Pre-fx envelope for vocal track: manual de-essing and volume control at same time?
Hi,
This is my very first post. Before I ask my question, I just want to express my gratitude to the Reaper team and all the Reaper users out there who have posted helpful information on this forum and elsewhere. I've been using Reaper for close to a year now, with great results, in that is in large part thanks to those who have taken their time to share their knowledge and expertise online. Reaper is awesome, and so is the Reaper community.
Now, my question relates to two vocal processing techniques shown in Kenny Gioia Youtube videos: "Vocal Dynamic Processing in Reaper", and "De-essing vocals in Reaper".
In the first video, Kenny shows how to make the volume of a vocal track more even by creating a volume pre-fx envelope and making adjusments. Tried it and it works great! A bit tedious but worth it.
In the de-essing video, he uses the same volume pre-fx envelope for manual de-essing. Also works great, and worth the effort in my opinion.
My question is: if you plan to use a pre-fx envelope to make the volume of a vocal track more even before other processing stages (compression etc.), and you also plan to do manual de-essing of that same track, do you do both things at the same time in the same pre-fx envelope? That is what I assume, as I can't think of another way to do it, but I was hoping others could confirm.
Thanks
