Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for VST voice processors to improve the overall sound quality...not looking for vocoder or extreme effects, as much as needing 'pop' quality effects - any recommendations?

Voxformer by voxengo will compress/gate/deesser/add presence/EQ etc to vocals.
v-vocal included in sonar 5 for pitch correction (made by cakewalk).Then theres anything that sounds good to you wich may not have been particularly made for vocals-e.g. hydratone eq,the new uad neve 1073 eq etc
but also (importantly) a great reverb and room modelor like classik studio reverb.A great reverb,voxformer,pitch correcter, and a great eq with character should take you far.

You should be able to demo most to hear how they sound.but the uad neve 1073 requires a uad-1 hardware card, and classik studio reverb requires you buy a $30 dongle to fully demo the plugin,but you can listen to short audio clips for free on the website to hear how the reverb sound.the rest of the plugins i named have a easy to demo policy, and you can install a working vst demo for free.I feel that all the products i named in my first post are amongs the best out here to me.If you would like to hear how a certain reverb or eq would sound on your material and you are unable to demo the product then just post the wave file and ask others on this site to process it for you if they own the effect you'd like to check out.

That's a great idea re: having someone with the effect set up the demo for me, thanks.

Take it from me, you can't go wrong with CSR; but it is on the slightly pricey side. Another great reverb is Arts Acoustic Reverb.

Also:

Kjaerhus Golden Compressor/Golden Audio Channel
WaveArts collection
Voxengo Voxformer
Chunkware Vanilla Compressor
Crysonic SPECTRALIVE (for ehancement)
GVST Bundle
TbT Audio bundle (good compressors and tube warmth plugs)
VBAudio Striptool Free
Digitalfishphones Bundle

Phew!

Sadly, I have to put GSNAP on all of my vocals.

Works great, if you need AutoTuning, as I do. It's free, too. It's in the GVST bundle that bduffy just suggested.

1. Download the trial version of: http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/gac-1.php

2. Insert GAC1 in your vocal track channel of the mixer of your host.

3. Load the "Fat Vocal" preset.

4. Listen

Cheers
