    I think many people forget these vocals are more than likely running through out board gear before it even touches the daw. These vocals really didn’t need too much signal processing. Guys like us might have to do bigger and broader steps to get to a good place.

      actually you can find a video of a stream of him mixing vocals recorded with an iPhone and he kept the exact same vocal chain, it's all about the ears and listening system

      We actually think that these vocals run through some great out board gears but it’s only 3 gears( compressor/ preamp/ EQ), the things is, if all of them are used.There is actually nothing too big about gear but Recording and performance is hands down the place to improve in music production.

    Having mixed multiple television and film tracks for huge commercials and worked on multimillion dollar ad campaigns, I can tell you turning off analog is not always smart. It depends on the plugin. Some plugins add white noise, but a lot of plugins have non linearities and harmonics that you're turning off.
    These videos are ok just cuz u can see that it's not rocket science even for people who are successful (whether they know what they're doing in many cases is honestly questionable).
    In the end u need to use your ears, but the formula is not that complicated. Eq, multiple rounds of compression, eq again to compensate, de-essing, bit of widening, effects verb delay etc.
    There's no magic chain, no magic hardware, no magic process. Clean recording in a treated room, good eq choices, and multiple layers of (multiplicitive) compression, and subtle fx is gonna get you there.
