Vocal Production Options

[dubster]

Hello,
I'm getting OK results recording vocals in pro-tools using a good condeser mike with compression and EQ, but i'm just not happy with it. I've been listening to a lot of really good vocal production of people with great, and not so great, voices such as Sufjan Stevens, Alice in Chains, A Perfect Circle, Neil Young, but it s not happening on my recordings.
Anyone got good techniques, effects chains, favourite effects etc?
Favourite vocalists?
Cheers

This is an interesting issue.

From my experience I can say a good vocal recording consists of 95% great vocal talent, 3% recording situation atmosphere and 2% technical stuff.

Red Hot Chili Peppers for instance have used a lot of cheap Shure dynamic mics to record their vocals. It's not the gear, it's what lies beneath.
