Hello everyone,

I've been having my fantom g for about a year now and I am now just really getting into much detail about it. Recently I have recorded vocals in studio mode. I haven't added any affects to it or compressed it or anything so it sounds lame! :(

I would really like to know if there is any way I can add affects, compress, make it sound like it is part of the song, etc on the fantom G. This will be a big help if anyone can help. I appreciate the feedback!

Hi,

There are a lot of ways to do this. I find the best and easiest way for me is, when you have a music track from your Fantom, to record it in a daw like Pro Tools or something like that. Then have the vocal recorded in another track in that daw. I record mine trough a decent pre-amp with a little compressing and sofort. EQ and effects are done afterwards in (in my case) Pro Tools.

This is how i find it to work the best for me.
Off course you can mix in the fantom itself too. Just make a final mix with use of the inter fx processor.

Good luck.

I do the exact same thing as aftertouch. Only I use Magix Music Maker. Probably not as good as Pro Tools. But I find it SOOOO much easier using a program on the computer.

Hi q.charles1991.

The 'G' has a surprising number of effects on board that can be used to enhance vocals without the need of using an external DAW application.

If you have recorded a vocal / audio track in STUDIO mode, simply go to your EFFECTS (ROUTING) screen, then choose the 'Audio Track' option. This is where you can either route your audio to a chorus/delay, reverb, and/or to MFX1 or MFX2.

To choose MFX, highlight the area just to the left of the MFX1/2 boxes and then use the data dial to edit the signal path. Remember, all of these effects options are 'global', so any change will affect other parts whose signal is also routed to these effects. Choose the MFX using either the [F3] or [F4] buttons. Using the #46 Modulation Delay with a quick delay time and adjusting the wet/dry balance is a great way to add a 'doubling' effect to vocals, for example.

If you do not wish to 'tie-up' any of these effects, an option would be to temporarily assign the effect(s) to your audio, and then 'Resample' the audio with the included effects. You can then re-use the effect(s) with other parts!

Cheers!

Keep in mind, resampling will introduce a LP filter in your sample. You may want to add preemphasis afterwards to help restore those precious highs.
