I learned that technique from one of his videos I sure. Great resource!


This is all beyond my knowledge/skill level but I do have a question. I often use automation lanes on a vocal track in Logic Pro to add or alter the amount of delay wherever desired or for that matter any of Nectar 2 modules and their many variables. How is this different in result from what you described? Pardon my ignorance.

Bud, that's the way I do it most of the time too.

The results will be the same AFAIK. Only difference is you are controlling the amount of delay manually via automation instead of the compressor doing it automatically, so a bit of a timesaver I guess; once you get the compressor setup you are done.
