Cole’s engineers often use a two-stage approach—a fast optical compressor for peaks, followed by a slower compressor for leveling.
Route your main vocal track to an empty mixer track labeled "Vocal Reverb."
Use a dedicated de-esser (or a narrow band cut in an EQ) to tame harsh "S" and "T" sounds, typically around 5k–8k.
Set the to a slow-to-medium rate (around 40ms to 60ms). This ensures the correction is transparent and retains natural human vibrato and slide transitions. Step 3: De-Essing (Fruity Limiter / De-Esser)
Now, let's build the chain.
The goal is a "three-dimensional" feel that remains intimate rather than distant. Saturation : Subtle harmonics added around
