Just some stuff about me.
Here's my dotfiles repository.

EQ: boost high (7-10k), cut low (100), small boost after low cut, boost mid presence where it doesn’t resonate (high whistle)
Something like this:
Compressor: vintage opto. auto release, slower attack, auto gain off. ratio ~5-6:1. high pass detect signal for compression, so no accidental high compression in lower range - more balanced. side chain → filter → HP. listen → ON. below 500 Hz, want body/mid to trigger compression.
Compressor: studio fet. short attack - compress front transients. auto gain off. softer - 2-3:1 ratio (only peaks front transients).
Mix knob on compressors to re-add a bit of dry signal.
DeEsser: solo filter, freq ~6k, shelf. Get out sibilants.
Optional vocal gate/noise gate: long attack/release. Maybe add RX7 debreather?
Send 1: tape D, unsync & short delay below 30 msec. dry off, spread max. Thickens the sound.
Send 2: space D, small bright voc.
Potentially send to another larger reverb.
