If you apply the effect directly to the tracks, instead of using a return track, do you get the same result? This will answer your question. It could just be that your effect makes that particular vocal part sound tinny and shitty, or it could be a phasing issue.Im not sure you guys understand. I placed a JJS vocal plug-in on return track A. I then took seperate recorded vocal tracks and turned up the A channel on both. One of the vocals sounds awesome the other sounds metallic. Both vocal tracks are using the same settings since its coming from the same plug-in. If one of the tracks sound metallic the other should as well, right? Im not trying to be difficult, just trying to get an answer.
What I hear you saying is like saying this "I apply 6dbs of compression to my kick drum and it sounds awesome, but when I apply that same compressor to my high hats it sounds like shit. How could this be?" - My response would be "they're not the same instrument! therefore the same effects won't always sound good on one when they sound good on the other"
I think the answer is probably already here: most likely it's a phasing issue, and one vocal part is just more "sensitive" to it.
