, but Noel is going for the opposite effect. Instead of going for a uniform volume, he's bringing up the volume on verbs and nouns, and down on prepositions and conjunctions.

He could do this within SynthV as well. I just assume it's easier (and less CPU intensive) to ride the faders in his DAW.

Thanks for the clarification. While now understanding what the objective is I will mention that the vocal rider is not to create a uniform volume but rather to increase gain on lower parts and/or decrease louder parts - but to levels you control. And it uses no compression. I only use it when I notice that any part of the vocal is a bit lost in the mix. OK there’s my Waves promo 😀 but I do understand the difference now in what y’all are doing.
