Not sure how it would translate to the vocals here but would like to hear it.The intent is to have a gentler attack and more even compression. It's not reacting to the initial attack of the signal but the trail. In trying it today with vocal rider the result was a more leveled vocal signal with little or no need for automation. The other times I've missed this I've tried compression to help even things out but it never worked right. It was either still too dynamic or the compression was too noticeable. Automation was necessary but a bit laborious.
Though I'm just casually messing with the idea at the moment. It's not that interesting sound wise but it seems useful in really dynamic tracks such as this one. I'd be curious to try it again with different compressors. I'm not sure what would work best.
It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
