Hi folks. I'm interested in learning more ways to subtly enhance a vocal. Some I've come across already are:
1. copying the vocal a couple of times, and subtly pit-shifting the copies, and mixing just a tiny bit of them in under the unaffected track.
2. A very slight delay to one side and a slight reverb like a nice mellow plate to the other side, both effects quiet enough that they don't draw attention to themselves.
3. I gave a vocal some life recently by putting a short stereo delay on it, but heavily filtering the delay tail.
You only hear something happening in the highs, which gives the vocal a subtle ambience, a shimmery quality.

It's not on the verse, just the choruses.
So, have you come across any other ways to subtly process a vocal and give it a little more body or impact??
