Placing Silk Vocal early in the chain allows it to act as a problem-solver. It will clean up the proximity effect (boomy low-mids) and tame harsh high-end resonances before the signal hits heavy compression or saturation.

When a vocalist sings, their vocal cords vibrate to produce sound waves. The tension, thickness, and vibration patterns of the vocal cords determine the pitch and quality of the voice. A vocal crack occurs when there's a momentary lapse in the smooth coordination of these systems, causing a sudden shift in pitch. waves silk vocal crack full
