There are different compressors and unique pro vocal chains emulated inside each setting; both analog vintage and modern units are represented. There are five lighted "Style" buttons that you'll get to know well. They are Smooth, M/S or Medium Smooth, Medium, M/H or Medium Hard, and Hard. Within each of these styles, the preset attack and release times are optimized for vocals so that they will clearly stand out from the track in a controlled-way based on the setting of the Para-Comp+ fader.

Parallel compression allows for very drastic compression but since you can mix back in some of the original uncompressed sound, the sonic fidelity can be carefully maintained. I found Lush Vox perfect for compressing lead vocals when I'm in a hurry and without the time to audition several different vocal chains and compressors with various settings.

To start, I usually put the Para-Comp+ a little more than half way in its range to really hear what Lush Vox is doing! And then I just click through the various five styles to arrive at one that fits the mood, timbre, and vocalist's style.

Switching from the Smooth style all the way up to Hard does not increase the overall volume greatly--that is a big help when listening with the backing track playing! There is no EQ in Lush Vox but the Hard position does harden up a singer's timbre as if they sang much louder, whereas Smooth seems very gentle and laid back.

A great little plugin that simplifies the process of getting a lead vocal sound, Lush Vox normally sells for $99 MSRP as a download.
