On tip 5 - what's the benefit of exporting & re-importing the vocal track, as opposed to just duplicating it?

[@CellarDoorSound]

If you duplicate it, you are also duplicating all the plugins that are on that track. If you export it, you export the sound of the plugins on the track. That way on your reverb track, you only need to add reverb and an EQ. Does that make sense?

[@KevinFanning]

@@CellarDoorSound Not really! But maybe i'm too inexperienced at GB to wrap my head around it. I would think you have a track with dry vocals and then apply the plugins & effects afterwards (ideally on a duplicate track)

[@CellarDoorSound]

@@KevinFanning No worries! Honestly you can do it either way. I like to have my vocals with some eq, compression, and de-essing before adding effects, but honestly there is multiple ways to do it. As long as you are getting a sound you are happy with, then you are winning!
