The nameThe lip is the rim of a pot, the part at your mouth.

What it does
Two-stage compression
Level evens out phrases slowly, then Front puts the vocal forward. Aggro turns Front hard and fast for screams.
Clean between lines
Gate lowers breaths and headphone bleed; De-ess catches only the loud s and t sounds.
A double, built in
Two slowly drifting voices left and right, for width without a second take.
Eight starting points
Default, Rock, Clean Pop, Scream, Male, Female, Rap and Backing.
