Plug ins..... less is often more. Especially with vocals.

However, you make an interesting point about the "noise" in the vocal track. Some of the so called "vocal warmers" accomplish their job by ADDING noise and distortion to the track at very low levels. If you're hearing distortion or noise, shut everything off and add it back one thing at a time.... by itself to see what the source of the noise is. Once you find it, you'll know better how to proceed. But.... if the noise is being generated as a warmer to the vocals, you may want to leave it alone and simply edit the vocal track with either a volume envelope or edit to mute between the vocal phrasing like you might do to eliminate vocal breath and tongue clicks & lip smacks and such things.

BTW.... yeah, I bought a really nice condenser mic, and got some top dollar plug ins to use to make things sound better..... but all it did was clarify what was there to start, so I'm waiting anxiously for the release of the Ozone TALENT plug in to solve the issues I still have.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
