Is This A Way Or Something Totally New ?

Ok guys so I have a question about a mixing effect. I produce mostly rap and the other day I was just getting around and messing with certain effects on my console and seeing what I could do/come up with. Long story short I had a real dull mic, thinking hmmmmm wonder if I can brighten it up I took my Aux send 1 and bussed a small amount of it to channel 1 on my compressor. Then fed the output to the channel insert/input of my mixer and used my EQ on that channel to add key frequencies to make the vocal a lot more noticeable. So is this already a effect that people use ? I was just curious about this. Thanks!!! Awesome site by the way.

Are you asking whether or not tracking with parallel type of compression and eq is new? If so the answer would be no.

This technique was invented in the 1960's by Lawrence Horn (Motown's Chief Recording Engineer)
