Getting Started (AKA What is the best...?) • Re: Saturation

Is Tape saturation better,than other for vocal?

For bringing a vocal up in the mix, you can actually use some serious amount of distortion. Just split the vocal into a parallel channel, use a highpass filter to get rid of all low and mid frequencies, and put some nice distortion on it. Then, mix this parallel track in under the actual vocal track and hear the magic happen. You can then play with the highpass cutoff frequency for fine-tuning.

Or drop a multiband saturation/distortion on the vocal track and mix in some high-end distortion that way.
