Hi Nigel - my recording and mixing suffers from two challenges - I'm a newbie and learning as I go, and I get impatient and don't like pfaffing around too much. I take the view that I am trying to present a creative idea rather than aim for recording perfection. I don't aim to use AI voices - I haven't mentally accepted that jump yet - and I try to not use pitch correction or I minimise its use, but I have sometimes. Never auto-pitch!
In relation to my voice, I'm not a natural singer and my voice can sound 'thin' and pitchy, so I thicken it up with two supporting vocals panned left and right but with lower volume (sort of like triple tracking). I've only just started compressing vocals and doing a bit more comping to get an even mix, so I suspect one of the tracks has popped out a bit more in places.

I would really welcome any ideas or techniques you or other forum users have for turning a sow's ear into a silk purse!
