By warmer, I'm assuming you mean "less flat and less dead" sounding. Just play with the equalizer functions, add some bass, or cut some bass, and play with the trebles, get a clearer sound. Once the tone of the voice sounds good (not too bassy [booming], not to piercing [trebles]), then play with some reverbs, add some depth to it. Good luck. :thumbsup:

By the way bro, I finally got a recording up with my MobilePre, you had a thread just a little while ago about it, asking for a recording.

A little reverb goes a long way. Also if you have any delay effects those can be cool if done properly a la howie day. Best way to get delay to sound good is to match the repeat rate with the tempo of the song and have it decay rather quickly.

If you put up a sample of your singing, i can give you better feedback, but try that for now.
