It is necessary for the program to be able to differentiate vocals from background noise, which is where the Vocal Sensitivity knob comes in. Once you've levelled the vocal using Vocal Rider, you can apply compression more gently and more musically, using the plugвЂ‘in of your choice, as you no longer have to deal with large level variations. The plugвЂ‘in has aВ sideвЂ‘chain input, and the best way to follow the mix level is to route all the instrumental sources in the mix to aВ bus and then select that as the sideвЂ‘chain source. Up to 24вЂ‘bit, 96kHz operation is supported, and the plugвЂ‘in works in real time so you don't even have to 'learn' the track first.
