Tricks? Here's an old one...
Mult the return of a signal and feed it to two channels at the board. Insert a compressor across one return and squash the hell out of it. Now blend this channel with the original signal (favoring the original). The idea is that you get the fullness of the compression, but the crispness and some of the dynamics of the original signal.
It's supposedly the secret to the Who's Next guitar sound. Works great on vocals too.
BTW, if you're doing this on a DAW, insert the same plugs on both channels and set the clean chanel with "blank" settings, or you'll get bad phase problems because of the slight latency.
Also, you can EQ the compressed signal (smiley loudness curve) for a bit of an enhancer effect.
AND ... the PSP plug-ins all have a "mix" parameter which affects the same result as mxing the two signals at the board. Cool!
