I also am going to be doing some deeper a couple of hip hop vocalist and rappers. So eq, and dynamics for the lower and more solid stuff will be needed. Thanks, Brett

hip hop? again really depends on what you want, but i'd say any crappy old mic will do, the worse the better. that's if you like it ruff. but if you want a deep male radio dj thing use a parametric and boost around the bottom between 60 and 150 with a middleish q, again sweep until you find 'that' frequency. and loads of compression.

A homemade pop sheild will help to alleviate the need for controlling 'explosives' & sibilance - you want to do that because explosives cause the comp to pump more of course... I personaly go for some light compression on vocal tracking that's it because compressors can make bg noise WORSE of course at high settings.
However with digital and plenty of headroom mebe use some limiting to stop overloads only and compress on mixdown to taste??
I'd go for a dryer soundmyself because your hall might sound good in isolation to you, but once in place in a mix the natural verb on the vocal might clash with sitting the vocal right.

I never compress vocals on the way in. In the mix, I often use the Waves RCL at about 2.5:1, just to even things out a bit.
