Default Is there a plugin that does this?

Is there a plug in that does something similar to what is described in this article?

Quote:
He took the vocal and split the signal so that it when to 2 console channels. Before the vocal signal went to the second channel, it went through a compressor. Now he had two channels of the vocal - one compressed and one uncompressed. On the uncompressed vocal he added very little with the equalizer and he added the reverb. On the compressed channel, he compressed the h**l out of it and added a ton of high-frequency equalization. What he would do is bring up the "natural" channel to full level to get the basic natural sound on the vocal. On the other compressed and equalized channel, he brought this up just enough to add excitement and presence to the vocal sound.
This similar to the parallel compression used in the so called New York compression trick often heard on drums and guitars. I do this now by just duplicating the track and blending the 2 together. If there was a plug-in that did something similar, I could free up a voice each time I apply it.

Yes, it's just parallel compression with lots of hi boost on one of the channels. Don't know of a plug-in that does this exactly. To save voices you could send your audio track to a pair of aux tracks. You have to watch your latency with this kind of thing (depends on what plugs you're using) or you may get unpleasant phasing between the tracks, but other than that it'll give you complete control over whatever plug-ins you want to tweak for each track. Some compressors have blend controls (I can only think of a couple of hardware units that do this, and no plugs offhand) which allow you to mix the compressed and uncompressed signals, but this won't give you the ability to EQ the two signals independently.

Quite easy to do I would have thought, just bus the track to two tracks and EQ the one track and compress the other with some eq. Or ghost the audio track and eq and compress it and have the original as clean.
