Would anybody like to share their Tonmatch settings for Vocals? I just picked up an Audix OM7 and it seems to really work well. I realize that much of this is personal taste, vocal type and tied to the microphone you are using. Below is what I am doing. Please feel free to share you ideas and thoughts. Thanks!

Mic - Audix OM7
Mic Pre - Up 3/4 of the way (you have to really crank it for the OM7)
Setting - OM6 (there is no OM7 setting)
EQ - Low up 2.0db, Mid 0 flat, High up 2.0db
Para EQ - Off
Comp2 - Medium Thresh -23.5, Gain 5.0 db
Mod - Off (does anybody us this on vocals?)
Delay - Off (does anybody us this on vocals?)
Ch Reverb - Mix 27%, Bright 30%
Rverb Type - Medium Time 1.75ms, Bal. 53%

Hi Sharkbyte,

While I am using a different microphone, the EV 767, with the trim at about 2:00, I am curious as to the compression setting.

I have had a bit of an issue, using compression and getting feedback. I like the feel of compression, it just made the potential for feedback a bit too touchy.
I do eat the mic, get great tone and have plenty of volume. Actually can walk in front of the tower with out feed back as long as compression is off.

I have recently switched from using reverb to a bit (15-20) of digital delay. Myself and a few listeners, seem to like it better.
Thanks for posting your setup. I may play with compression again.

Joel,

I like a bit of compression on my vocals. The OM7 is a different sort of Mic and it reguires a lot of gain through the Mic Pre's. This also impacts the compressor settings a bit. If you are using the T1 it is very simple to use. Prior to my Bose system I have many years of experience with dbx compressors. What I like about the T1 is it should be simple for anybody to use. I selected medium as opposed to light. I am not sure what the ratio is but I did not notice any pumping or issues. The T1 has a nice graph bar that you can watch to see when the comp is kicking in. I generally run it so it only comes on during the loudest of vocals by just a bit. This tends to make things smoother and not so harsh for the listeners.

Try it out and have some fun!

Jimmy and Val,

Thanks for posting your set ups. It seems we our set ups have a lot in common.
