This tip adds a clean compression to your vocals that subsequently add interest and character!
1. Set a moderately fast attack time, between 1 and 10 milliseconds
2. Set a moderate release time, between 20 and 50 milliseconds
3. Use a ratio from 1.5:1 up to 3:1
4. Lower the threshold until the vocal is being compressed about 3 to 4 dB during loud moments.
5. For a consistent vocal tone, make sure that the vocal is being compressed a little bit even during quiet passages. This may require balancing the threshold against the ratio.
Tip: To make a smoother vocal, use a faster attack (1ms) and slower release (100ms).
For more detail and accents try a slightly slower attack (20ms) and a quicker release (15ms).
