Hello James,

While compressing the lead vocals of the verse I was like, what if I
compress them ridiculously. And I quite liked the effect, it's finer
grained than a distortion or overdrive. I did experiment with those but
it all got too hefty, too degraded. I like it that it starts to saturate
when the vocal part gets louder. I did spent quite some time running the
vocals through zita-at1. I now know exactly how this nifty program works
but wasn't satisfied with the results. Not that zita-at1 is not good,
it's excellent, but somehow the autotuned parts didn't fit in the track.
And I did use a vocoder in the bridge (thanks David Robillard for
porting the mda plug-ins to LV2!) , maybe I should've used that
elsewhere too but I can easily create some extra seq24 patterns.

Thanks!

Jeremy
