This phenomenon can give the mix a sort of karaoke feel. There’s also the risk of raising the vocals too high without realizing it, either due to ear-fatigue or suboptimal monitoring. It can be hard to know whether to bury the vocal on a phrase for the mystery of it (the work of Tool come to mind) or to bolster the vocals above everything else. I find this meter quite handy, as vocal intelligibility is tricky to get right.

By integrity, I mean how easy it is to hear the words-the very definition of intelligibility. If I put an instance of Relay (think of it as Insight 2’s “helper plug-in”) in the last slot of my vocals/vocal bus, I’m able to monitor the apparent integrity of my vocals in relation to the rest of the material. However, it also works within the context of music. The Intelligibility Meter was designed primarily with post-production in mind. Here are useful features, listed below: 1. This has changed with Insight 2, for the suite provides several improvements that make it a killer companion for mixing duties. I might refer to it from time to time for mixing, but not as often as in other cases. Primarily, I’d use the original Insight in post production and mastering. I’m happy to report it has easily surpassed my expectations, replacing the original Insight in my practice. Now Insight 2 has dropped, and I’ve been lucky enough to use it for a few weeks. I liked it so much that I didn’t think it could be improved.
