Re: Tips to make vocal track fat & punchy?

Thanks Mark,
Wow, OK, trying to follow, here. This is important info. Are you saying that if I draw on the waveform itself, that it is like moving the gain slider pre-effects, therefore affecting the input level of the signal going through the effect slot? This would create a fluctuation in how much of the signal gets treated with the effect? Then does it mean the effects used will vary in intensity, which is not something I'd want to happen.
So then if I only use the Volume envelope to mix, then what I affect is a settled/stable level of gain with a settled/stable level of effect that don't fluctuate across the song?
It would then be self-explanatory that the gain and pan are located on the GUI before the effects slots, which are located before the track waveform. And that the envelopes are located beneath it all, affecting a full signal.
So: envelope = post-effect fader? Am I understanding correctly?
I also (rarely) use an envelope to control how much effect is introduced at certain points on a track, especially reverbs (selecting "Mix").
Thank you for the lesson,![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
