your using just couple of mixing plugins like reverb, gross beat e.t.c. then 1 in my the beginning and 1 at the end is okay but I always put mine on #9 and or #10 (at the very bottom) so all the stuff I add later can be EQ’D out…

[@YungKeshi]

Cuz if not then the ones you have in the beginning (at the top) are gonna be for basically no reason and you gonna have to end up putting another EQ which IMO is pretty OD, like might as well take the first ones out at that point..

[@Sheesherscreepers]

Wait.. why do you have a waves tune mono and stereo? Also i just make a bus for reverb, easier to control and it sounds better to me and also you have more room on you fx chain. Also I would add delay to this list. Even just a small amount of delay can make it sound really nice. Also a soundgoodizer and a plugin like fresh air can give you a nice vocal on top of the EQ and compression.
