The ones you know, like and layer. There are shitloads of presets for Sylenth1, Spire, Serum, Surge, Sismololimx, sossollsosVST5000, etc.
Which version of Ableton Live? Test/try to use a better SRC (sample rate converter). http://src.infinitewave.ca/
Getting "the right power and presence" could be using simple subtractive EQ on your music, so that the vocals can come through. Vocals have...
"Breaking through the mix"? Sounds like you are thinking about it wrong. Instead pull down everything (music), except the vocals. Let the solo'ed...
No. A louder mix means a louder mix. Not a loud master. Literally. Generally, if you have a loud mix you basically have to use less processing...

Maybe you are more into the character of FFT processing, like the free DtBlkFX? Also look into feedback-loops and pitch shifter (in the loop). I...
Trap. There are about 72364 hits on the sister site.
Do you confuse loudness with LUFS measurement?
Peaks are transients, which are quite important - even in EDM. If you take too much of it out (to the point where the difference between peak and...
As a ME I have the vocal as a constant reference. If the tracks are instrumental I go by percieved loudness and dynamic progression. Same goes...
Snap! I'm back in 1998 and online forums on dial-up modem. Same question. I'm also missing the "what DAW has the best audio engine?". :rofl:...
Doesn't really matter. Chorus is chorus, usually.
1) I would check to highest amplitude and see what the peaks look like, and listen to it (to see/hear if I find excessive distortion). 2) I...
I do 1dB or less, per instance. Preferably several doing little than one doing a lot. I learned to clip the converters in 1999 by a mastering...
You mean hard-clipped? You can see obvious clipping on the waveform, like when peaks have clearly been cropped off. When I master I use both...
I'm pretty sure your DAW has the option to save backups. Enable those. It's also good to save different versions of the project, so that you have...
Can you rephrase the question? Define "high volumes". What is distorting and why is it distorting? Not powerful enough amp/active PA? Or do you...
Chorus and Eventide Blackhole
With a de-esser (dynamic attenuation) you can reduce the spit, yet up the highs (fixed EQ) to compensate and get a more consistent top-end.
